The Brand Blog!!

Hi!!

Welcome to Total Recall....that's a very silly sounding name for a blog, so is the link "brand it like it is", but the blog name will stay as a reminder to not start a new blog at midnight when the brain cells are almost shut down, and the link, I cant do much about, for most of the link names I could think of, seem to be already taken!!
