Brainwaves of Sken

I decided to just plug away at this until it’s done, and man I’m glad I did. Let me away from this thing!

I noticed, at least after August, that I made an awful lot of F.O. posts. I prefer to be brave and public, but by now I’ve known a half-dozen people to get fired for things they’ve put on the web, including (when I was 19) myself. So, while I’d like to say that this year will be different, the signs aren’t good.
