in which I decide to tumbl instead of blg

Daydream
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydream
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day

Boulevard of Broken Dreams

Elvis Presley (January 8, 1935 – August 16, 1977)



Elvis Presley died at age 42 of a heart attack/alleged drug overdose.
In 1994, the autopsy into Presley's death was re-opened. Coroner Dr. Joseph Davis declared: "There is nothing in any of the data that supports a death from drugs [i.e. drug overdose]. In fact, everything points to a sudden, violent heart attack." However, there is little doubt that polypharmacy/Combined Drug Intoxication caused his premature death.
The song "Hound Dog" was originally performed by Big Mama Thorton.

in which greg attempts to keep himself awake all night in order to "study"

I have this remarkable talent, you see...

...many try all of their lives to attain it...

I have this uncanny ability to:

1) attract foot fetishists to my blog

2) overexpose photographs

3) use picknik to make my shitty photos look decent

4) look good.

This last one is for Tanji,
whom I'm sure will supply me
with plenty of sassy commentary for it.

Sincerely, Greg

P.S. You don't ever get rude with my friends. I don't care who you think you are, nor who you know you are. I don't care if you are the most powerful man in the world, or just some kid who is studying English and living off mommy and daddy. I don't care if they are rude to you, because you should know that I will put them in their place. You don't ever get rude with my friends. You ask requests politely. You also treat them politely and with respect, knowing we would do your ass the same courtesy. Remember: politeness goes a long way, and that Karma is a bitch and a half.
