The present, is well out of hand.

About Me

I tell all my friends that I'm voting for Obama, but secretly I'm going to vote for McCain. Even more secretly, I'm lying because I never vote.
It would take too long to list all the movies I've seen. I'd like permission to land the Defiant onto your loading dock. Todd Solondz defines rape as "when you love someone, and they don't love you back, and you do something about it." M.I.A. and Santogold just might be the same Sri Lankan.
My grandmother was unplugged on 11:50am, August 20th, 2008, at Seton Medical Center. My doctor is on vacation September 2nd, and because of my HMO, I can't see an orthopedist and I'll lose my basketball scholarship to Stanford.
I've never been able to see the images hidden in 3-D posters. I don't like repetition and I feel really bad for Jon in Jon & Kate plus 8. AMC is killing the night time original programming. I'm getting really sick of cubicles and people that have fixies but don't mash with them.
