Relocate from Michigan while you still have the means.
happens. Worst part is, my resumé will read "Managed business into bankruptcy".
I cant wait to see how this turns out. I really am completely and unequivocally emotionally unattached from this country. I sincerely hope we start a world war so I can at least see humanity burn by its own fire. Its about the only aspiration I have left.
I was drunk
The day my mom
Got out of prison
And I went, to pick her up
In the raaaaaaain
But befoooore I could get to the station in my pickuuuuup, truck
She got runned over by the damned ol' train
I cant control the rage that flows from me
I cant shut it down, it overwhelms me
I cant stop the the rage that flows from me
Cant stop the violence
I love it
No one's immune to hate that flows from it
Infectious
I feed on it
Ever ing endless day
You either on my side, or else youre in my way
You wont stand a chance when I am lashing out random hate
There is no other way
Its my discipline, its my way of life

Props to Texas on keeping alpha status. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!
