The 3rd Annual BWAP Awards

So, I have decided to start blogging again. For those of you who remember me: hi. For those who don't (the 99.99999999999999% of the internet that is) then hi, my name is Lee, and I like to talk about things. That's it. Moving right along

In addition to talking about things, I also like to talk about stuff. Movies, music, science, technology, gaming, philosophy... many fingers in many pies, you get the idea.
