THE MASTER CREATOR FROOZ HERSELF (COOKER OF DELIGHTFUL FOODS, SUPPLIER OF PARENTALLY-BIASED PRAISE, LIBERATOR OF EARLY ADULTHOOD CONFUSION) WAS IN TOWN FOR A BIT, FOLLOWED BY A TIMELY VISIT TO THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC. IT WAS A PLEASANT TRIP. NOW THAT I&#8217;M BACK THOUGH, HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOME MOMENTUM GOING AGAIN. AND BY &#8216;WE&#8217; I&#8217;M NOT JUST USING A SNEAKY LITERARY DEVICE TO MAKE YOU THE VIEWER FEEL MORE ENGAGED. I MEAN &#8216;WE&#8217; AS IN &#8216;US&#8217; MAN. THAT&#8217;S RIGHT. STAND UP, START SLOW CLAPPING AT YOUR SCREEN AND GET EXCITED DAMMIT. WE&#8217;RE GONNA RIDE THAT FUCKING RAINBOW BABY. JUST ME AND YOU. ALL THE FUCKING WAY. P.S.
