Also, "Who's Next" is one of my favorite records of all time. You will love the song "Goin' Mobile." <BR/><BR/>Glad to hear you are discovering uncharted musical territories and enjoying yourself!<BR/><BR/>Until I text you randomly...Michael Serrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15836221783186958186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563074403774335211.post-85677614362922774202008-01-19T11:09:00.000-05:002008-01-19T11:09:00.000-05:00Ben,<BR/><BR/>get better soon so you can melt faces.<BR/><BR/>- MichaelMichael Serrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15836221783186958186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-563074403774335211.post-39711056479582252332008-01-13T19:40:00.000-05:002008-01-13T19:40:00.000-05:00Ben,<BR/><BR/>I'm making a request that you spend a little bit less time being involved with real life, and reserve some quality time with your blog.
