Funny, I should be more excited about this place turning 7 today; yet, it just makes me angry. Angry with myself for not doing much with it once I revived it a few months ago. Maybe I feel that this is no longer my place since the beginning of it was also the beginning of a relationship that crumbled two years ago. I was surprised to even be able to get this place in my own name and information, considering the owner of it was off fighting oil fires in Iraq and getting into trouble in South America and other random adventures as he ran from everything.
