d/n't any of y/u out there tell me that a small % of y/ur soul doesn't
listen 2 this music b/c U know that the majority of people out there 
have never even heard of it. face it //// its an ego thing. Uall want 2 B
different and Unique //// and what do U doo // U join a forum where there
R others like U. Just when U were going 2 B the only guy on the block
with "THE NEW AE 10 INCH (LIMITED TO 15 COPIES, OOOO LA LA!)", U go 
and start hanging out with the other 14 people that own it. way 2 go
team. i'm not saying that its a bad thing /// i mean look, i'm here
aren't i? i just mean to say that with 900+ members U all can't B that
unique or special. its a good thing we live all over the world b/c if 
we all lived 2 gether we would kill each other. perhaps this all in my 
mind. yah fuck it. i'm just going 2 pretend i didn't say anything. U 
probably didn't want 2 hear that anyway. here....just go back 2 the
b-ginning 
and don't read it.yah... i'm just another one of U people.

different, unique and special,
rod
