I decided to have another go at finishing the blog - I only made it half-way last time.

It's juvenile garbage, and totally distracting. I wouldn't mind so much but he SHOUTS it, like a kid having a tantrum.
And, yes, I'm sure underneath all the wrapping of plain brown paper, fancy paper, toilet paper, and crepe is a message or two. I just can't be bothered shovelling all the shit out of the way.
It's all down to personal taste, isn't it?
(I still didn't finish it.)
