Oh good, you made it to the bottom of the page

Go impersonate the villain of your choice.

Here's one way to do it.

Oh good, you made it to the bottom of the page

Go build a website for an entity you wish existed.

Learn how here!

Oh good, you made it to the bottom of the page

Do Something.

Oh good, you made it to the bottom of the page

Dress up as zombies and take over your city.
