These things take hold with me at strange, perplexing and kind of random times. I am a rather habitual beast. When I get gripped by something…if it really takes hold, it becomes quite an obsession for a time. And then they remain habits. I’ve been trying to branch out my musical taste. It really is…

Not sure what this one will mean for the fans? More YouTube clip removals? More cracking down on some of the things that I do? Hey…who knows? Maybe someone from there would actually listen to me and I could get permission for use of lyrical content in my art? Pfffft! Yeah, sure. If I agree…
