Question: What happened to my itsakx account?

Answer: It's exed!

Hahahahaha. Ok, not so funny given I don't have access to my blog if I don't have access to the itsakx account. But. Abhijeet, that lovely bald 6'feet-plus-two-down-below boy, is kindly posting this for me. I hope. I mean I emailed it to him and asked him to. And I think I house trained him pretty well.

So if you see this... well, you can love him as much as I do, and maybe head to the temple and break a coconut in his praise. Either that or you're hallucinating and this post doesn't really exist and you need to stop watching The Matrix 'cos Reeves isn't worth it and you can watch the Pillsbury doughboy ad for the exact same effect.

Okay, this blog post is pretty much done. S'long.

Romeo & Juliet, Sittin' in a Tree

Do you know what happens in Romeo & Juliet? Like, the story?

Ei should I say no so you can tell me?

Google it :P

You also dunno?

I dunno homie.

Pair of losers. That's all I know.

Er both died??

Both die. Don't get married. Get some sex o course.

They both die in the end. They are the epitome of the deepest lovers.

Their families are rivals, they fall in love.. obviously not working out.. in the climax when they try to get away.. the guy will pretend lik he is dead to get away bt the gal will think he is really dead and kill herself wen he finds this out he kills himself.. finito :D

Thought for the Day

Men think about sex every 7 minutes. Women think about relationships every 3.5. Funny thing is, I hear both involve the heart and not the mind.
