BLOGPOST UPDATE IN PROGRESS

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 850 & BENKYO RADIO 850. Somewhere around the country, a very lucky guy is driving the SSG #27, “Pure 850 GTR.” He must be very happy. After over 850 blogposts, you’d think I’d generate enough income for my very own GT-R, don’t you think? This is why I need my application at Twitter to be approved, so that I can have a subscription service. If even a few people who subscribe at $5/month out of my 1,500 subscribers, maybe someday I could own a supercar.

Until Next Time!
