Halo My Fren,
I am pleased you have listed this post, but saddened and disturbed you have ignored earlier posts of critical importance such as Western efforts to steal Indonesia’s UFO technology and “how to pick up babes in Jakarta Malls.” I am but a humble Ukuele player and poet, but it would be nice if my 15 minutes (15 seconds ??) of internet fame was on something important: like the rise of Indonesia’s neo-Mojopahit empire.
I thank you friend. Now I wish to play my Ukuele all night long.
Merdeka ! (Freedom).
