You're probably wondering what this section is. I don't blame you. Short and sweet. Manny evokes so many different feelings from me on any given day - from anger, to adoration, to grand-canyon deep pontifications. It usually can sit quietly in my head for some time without disturbing the function of my brain cavity, but not until I write it down can it actually make sense.

Most use various posting boards to purge these thoughts and rid their consciousness of any confusion and distraction. So while some may see this page as a way for my own ego to be blown up beyond recognition, in actuality, I'm simply sharing my viewpoints with others who may or may not agree. You don't have to read them, but they're here if you've exhausted every other interesting site on the web.
