About Me

"hello"

"hello, how are you?"

"f@$g terrible." he looks sad about to cry even. "who are you?"

"my name is topusky labloobsky and i lost my soul to the enchantments of nyc. you see here, people think this is the land of dreams but to get some of the honey you have to give the comb."

"hmm i think i understand. i just bought a car and i drive it to work to pay off my car... sorta like that right?"

"exact-o mundo my friends. i wear two different colored socks, wear suspenders, and don't know how to get rid of my sugar ant problem.. but i dream of seeing in four dimensions."
