Happyo Completed on December 4, 1998 Ah, my whiteboy afro was in full-swing at this time. It was late in my study abroad trip, and we were asked to give a number of speeches at various schools in the area. I still can't believe how little nervousness I had when I would speak in front of all them. I've come to accept the fact that it was probably all the karaoke I did over there that helped me to get over my fear of public speaking. Seriously, when you're in a room screaming your head off while piss drunk, it kinda does something to you, I think.
