Someday I'm going to learn how to keep my resolutions.
Dateline: Kowlwoon, Tsim Shau Sui, Hong Kong SAR. Rumors of Skippy’s demise are greatly exaggerated, although from the feeling in my head right now, the issue may still be in doubt. I swore to my self when I went out last night, that I was not going anywhere near Wanchai.
