Pare's Request (A Late Answer)

So I'm about a month late.

Sorry, Pare.

My excuse? My mind was wandering for eons now, and I can't even get up the nerve to write something soul searching or not-mundane. I'm afraid sometimes of what answers I can come up with to answer all of my life's questions. So no blog-browsing, no blog-reading and just a handful of blog-writing.
