or they delete my account; I believe a records of the past should be kept. &lt;br&gt;Maybe later on in life if I'm famous, people will stumble across this, and get to know me a little deeper.&lt;br&gt;That's a little scary; but fat chance anyway.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8pt;"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 8pt;"&gt;If you are really interested in my work and you want to continue keeping up with me, the following link is for you,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
