LETTER FROM THE EDITOR.
2008-01-11 05:08:00
The devil is a lie! Guess what happened to me tonight, community. So i'm back at school from Christmas break, and i get unloaded and what not.Then, i use the restroom, and my toilet flushes with an extra-heavy flow, but i didn't think much about it, and left with my frat brother for a Wal-Mart run. When we get back, half of my hall is flooded in water, and i go into my room and water is shooting from all sides of my toilet. Talk about pissed! Now, i was in the process of changing dorms, but moving is on hold until tomorrow. I'm tired, and it's late. I expect it to be another hour before housecleaning finishes extracting the water from all 5 rooms that flooded. Y'all should see me hudled up in a corner of my room, reading my Bible, and trying to calm down. lol. It turns out that the problem was internal [not something i did, so act up if you want to business office!], and was bound to happen. Whew. I love my life. I'll be updating as soon as this mess is straighte...

I figured that J was happy with the "title" and the success of the artists that he has signed. Rumor has it that his departure is due to financial demands not being met. However, J will still remain on the label [as an artist]. I felt that he did a good job, and I am sure that he will succeed at whatever "challenges" he is about to pursue.
