You're holding me down, you're turning me 'round, you're filling me up with your rules.

After some serious editing for the sake of all potential readers, I have opened The Youth and Beauty Brigade to the public. Please, feel free to bask in the glow of mediocrity.

Maybe this will pressure me into writing better and more often.

I need a lasting theme for this blog, but that never seems to work for me. Call me a commit-o-phobe, but I disagree. Maybe that's because I'm a jack-of-all-trades, or a jack-of-no-trades, or because I told J earlier that I feel people constantly misuse "-phobia" with no real understanding of what it really means - sort of like "ironic," or "migraine," or possibly even "love," if you want to get into the really scary stuff.

Either way, I am open to all suggestions. That does not mean I will act on them, because, apart from being afraid of commitment, I am also incredibly stubborn.

Enjoy.

END.
