The Annihilation

now I should think that they've missed everything like I said five minutes ago when I made the incredible point also as you see I really don't need much in the way of amplification I suggest that for anybody who's giving a talk today so I was I'm here primarily because forest did me a really good turn so he helped me with a technical problem which is that I am tired of doing system administration and he did it for me and that I said well if you ever need anything and he said well would you please keynote a conference and I went ok which is interesting because my plan wasn't to do any more InfoSec conferences so the fact that I would do

that for him tells you that if there's somebody out there who needs a good turn from you do it because they'll actually go back on their principles for you later all right so name of the talk is annihilation so there's two kinds of people in the room when they deal with me right which is either you know who I am or you have no friggin clue who I am let's go for the no friggin clue who I am this is it this is your first time you've ever seen me at all hands up no okay excellent also the crowd that's very timid I like that too you have heard of me all right good smattering and then you are here

specifically because I was on the roster yeah there's two good excellent yes anyway so my name is Jason Scott I do a whole bunch of things I'm gonna go into them this keynote is primarily intended like most keynotes to kind of set a tone for the place to kind of go into what what might be talked about today but also primarily to put in a few ideas into your head that walk away there's different ways of doing these talks and so in my way of doing it I think of talks as a series of threads that is to say I give you the ends of ropes and then it's on you over the course of today tomorrow and the rest of

your life to pull it those threads those ropes to go somewhere else I don't think that a talk should be about one thing they should be inspirational if you take the amount of hours that are in this room the amount of human life I'm going to squander into the meat grinder in the next hour that's like one guy's vacation like I'm gonna wreck it and so I think that that should have some level of respect so one other bit for you because InfoSec talks are always traditionally a mixed bag never tell them you didn't prepare never tell them that you don't know what you're doing and never tell them that you're not sure if this works

just do it and people will figure it out on you because they'll check you every single time cred seems incredibly important in the InfoSec hacker cong complex so in terms of me very young kids supers got in the computers in the 1980s this is my high school yearbook photo which is interesting because for one thing it's taken by a girl that thirty years later I got engaged to but also the fact that in it you see stolen property there's actually a full pay phone on my bed along with a lineman's test set that I'm holding up along with a you know the little satanic symbol and there's there's a whole bunch of semiotic Stu read into this thing but

suffice to say I've always been interested in technology I'm not really big on boundaries and I'm really kind of into checking things out for myself also stolen highway sign to four I broke the the highway blinker that's also another yeah so anyway this is this is basically an exhibit in my felony conviction so I've done a couple of interesting technical things this is me running a cow themed Internet service provider in the 1990s which I do not recommend it will cost you thousands of dollars and you will spend a long time paying back all the people who invested in you but you do get incredibly great shots out of it when you're doing it that is a real

cow that is not a Photoshop don't do that um so I have seen some [ __ ] I have been involved in a bunch of crazy things over the course of my life this is the axle of my cars tearing into the crank box and that car never drove again and that was a very exciting time on the highway similarly I watched the kid DDR himself into the hospital this is actually somebody collapsing during a DDR game and being hauled away life's kind of interesting that way I have a cat that's on Twitter that has about 1.2 1.3 million followers named socking ttan and did that just leads to things like cinnamon toast asking if the cat can

endorse them and what's interesting you could always tell this with a marketer she addresses the cat and I think that's really important the fact that she's like socking ttan and I'm just trying to imagine this poor woman who's just trying to get through her day looking for influencers discovers that it's a cat and is literally just you know like straightening out her pleaded business skirt and kneeling down in front of this little cat on a pillow going we have we really need your eyeballs we need you to tell us about it life is ridiculous I've also done a lot of travel this is part of my hotel key card collection so I've done a number of documentaries

and I've done a number of speaking engagements over the years couple hundred and so I just kind of reached out into the weird kind of life and I'm I let the world decide when I'm going to finish all right primarily these days I'm known for the fact that I'm the free-range archivist at a place called archive.org the Internet Archive the Wayback Machine so yeah so for some people the Internet Archive is just this website you go to it or it's webbed archive.org you type that in you get the old place and this is what the building looks like and literally the deranged millionaire who founded the archive bought this building because it looked like the logo and

