Hello, I am Captain Obvious. I run this tight Ship Of Crappy Writing, and you better settle back & relax, because BOY! What an Adventure We will Have! We've already traveled through the Straits of Sorrowful Postponement, and navigated the murky fog of Chapter 3, even as the tides of Extreme Urgency combined to create a maelstrom with the Hurricane of Shot Credibility...and Now the biggest storm is on the horizon yet...the heartbreak of Filing a Crappy-but-done-but-Crappy dissertation...I hope you brought your dramamine.

You when you are being your most embarrassing childish undisciplined and irrational self. You when you laugh so hard you pee. You when you sob and forget how to breathe. You when you first wake up and for a moment remember only breath.
