Great Day

Day in the life part 2

Today heather and I ate lunch at a strip club, celebrated with my dad, and drove through a crime scene in the hood of New Haven. Monte had a tick on his head. The greenhouse was so bright and blue. The crime scene in New Haven was a caution wrapped area with cops and News Channel 3.

The colors of the rainbow

4 Weeks of school left and we need to live every day to the fullest. Only the creamiest of the crop.
I feel great right now. I feel like writing enchanting thoughts, saving the world, and spreading peace.

I told my hair dresser his hair dye was like tooth paste because its invigorating tingle made my headache go away. Laurangelo!

How do I use a book? The laundry basket was on fire. Im on the floor because my ear is on fire and im coolin it off. Everytime I hear a noise I flare a nostril. Different feelings about different worlds.

Loving presence, deepnens "Im channeling my inner gangster" why is my phone wet everything is wet.

you have people send in friends and family to get them to be on a reality TV show and people that get on the show dont know they are being watched. SO then it really is reality TV.

Magnetic People

Are people like magnets? Do people have a magnetic attraction towards each other? I think there can be a strong force that brings two people together. No matter how many times they try to hide it, there is something that will remain between them...this uncontrollable force that keeps bringing them back to each other despite third party assistance.
