Gerardo's favorite quotes opinion on.... On Money: "Only boys who save their pennies make my rainy day"
On Health: "My doctor says I need a backyotomy"
On His Lawyer: "He had sex with my momma!"
On Cologne "My favorite is Calvin Klein's 8th-grade Dance."
On Love: "You will be mine, like my dog, or my horse, or my falcon, except that I shall love you more - and trust you less."
On Love (once again): "They laugh, they make money. He's got a gold watch. She's got a silk dress and healthy breasts that bounce on his Italian leather sofa"
On Love (twice again): "It's hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzed."
On Love (thrice again): "But when you speak to her, Her eyes light up. The music spills right into your cup. It's so abrupt and it's so concise. There are pies on a carousel. Have a slice."
On Sex: "Look, I know it's been awhile, right? But uhh I'm not going to get "humped" by a giant red gorilla in space, OK? No, thank you."
On His Birthplace: "I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus... Rollin' down highway 41."
On Crime: "Kill them all and let god sort 'em out"
On Politics: "Kill them all and let god sort 'em out"
On Animal Rights: "Kill them all and let god sort 'em out"
On Religion: "If you are feeling sinister, go off and see a minister, he'll try in vain to take away the pain of being a hopeless unbeliever."
On Religion (once again): "Jesus wrote a blank check... one I haven't cashed quite yet."
On His Enemies: "The city that he builds shall bear my name, the woman that he loves shall bear my child. So let it be written, so let it be done."
On Death: "Solo al rico le asusta la muerte, a dejar su fortuna para otro."
On His Tombstone: "My name is Cliff. Brother of Joe. I got me some crack. I want me some HOES!"
On Television: "When I turn on my TV, nothing but pornography. No more rated "G" in a perfect world"
On His Free Time: "If I had my way, I'd never work. I'd just stay home all day, watch Scarface 50 times, eat a turkey sandwich, and have sex all f*cking day. Then I'd dress up like a clown, and surprise kids at schools. Then I'd take a dump in the back of a movie theater, and just wait until somebody sat in it. Hear it squish. That's funny to me. Then I'd paint, and read, and play violin. I'd climb the mountains, and sing the songs that I like to sing. But I don't got that kinda time."

Who I'd like to meet:
Secondhand Smoke Linked To Secondhand Coolness
Americans have known for years that smoking is a direct cause of coolness. But a recent study funded by R.J. Reynolds, Philip Morris and several other cigarette conglomerates proves conclusively that the cool effects of smoking are not limited to the smoker.
According to the study, secondhand smoke is a leading cause of coolness, and is only slightly less cool than actual smoking.
lol. i know what you mean. My dad said to move where ever makes me happy but also has work. My mom said I have to live near family so the kids have their grandparents. She basically ordered me to move back to cali or she would follow me wherever I went.
ok TN sucked way bad the whole family hated it an the place where we lived was slowly following apart after 2-3 weeks we moved back so now i am in Carmichael.
After reading your blog i see you have also been screwed by a health-care company. There goes 17billion anyways, if you have not got a job yet i know you will your a hard worker. We should get some jimboys one of these days when i have $$$ peace mang
Oh yeah hey, my boyfriend re-submit his application again,... his cousin got hired on a few months ago with HealthNet, and I think his wife works there to now. Lol, his family is taking over! Did you go to the 4th of July parade in Lincoln? There was a Mexican section that was longer than the parade! LOL!
step 1. take the drive out then put it back in. Step 2. Delete the drivers then restart Step 3. Get a better dvd program that one sucks Step 4. THere is a way in the register to tweak the drive when it stops responding like that google it. Step 5. Buy a new burner there dirt cheap www.newegg.com look for free shipping. Step 6. Clean the drive inside and out or change the wire that connects to it, sometimes cable go bad.
