An honest politician.
From the best show EVER... "How would I describe myself? Three words: hard working, alpha male, jackhammer…merciless…insatiable…", I never let anyone walk behind me, 7 out of 10 attacks are from the rear.I'm not gonna lie. I like guns. People say "Guns kill people" when in fact the hole left by the bullet kills people. I own many guns. My ultimate passion is swords. A true swordsman can deflect bullets. It's also the silent killer. Nothing allows you to sneak up on your victim and surprise him with death better than the Katana. I own 37 to be exact. "
So, I'm thinking "The Corrector" super-hero guy should have a Myspace page... and he should go all over the site fixing people's grammar. How 'bout it?
I thought I would stop in and say "Hi". I miss you guys! I hope everything is going well for you guys. Give my love to Sammy. I can't wait to see you guys again talk to you guys soon!
Of Course you have the flea market video on here! Why wouldn't you. Maybe you should put that guy on your who I'd like to meet list. Ya know I think they have flea markets in east ridge. Could be the inspiration for another song. -r