because of that as a result it's not designed to be what it is which is a combination workspace data center it's actually a Christian Science church that was convert that that kind of fella I don't know Church is kind of sometimes fall out of business and so they put this thing up it was a white elephant they couldn't sell it because you had to both be willing to pay millions and not change the outside and in San Francisco apparently that didn't work now be a co-working space but for now it is this the world's most inefficient meeting room and in this meeting room if you look down in the corner there's like these little things and what happens is

there's these little tiny people that are looking at these servers and these servers are in alcoves that used to have Saints and this is where when you connect to the archive this is what you're connecting into each one of those columns is 2 petabytes of data and there are a couple dozen of them scattered about the building as well as in other data centers around the world the little people are built because if you work at the archive for three years they give you a little statue because as as our boss says we don't have stock options so this is ended up you know so this little guy is me with his little wings and

that's because I'm known as the angel of death and I'll go into why that's known somewhere else so when you talk about archives this is the photo that they use which is from Indiana Jones I call it time to warehouse which is how fast can I talk about archives had the Indiana Jones warehouse shot I prefer this shot which is from Citizen Kane which is him having hoarded everything in his life going back he they end up not knowing what to do with it so I prefer this shot for it this is the actual internet archive warehouse though this is the inbox for the Internet Archive these are different things that are coming in that are being

evaluated and thrown into our shipping containers that are being stored because there's a physical aspect right so the boss is very game for fun things this whole involvement with Jurassic Park means that I can make him do things like this it also means that like he's kind of open he does one thing which I really like and which I really encourage people which is he's very cheap like he doesn't like to spend money speculatively but his attitude is if it doesn't cost us any money and you don't think it'll embarrass us go ahead let's see what comes out the other side and that has led to places he would have never expected when he hired me in 2011 the

Internet Archive had been around for you know well over 15 years and was known as the Wayback Machine and a few other things it had a Grateful Dead tape archive it had of course movies from the Prelinger collection you know these public domain movies were probably the number one source for stop drop for for sorry Duck and Cover and you know we were this little kind of interesting weird place and I had an effect on it differently right his mission was in universal access to all knowledge which was an interesting thing and it's been interesting to watch it kind of play through putting me in charge of where I am as a free-range archivist means I

just make things happen so you know the way that Kmart used to work certainly from the mid-1970s through to the 1990s and then beyond was that they would have announcements over the Kmart system that came in the form of a tape that was sent once a week and it would say this is the tape for this week and it would play on repeat all day for one week and then they throw the tapes out except this guy didn't throw the tapes out he kept all the tapes so he kept all of the tapes and he recorded them all and put them into wav files put them on YouTube YouTube rejected them for copyright vaio and I said I'll take

them and so that's how we it up with the Kmart collection attention Kmart shoppers which is a collection of two four or five our Kmart music and announcements that are on there and you're like well why why and then the thing is is that what's interesting to me is that it turns out it had a huge audience involved with it right if you look at that this is from the first week you can see there's two hundred and ninety two thousand listens of this tape and so I have no way to tell you why this took off versus not I can tell you that when Brewster founded the Internet Archive this was not on his

agenda but here it is on NPR talking about this thing happening uh there were once it hit NPR we had old employees contact us and go you know I have original reel to reels from the seventies of Kmart and so they started to send us the reel-to-reel so those are all up there and then and at the time that this started we had 1.3 million listens within a month so so Brewster just said we can't stop it go ahead and this is where we end up right and people of course are you know it immediately becomes part of the fabric of online life that people see this Kmart stuff you know one of the things is that we

are very weird when it comes to history you know history previously was a very Canon oriented thing heavily curated what we're discovering now especially in this burst of today's that we are now all content creators we are all generating an enormous amount of things through our lives in voluntarily and voluntarily and coming to terms with that I think is one of the most important parts of growing up now I am assuming this this audience I you know I always try to aim for different audiences this audience seems like it's skews both younger and older people who are both starting out and people who are just about finished and so I as a result there's two different ways to think

about it right which is that so some of this is just me trying to like grab some 20 year old by the lapel and some of this is also just commiserating with a 45 year old as we both talked about being carb so the other thing that I worked on with ARC with it where Brewster did not expect any of this to happen was a thing called the annual arity how many people here know what the emulator T is how good is my branding good one - yes fantastic I'm about to wreck your day please do not get mad at me um so here's the deal with the amulet II when Brewster hired me they have what they

