Time to Rock Out
Even though I’m a bit strapped for cash till my full paycheck comes in, it was important to fulfill my dream of becoming a rock star. To that end, I picked up a nice guitar at the weird surplus store / pawn shop thingy that Mike pointed out to me, before someone else discovered [...]
