I don't care about ratings (I put almost no thought into how I rate things and I put even less thought into how YOU rate things) and the only records I collect anymore are from a very small group of personal favorites. The only reason I'm here is because I like to write reviews. It's a hobby. It keeps me off the streets. If I didn't write reviews, I'd probably be in a gang. I'd have a neck tattoo and knife scars. I'd have to beat guys from rival gangs with a baseball bat just because I saw them on my side of town. I like to think that my weapon of choice would be a chain, but, still, it's no way to live. And would I be expected to wear a bandana on my head? That's not a good look for me.
