Phew, im happy I live in the 21rst century! Life SEEMS easier. But then again, could our life be harder than theirs? Its hard to determine if so... because when you think abut it, the early men had to hunt for their food and put their lives in danger. But then again, With all this technology, are we COMPLICATING our lives? I dont know;

Im tired, im going to eat some cotton candy.

CHEERS, DAk
