   About Christopher Lockett
Most of the music I like was lucky to make it off of someone's front porch. ******** My music isn't much different.

All I can say is thank god hes no longer got the red shiny button in his office desk drawer. That gives me comfort to no end. I still think speech patterns you suggest are far to eloquent for that link in the chain of de-evolution. Personally I think it would be more like a series of monosyllabic grunts and moans possibly even followed by the flinging of excrement and baby eating.

Shit yeah man! Happy B-Day to you! When do you start to feel old? 35 and I still feel like twentysomething... and I agree, things could be a lot worse! to quote MB from American Movie: "Life is kinda cool sometimes.

Well, let me be the last to comment on your Myspace page while you're still in your 30's. It's been a decade full of lots creative exploration and personal growth. You made feature films, tv shows, music, photography, and had a lot of travels. You've also enjoyed exotic and domestic cuisine, spirits and had a lot of laugh with that along the way. I'm glad I could be there to enjoy some of those moments with you and I look forward to more.
Cheers and happy day before birthday! Yo what?!
