The sun was setting when these words were written on a record book. I put down everything that I can remember from 1995 until now. It's all about the views of some famous people and some of the good people along with the corrections I have received from older people that I have met. About the smileys, I incorporated them so you will know a bit how I feel about a certain topic. If you have problems or anything else about this work, you can ask me nicely.

Here comes part where we all claim ourselves, In ways that don't cast a shadow. Ahh ! Privacy... How I adore your presence and admire your subtlety. How I just want to snuggle in your warm blankets and write odes about myself. As fickle and selfish it may sound, I need your blank sheet to express myself. You guide our filthy habits to solitude and stretch your canvas to things not quite ready for the world. Underrated and cynical beings will haunt you and paint your beautiful familiarity with fallen aspirations and jaded thoughts. But believe in me for I am not a monotonous being of daydreams and hard liquor. Peace.