now call project zero but it's essentially a hazing ritual where they give somebody a job that nobody wanted and then do it until it's either done or the person quits and what Brewster told me was you know we have movies we have music we have books we have all this other material and we work really hard to make it really easy to access that is to say if here's a book if it's a PDF if you go to the archive there's a book reader in the browser you can flip through it or you can download it similarly with music you can listen to it with movies you can watch it what about software we've been collecting a

lot of software and once I went there we started to collect a lot of software how the heck can people enjoy it because right now software is one of our most important cultural artifacts being produced it is unquestionably part of where the human spirit is being portrayed it is also of course the tool of our destruction and domination and so we don't have the ability to easily play it so with a lot of very talented people who are not me we created this thing called the annular tear which is that you see these different programs here and what you can do is boot them up in the browser instantly so if there's a zip file boom you're playing it you're

playing an ms-dos program an Amiga program you're playing all sorts of handheld games you're able to play all sorts of you know game products but also business and other products and I'm going to talk about that for a while one of the aspects of that though for instance is I've set pictures from teachers who are able to boot up educational software for kids now like the Oregon Trail on the archive gets booted up about once every seven seconds 24 hours a day and the reason why is because it never stopped being relevant and interesting as a teaching tool both for resource management and an awareness of the difficulty of history and in a school they would have one copy or one copy on

a computer they don't even own anymore and all the kids would have to circle around the one kid playing and yell at them and so now they can just boot up every computer in the lab running Oregon Trail and the kids play it at their own runs now there's a whole technical reasoning underneath that and I'm not going to go into it other than to say that we are using em scripting to compile MAME into JavaScript just live with that and know that that exists you seem terrible videos you know how terrible the world is that's happening somewhere I'm sorry but also it's compiling into web assembly in JavaScript but it also means that the MAME team and the other

emulators we work with are doing the process of emulation and we don't have to focus on it I like segmentation don't try to become something if you see somebody is doing work over here work with them to segment it out this thing is peppered with lessons segmenting out the thing instead of trying to reinvent what they're doing in your own crappy way and then not maintain it so here's what that world is like you look at our system you see a little item up there you press the little play button suddenly you're playing that software game first we put up console games we put up thousands of console games Bally arcade Bally Astro Cade I mean it's one

thing to put up Sonic the Hedgehog it's another one to put up the Fairchild channel F which is one of the first cartridge based games and being able to play it immediately you can assess whether it's worth your time but being able to assess it immediately was important to me because games sell themselves as soon as we put up 900 arcade machines we ended up getting into you know the verge and TechCrunch and here it is a question on @midnight and here's Fox talking about how it's played but it also enables you to play an entire range of history that otherwise wouldn't have that ability to make the hump we're always gonna have pac-man don't worry about pac-man

Mario's history is assured when the aliens come to view the wreckage of the earth there will be grey dust everywhere and one black obsidian statue of Mary oh don't worry they're gonna know how important he was to us both as a God and a savior but it's stuff like this these benchmark programs that were written for the 486 that run and enable you to get the early benchmarking software that you can run in this browser I love this one because this is a system evaluation program it thinks it's inside a 486 running at this speed this is a machine that doesn't exist and I like this because I feel like the architect in the matrix where

the program boots up and I'm like your first question while most pertinent well while most pressing is the least pertinent and it's just like how's the system doing and it's oh it's doing just fine you are in a box that doesn't exist inside of another box inside of a browser inside of a machine connected to a network of thousands and millions of other machines and it's like awesome so the 486 is right yes yes you're fine here's a baby pregnancy program that lets you evaluate using your 486 how your pregnancy is going here's a program that's an old RPG and you can see how they've hand made the shadows underneath all of the things to give it a sense of

dimensionality here's a boot program to tell you it didn't boot so you know all of these obscure weird programs live again and of course you could make doom run in the browser and anything that has a browser can run it so even if it's a New York on the street machine that's supposed to be used for making emergency calls it also plays doom along with wrecking cellphone stores and of course bringing up only the best at the best buy you know you're able to like make history be a part of our world again this leads me to the problem of now there's a whole bunch of software that's sitting on small plastic pieces from the last 70 or 80 iterations

of dog years you know basically since since the last couple of decades where it feels like we had all of this history and it's gone so now all i care about is ingesting as absolute large amounts of physical software into the matrix as fast as possible just bringing in anything people give me on any magnetic media format it's handing it over to me turning them into cds imaging them this is the full collection sent to me by the CEO of walnut creek cd-rom which is for some people meaningful for others just just just go with it walnut creek cd-rom owned cd-rom calm they were the largest ones and i call and at one point when it

