This song makes me cry when i listen to it now, I hate being away, why do people leave??? why do they manage to live away from the people they love and need? the people who would do anything to make sure we are happy, I miss my mom, my dad, my brothers, i just […]

And I have been for the past 5 years really, but this one is really different, these around me are the miserable type, they have no life away from their computers, I’ve been seeing the weirdest geeks ever, the type that don’t have any kind of communication skills, what so ever, they have no idea […]
