I write this under great duress. The tyranny of allergies has tightened its iron grip around me - my skull mostly -– and I do not know how much longer I will last. To be quite honest, I am not even sure this letter will find you. Dramatics aside, I feel like utter shit. I get really bad allergies, and today I've got them bad. One time I even got a shot of steroids in the ass to combat a sneezing fit I had. Sneezing fit. Geez, I sound like I'm Macaulay Culkin in [...]