became known that i was putting up all this software the CEO contacted me and said do you want all my stuff and i said sure and i had to go and get it from his garage and we're loading it into the van and he's like my wife told me they were i told my wife this was gonna be useful someday so to him he gave it to a museum and it was just sitting around so all of these are up on the archive tens of thousands of cd-rom iso's these are a Oh LCDs that I have been imaging and putting up I like it because it strikes to the emotional feeling of AOL people are very

emotionally angry about AOL CDs being given this kind of treatment but a Oh LCDs were half of all CD ROMs ever produced and so I really think it's good to get the as of this moment known 5,000 variations of AOL CDs that were put out I mean maybe but these are all other things that are given to me just constant ingestion of CD ROMs shareware this world is gone right this world is gone we don't distribute on physical media with a few exceptions but the vast majority of things are on streaming services are instant updates that's an entire other nightmare but I'll deal with that later I was given thousands of educational software programs this is a clipart

collection and again these are all shareware CDs they used to do this for the people who are younger they would give you a cd-rom it was called shovel where they would put as much stuff on it as possible and in doing so they pulled from all sorts of obscure online and offline sources to be able to sell them to you so when doing so they unwittingly become the hallmark for understanding all this old computer history and over time hopefully they will be valuable this was not on Brewster's agenda when he started up but here we are and you're like well how much is there well here's two crates and I like this because it people see this and they're like oh

that's nice two crates of software and I'm like yeah but it's bigger than you're looking at and I have 20 of these in a warehouse including the entire floppy collection of the National Institute for Standards and Technology because they were like we're not gonna keep it and I said I'll take them so I got thousands of seat of thousands of floppy discs cd-roms from them and everywhere else and it becomes this it just becomes a big file folder endlessly these are a whole bunch of Apple to floppies that I have and they all come and they all live again the thing that I'm going to die knowing being known for is a thing called archive team an archive team was what

got me hired at the Internet Archive how many people here know of archive team okay Wow that makes it even more saucy so here's the problem we have decided to put all of our culture all of our institutions all of our humanity online with a completely open question as to what happens next we made it a big fun experiment we did it and suddenly everything's online and we don't know how this little pony and dog show is gonna end one way it ends is random shutdowns randomly companies that did not even think of themselves as entrusted with the mantle of humanities output and the only copies of baby photos bans information a political action and everything else they

discovered that it was time to shut down and they would just shut it down in areas ranging from we did it yesterday to we'll do it in a few months over and over and over again and I didn't even have to prepare for this talk to come up with things that would be within the last bit of time the myspace shut down shut down sorry the myspace mistake which we really don't believe is a mistake but led to massive amounts of swaths of history disappearing what got me angry was geo cities was shutting down in 2009 it was being done in a very ham-fisted manner and I said there should be an a team that comes in and

makes a duplicate of the site before it goes away just so we have a record you know just run through and just take photos just run through and download the data and it was called archive team we are gonna rescue your [ __ ] I guess I should have done a profanity warning but you'll get over it these are all sites that are just completely gone just completely just decided to announce that they're gonna go away and then they're gone now obviously there are sites here where you're like good how nice but I would turn that on you and say that's basically the argue of most gentrification right which is what that whatever is there now is dirty and

worthless and old and terrible wipe it out make it new plug in a Starbucks plug in to Chipotle we're gonna rock this place and the thing is is that over time history vital history and culture gets lost so there was culture that lived on all of these different sites and then it was gone except of course the archive team took a copy and put it up on the archive there is this weird situation right now where they're both aware of the problem and they don't really kind of want to deal with it you know we have a lot of those things in our life right now politically and otherwise we're like there's a problem huh and that's it it's

just one dot and they don't even get the step one so we came up with and distributed preservation of service attack which was basically to set up these servers that are called archive team warriors and you boot them up in a virtual system somewhere on your server or one you have access to and then everybody shares together and just downloads off of a site very quickly when we first started this process way back when in 2009 it took us nine months to download the 1.2 terabytes of Geocities we now and this number is off but we are pushing between well okay so right now we're backing up Google+ and that's working out to about 30 terabytes

