Alert the media! iwilldare.com is 6 years old today

I just did a little bit of googling to see if I couldn’t find anything anything exciting that happened on July 31st. Apparently this is not a very exciting day, probably because it’s too damn hot to do anything. Some of the Historical Happenings that I found included: 1975 Jimmy Hoffa Disappears 2000 Be With [...]

sometimes you cannot deny the existence of five

five years ago tonight, iwilldare.com blinked into existence. oddly enough, the first post quotes a replacements’ lyric. or at least i always identify it as a replacements’ lyric. i started iwilldare.com because my friend orangetim, whom i ‘met’ through a soul coughing newsgroup, told me it was cool. sadly, i think tim has given up [...]
