From 2005 to 2007, I kept an online blog on MSN. Recently the blog has been taken down, but I've kept the memories. I have memories of when I was breeding chihuahua dogs for show purposes, and going to Hollywood to meet INXS at a taping of Rockstar: INXS. I also jotted down random thoughts I had every once in a while. It was a rough life, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Here you can read about those memories, in full detail including flashback paragraphs outlining what I was thinking as I wrote each entry.
