    The very next time I read a blog, Hopefully it does not fail me as much as this particular one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read through, however I truly believed you would have something interesting to talk about. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something you could possibly fix if you were not too busy searching for attention.
