About Me

Here on Earth for a limited time only...
beginning to crack the code between Logic and Emotion
Playing Off The Rail...corner pocket
Well I'm gonna go then! And I don't need any of this! I don't need this stuff, and I don't need you. I don't need anything except this ashtray and that's it and that's the only thing I need, is this. I don't need this or this. Just this ashtray. And this paddle game, the ashtray and the paddle game and that's all I need. And this remote control. The ashtray, the paddle game, and the remote control, and that's all I need. And these matches. The ashtray, and these matches, and the remote control and the paddle ball. And this lamp. The ashtray, this paddle game and the remote control and the lamp and that's all I need. And that's all I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one - I need this chair! The paddle game, and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches, for sure. And this magazine! And that's all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.
