Bye Bye Glutter. (For a Period of Time Anyway).

Tonight I found out that this little drama has not ended as I thought. 12 Glutter posts later, it’s still up and running. It got even more public and ugly. A private email was posted. I am speechless regarding this. I think it’s enough. I don’t like my intelligence and personality insulted because I don’tContinue reading “Bye Bye Glutter. (For a Period of Time Anyway).”

Street Racing: Addicted to the Experience.

RWHKSR: I know I said I never wanted to hang out with them again, which I now am quite sure is a lie. I know that’s how many of them feel about each other at different times too. Too many intense, individual people, who want to be in control in the same place competing againstContinue reading “Street Racing: Addicted to the Experience.”
