TYLER B. NICE (2006) A movie for the helpless hopeless haunted hungry video babies near

Lost somewhere between enlightenment and ignorance, but calm and comfortable with my limited understanding of the world. Each day is golden and grey, with busy autumn gusts and empty parking lots pervading the mental landscape. One day i hope to relax, but no time soon- youth is a time of revolt and disgust, revolution and a crippling hunger- and i am disgusted and hungry. I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
