I'm not sure if I've said this before or not, but I'm going to ask anyway: what is it about the number 3? Is it really a 'magic' number? I wonder.

My walks are my time to escape the world, with no other distractions, and no one else around, and not having anything else I have to do, I like to escape the world and within my mind conjure up all kinds of chaos and mayhem, while something like NIN or Godsmack or Tool is blasting away, so I can play out my fantasies ...