a day so we're in the process of trying to download Google+ and you go well why and I'm like well because community believe it or not flourished under Google Plus and they're gonna be wiped out completely and there'll be no record of them so we're doing it and we'll figure it out later because the hardest part of history is to be there when it happens so be there and find it and do it we have pipelines that are pushing incredible amounts of data it's a very fun there's a couple hundred people involved these days very fun volunteer group that gives you the chance to do something meaningful so for many of them this is the meaningful thing they do

that doesn't make them any money and it is a lot of data we have a leader board so grabbing things as fast as possible we still have the problem of other things disappearing so here's how I ended up renting an abandoned coffee shop in a mall and filling it with boxes because that's normal so this was manuals plus one of the largest collections of manuals in the world and word came down that they were going to close and they were going to throw all this out and so I drove down the next day to Maryland to meet the guy who was running it and this is a lot of manuals here's the guy who was running it and he

was like yep just gonna close it down and I had a lot of people who are like what are we gonna do a lot of hand-wringing and so I happen to think these manuals are objectively beautiful they are for testing equipment going back to World War 2 up through about the 1990s it is an incredible amount of stuff and they were about to just toss it all and I just think that if we don't this is back when they okay so for the younger people we used to write manuals and that was actually considered as engineering important as the engineering itself because it was considered to be a way to state out on paper the stated

goals and theories behind the equipment so that a person who interacted with it could both benefit from the knowledge gained as well as be able to understand the true function of what they were doing we don't do that anymore um we now write manuals because we're ashamed and we don't we think that a help file is the same as a manual it used to be awesome I'm sorry anyway you could see evidence of it here and what I did was I put a call out and the next week on Friday I put the call out I got a five thousand dollar donation from from a from an anonymous person bought a lot of banker boxes and brought in dozens

and dozens of volunteers who went through and personally D duped the entire place figuring out what was unique building boxes by crazy amounts and these were people who just showed up and hauling out boxes until it was a lot of boxes and then we hired movers who were more than happy in quotes to do this work what really stuns me is I found out this guy is my age and there's a picture of us together and we look he looks like my dad and I'm like oh man I had a great life resulting in 1,600 banker boxes and then this is all the stuff that's that that was thrown out because it was you know

deduplicated sometimes it'd be ten copies of a manual sometimes it would be one and they were super careful about it and it took three days to go through it until we finally got through as much of it as we could and we gave flowers to the people who were there gave them champagne and thanked them and then shoved it into a coffeehouse that I was able to rent for a hundred bucks a month while then eventually sending it to California so as a result I am one of the ten largest collectors of manuals in the world I did not know that was gonna be the case and the plan is to digitize a thing happened and so for you guys new

gals here in the InfoSec world there's a lesson here which is and I mean objectively I want to know this how many people think this was a good act a good act perhaps and how many people are like I have no personal opinion on this whatsoever this was nice to watch this was like watching a ferris wheel being disassembled it was neat I don't have any opinion all right and how many people think that this was not a good thing or probably was ill-advised or could have been better energy and I see that there were 25 percent abstain I'll figure that out later so it made it made the it made the press introducing the archive core about

amateurs coming in to do the assessment of a at risk collection this produced a URL about the story that meant I could search for the URL on Google that means I found all of the sub tweets so people are responding to it but of course they're not minute I wouldn't have seen these right otherwise I wouldn't have seen these discussions and I see people you know kind of like am I reading this right like that doesn't seem very positive I thought it was positive all the way down I'm like ah Jesus like okay I was like wasn't like what and it's interesting right because you know the world of Twitter has caused an incredible amount of brain activity

to become recorded like we as human beings are very randomized beings right like we get weird urges and responses and thoughts and then over time over the course of a day we figure out that like maybe one or two of them works like super legit and Twitter has temporarily taken that away a lot of random brain activity but this was interesting I'll mine it while it still exists and I'm like why what's going on because this this this person is a professional a professional hates this and so here the Society of American archivists link to the article and then here's a person saying why would you promote this and it was liked by all these people and

they're all professional archivists and librarians what do I come in - what's my world so so the thing is so so so here was okay so the functional reason that this existed was because there was a thread among archivists as to whether or not I me populist archiver is a good or a bad thing and there is a party that says that I'm great and there is a party that says that I am awful along with a very strong opinion about that and that's because the library world the archive the professional archives world is a marbled steak of heroes and Sally bags and brilliance and job security orientation like everywhere else and if I work to

