"Why is it so dark in here? Can I get a light please!" I yelled through the 4 inch steel door. No light. "I said please! I know there are a few of you out there! I know you can here me!" No response "How am I supposed to read Gulliver Travels  without a light?, Huh?"

So how are the wife and kids? Is little Ryan out of his emo phase yet? He just seems he had an emo phase, because you never told me about him." Man what a nice guy such a great listener! I think he was the one who branded the zero on my arm.  Apparently it mean I'm going coocoo for coco puffs. And it hurt like hell! I'm all like what da heck man? You guys got me right?
