Hi there Positive Mental Trip first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people you can click the link below to visit our profile which wlil provide you with more information and also give you the link to our website! I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
What's up with you, bro? Still dragging your g/f through the proverbial, psychological barbed wire? Hey, tell Richard his mailbox is full. WHY CAN'T HE SEE THIS??? Ok, don't tell him that last part. It's kinda racist to blind people. Dude can ride a 4 wheeler but can't clean out his damn mailbox???? AHHHHH, don't tell him that either. Man, I just can't keep my big mouth shut today, can I?????
