The US Government Does Not Allow Us to Receive Money From the North At This Time

When I was an exchange student I was able to get free hosting from a friend (thank you Michael) and for the last year I was able to get free hosting from another friend (thank you Ben). But that year has now passed, which means I needed to find my own hosting. The basic accounts are still cheap, and now I get 10 gigs of storage and 300 gigs of transfer; per month. I'm sold.

However, I had the hardest time getting the hosting. My credit card was rejected. My bank account was rejected. I e-mailed the hosting group and got the default e-mail; 'double check you put in the info correctly,' 'contact your bank;' nothing really helpful.

Then I saw a large box in the middle of the message; "We are unable to process transactions originating from the following countries...North Korea." Awesome, I get lumped into the same group as Iran and Syria~ >_<

Drat, you caught me. I do live within a couple hundred miles of the most heavily armed border in the world...but I live on the southern side of it. Ah well, who said Americans were good with geography?

I might as well start using some of my space.
Here is a Cherry Filter song off of their new album (punk pop).
And here is a song from Kim Younah from Jaurim (sounds eastern European).
