Hey there I hope everything's all right.

I'm feeling nostalgic. The song reminds me of Singapore. It's funny. I had not heard it for a couple of years until it cropped up my pandora.com playlist a few weeks ago. It reminds me of the time when my term in the army was just ending, and Michelle and I had just broken up. It's amazing how fast time flies. It still seems like yesterday when I was still in Singapore, just fresh out of the army. Things have turned out very differently from the way I had envisioned it. I've been in Auburn for two years now. I still cannot say I feel I belong here. I cannot find my direction in this place where everything is familiar and alien at the same time. I miss where I came from, but that place does not exist anymore.

I am lost. There is an intense feeling of disillusion and despair in me. I cannot look towards the future anymore because doing so had always resulted in disappointment.

While everything has moved on, I find myself stuck in a time 2 years ago.

Where are you at? I've been looking for you but you are nowhere to be found. Find me. Save me before I pass beyond event horizon.

DO NOT PATRONIZE MASTER'S PAINT AND BODY SHOP!!!

If you are from Auburn, BE SURE TO READ THIS!

DO NOT PATRONIZE MASTER'S PAINT AND BODY SHOP!!!

The owner's name is Mike and he is one of the biggest mother fuckers I've ever met. He will promise a lot and like all mother fuckers deliver nothing and he will stand on his holy "i've been doing this for 16 years" pedestral treat you like shit.

Also, he will die from the heart surgery that he has scheduled in the near future, his wife will fuck the priest at the funeral and his son will be a faggot.

He will also go to gay heaven.

This has been a public service announcement brought to you by the Righteous Hand of Vengance.

I hope his wife get's herpes from that priest and his son will shag a camel on the internet.

Wait... that's already happened.
