Renaissance 2.0
I got tagged again. This time by Daniele Rossi whom I thought was a friend and paisan! Hmph. Just kidding. I don’t mind. It doesn’t seem to require as much work or input as some others so why not? So, here goes nothing. Six random things about Pai? 1. Even though I’m a big computer…
Blue Murder wasn’t around long but I love their song “Jelly Roll”! BlueMurder was the brainchild of guitar virtuoso John Sykes. It was a melodic heavy metal band from England, founded by ex-Whitesnake guitarist Sykes.

I accidentally stumbled across the corpse when I tried to visit some of the recent hot hashtags that many people on twitter have been meticulously using such as #Gnomedex and #DNC08. At first, I thought they were…
