I had mixed feelings after ppl started to actually use this board o'mine. After following all the banter on here and SF days, for half a second I said, god Im so sick of Chris Isaak! But I cant let this get to me....all the banter is quite sickening, and it kinda takes the 'fun' outta this, which was what I wanted it to be PURE fun..and all the negativity kinda starts to take a toll and make you think, what the fuck? This whole thing is freaking stupid, its like CI overload, kinda like when a friend spends the nite for 4 days, and you wanna kick her stupid ass cuz your so sick of her! But I wont let this get to me eiether, I'll try to keep it positive and attract the crowd and talk that I was hoping for in the first place, and enjoy Chris for what he is to me, fascinating, gorgeous and his amazing music.