get their approval I'll never get a hundred percent approval the person that mattered to me in terms of this opinion was me knowing that if this motion hadn't been done that room would be empty and even though it wasn't done by professionals it was going to be done because I felt that it had to be done it was a sense of duty and mission not based on popularity and the event the world that you're in right now so I don't speak at these kind of conventions anymore and the reason why I don't is because it is all very repetitive to me because it's a kind of world where there's this weird mythical lore that if you are enough of a

criminal you will get a job and there's also this kind of strange kind of approach to one-upmanship and neg throwing at a time that people don't need that you know someone tries very hard and someone's like you missed a spot I don't like you very much and some people you know and of course in some ways it's intended to wash people out who aren't good enough for it but it means that a lot of voices get silenced and a lot of information gets lost because people who are full of joy slowly find themselves out and I've never quite figured out solution for that and I figure I'll focus elsewhere so I was at hacker conventions probably from the late 1990s

up through like the early 2010's and I had a great time even though I don't drink and I wouldn't trade it for anything but I just got tired of everything being turned into a business first and a vocational experience that you found fun second and I just I just I just never walked away from it so in terms of libraries and archives it's all there to this weird zero-sum game the action of doing one thing means you're not doing another and it will eventually make you miserable I tried to figure out why they're angry and I think part of it is that a lot of people don't have the freedom I do Brewster has no idea what I

am so he just said do what you do get some attention and oh my god if I got an attention for him we have the one of the largest collections of hip-hop mixtapes we have one of the largest collections of Kmart tapes or the largest collection and then every once in a while somebody will tell me about a collection out there and I will put up like I just did 700 Commodore 64 cassette tapes and people will people will ingest it or not ingest it but Brewster's like whatever not everyone has that ability so when they see somebody run free they get very angry and I think that if you're in here this is for the Greybeards if you're in a

managerial position trust your people implicitly because they wouldn't be working for you especially in a field that's difficult like this one if they didn't believe in what they do and if they didn't think that they had a voice and working to squish their voice to make sure that they fall in line means you walk away from incredible opportunities to learn and and find out and and you will find these diamonds in the rough I see them in the archive team every day where I just go what are you our best archiver right now is a Netherlands college student who is has no archiving degree or knowledge but can't tear himself away from the joy of rescuing dying

communities he's found this new vocation he's still getting his degree in something I don't care about and I have completely forgotten what it is I care about it so little I don't remember it but he's so inspired and it's such a young age that he'll carry with that for the rest of his life so so we're right now at about nine forty one I'm probably not gonna do questions but I will talk about one last thing which is a little bit of a downer but I think is very very important it's mostly to the young people but the old ones right so I'm fine I'm doing fine you don't dress like this if you're not doing fine I'm doing

fine I'm very happy I live with someone I love I work on things that I love I wake up every day and every day is a panoply of bizarre horseshit every single day I get mailed I got mail last night from a guy who is a tens of in air because he couldn't believe his Apple to stuff is up and we are both discussing how do we approach the meth-dealing biker who is 70 years old who has all of his old Apple 2 material in a way that will work out for us that is interesting I'm doing great there is this mythology right now as we're going through this world right as we're leading all these young people into this

technical world and it is a very very sweet beautiful song that everything about technology is interesting and fun and people who are given the opportunity do incredibly well with no downtime and not only that they express it online all the time it is a very performative phase in our world right now and I I see this vision of clean beautiful rooms devoid of character with kind of a synthetic we're all working together and it's fun like college never ended level and and it's this really total thing and it's partially a fantastic lie that kind of belies the difficulty of life as we know it right so this is the saddest slide I have each one of these is a tweet that

was that the person tweeted before they killed themselves and the reason why I bring this kind of bummer up is because there's a lot of people who are young who suffer because they see the template of the performative world were in now especially now where we have people who just every day to tweet and blog about how great everything is and if they feel in their hearts that they're falling short of what they expect it multiplies and they might not even know to reach out to get that and you might feel that here in a world where you're I mean I know I know this region of the country right this is where March comes in like a lion and goes out like a

angry or [ __ ] lion right you spend a lot of time indoors you spend a lot of time without vitamin D and it can really affect you emotionally no matter where you are and I tell those people please don't think it's you like it's not you this is a very weird world I have a lot of sadness in my life and I have a lot of problems that have come in gone out not every day is fantastic not every day is a glorious thing I enjoy it but it's not you it's not you just wanted to say that you can reach me anytime on text files on Twitter I'm Jason at text files my DMS are open I have a guy who mails
