RAMS are never enough!!

Ain't that true!! Hell, ten eleven summers ago, I remember jumpin up up n away (not really) and down looking at the Intel Celeron 64MB, 20 gigs PERSONAL COMPUTER ( man, those were the days) that we had bought home from the then only computer shop in downtown Steel City. We had loaded up that enormous dump of white plastic, the size of Homer Simpson's butt and the backseat of our beloved Ambassador and the monitor still had to be kept up front!!

Perhaps it had something to do with the last two times, when I had hung out with some friends who were also returning home, I dunno. But what I do know is that I’d love to have a nice ol’ Subway veggie with mayonnaise n barbeque sauce on a parmesan bread ^_^
So I hear a guy talking to heaven knows who outside the airport building, in the area where that amazing marble globe is positioned, and he’s doing his absolute best to annoy the hell outta me. He’s the reason I’m writing this post, cuz I got things better than to hear some nuthead rant about his supposed love triangle and his oh-so-dramatic life in that deeply annoying voice which
