I apologize for the highly self indulgent episode. I equally apologize for the horrible execution of this adequately written piece. Well you have to start somewhere. I will be back to my unapologetically enthusiastic self. Thank you for allowing me to experiment.

Remember: Do not give up what you want most for what you want right now!
