?1. It has come to my attention that posting at 8:55am every day is a job that conflicts with living life to its fullest, oh how did I error? In any case, I will still be posting every weekday and will try to hit the disclosed time amap (as much as possible.)2. Wouldn't you know that the benefit dinner I went to last night tuned into a break dancing fiesta. I will post a video of the club I went to this weekend.
