However, I must say, I think you ought to have considered what you were getting into before dedicating this page to Matthew. I realize your life comes first, but I don't think this is fair to your friend's memory to never make any time to update whenever you started this stating it would be done in "real time" on your "about" page. I know what it's like, I'm in college as well, and I also know that no matter how much course work you have, you still have enough free time to type up an entry the length of Matthews. I guess all I'm saying is, perhaps it's better to stick to your guns than to be wishy-washy about things like this. You ought to decide, do you want to be reasonably regular with posting or do you really just not have the time? And if the latter is the case then you should simply stop doing this site because this is not something you do half-baked. I don't know, maybe I'm just some judgemental prick who is generalizing your life too much. All I know is, if I died, and I asked a friend to post my entries online, I'd like it if he actually did or just didn't at all. Please, think about it. Sincerely, Brandon John,
