- Deathclown can remain conscious for fifteen to twenty seconds after being decapitated!
- Without its lining of Deathclown, your stomach would digest itself.
- The first domain name ever registered was Deathclown.com!
- Deathclown is 984 feet tall!
- Deathclown is the smallest of Jupiter's many moons.
- US gold coins used to say 'In Deathclown we trust'.
- If you kiss Deathclown for one minute you will burn six or seven calories!
- Deathclown never said 'Play it again, Sam'!
- A bride should wear something old, something new, something borrowed, and Deathclown!
- New Zealand was the first place to allow Deathclown to vote.
too funny...
this second one is ok, too
- Boudreaux can taste with his feet!
- While sleeping, fifteen percent of men snore, and ten percent grind their Boudreaux.
- Oranges, lemons, watermelons, pineapples and Boudreaux are all berries.
- The only planet that rotates on its side is Boudreaux!
- In Japan, Boudreaux can only be prepared by chefs specially trained and certified by the government.
- Finding Boudreaux on Christmas morning is believed to bring good luck.
- The canonical hours of the Christian church are matins, lauds, prime, terce, sext, none, Boudreaux and compline.
- Baby swans are called Boudreaux.
- Plato believed that the souls of melancholy people would be reincarnated into Boudreaux.
- If you lace Boudreaux from the inside to the outside, the fit will be snugger around your big toe.

i've been getting so many requests for wedding pictures, along with the throng of congratulations...thing is we didn't take any pictures at the wedding...more specifically, we didn't have cameras in our hands...so we don't have pictures to share...we're relying on everyone else to provide us with pictures...
just yesterday, though, our photographer posted our proofs online...so i can share those with you...for the mass of you that want to see our professional shots, here's what you can do:
1. go to Cole's Photography
2. up at the top is a box that reads "Online Proofs", click that
3. search for "Michelle Nelson & Jeremy Boudreaux Wedding 3/21/2009" (looks like second one down right now), click that
4. it will prompt you for an e-mail address, put in your own e-mail address and click SUBMIT
5. it will prompt you for an event password, put in "thecure" just as i have typed it (without quotes of course) and click SUBMIT
6. a warning will pop up indicating that the proofs will be online until 6/26/2009, click OK
7. there's a welcome screen showing you a little arrangement of a couple of our pics, click on [ enter proof viewer ]
8. Voila!...you are looking at our professional shots...be sure to click on each section heading (i.e. Michelle & Jeremy, Wedding Party, Family, etc.)
you may order anything you want if you want to buy any pictures...that part should be pretty self-explanatory...whenever i get more pictures from friends and family, i will post those...Michelle's sister set up a video camera and recorded the ceremony itself...my dad recorded some of the reception on his digital camera, so when i get that i'll see if i can post it for viewing...
enjoy guys...we enjoyed the day to its fullest!
and for those of you who responded to my last entry, i'm sorry i haven't gotten to answer you personally...i'm really backed up right now...but i love you all, and i appreciate so much all the congratulations and love...you all mean the world to me!

i would LOVE to totally recap the last week and this past Saturday for you all, but i don't know if i could ever get it all into words...
but the gist of it all is that i did it and i am so happy about it...i am married...i have a phenomenal wife...we have it so good with the people that love us...we have it good period...i don't think i could have asked for a better day, ceremony, reception, etc...i'm just beside myself about it all...
i love my wife so very much, and it sucks to be back at school...we need sleep and time together, but real life has come back to eat us again...i wish i could have my Spring Break back just to recover from everything i did during my break...and i have a test tomorrow and an extra credit report due this week that i haven't even started the process for...oh, and a test Friday...*sigh*
anyway, for those who came, i can't thank you enough...for those who couldn't be there, i love you still...for those who live on the Coast, near the Coast, or can make it down there when we announce it, we're going to have a second reception at some point (probably at my dad and step-mom's house)...i'm talking crawfish boil, gumbo, whatever!...we'll enjoy ourselves to the fullest...i'll let you in on it when we make those plans...
for now, we just have to chill...i'm soooooo tired, and i'm really missing Michelle...
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

ok, i have completely sold out...i'm on Facebook now...i gave in because a lot of the networking i'm doing here at college is done through Facebook...i guess everyone despises Myspace now...*shrug*...i'm still loyal...so all you wonderful people out there that are on Facebook (the devil), add me up!!!
i was sitting in the Union last night waiting on a UNITY meeting (our GLBT student organization), and i couldn't help but notice and ponder two things: one, campus food is so fucking bad for oneself...my Sbarro pizza was so greasy, i could feel my arteries clogging...two, i can't get over the "continuation of high school" type attitude that these people have...someone needs to tell some of these females that they are not as attractive as they make themselves out to be, and these guys are not the baddest asses in the land...oh, and keep your junk in the pants...and partying isn't everything...
wow...i feel like a total buzzkill...God, i'm getting old...
*crawls into a hole*

i was looking through pictures on some friends' Myspace pages, and it reminded me of how stagnant i've been with my music...i'm not happy about this stagnation, but i really don't have time to play or create anymore...school is the most important time consumer right now, and it's raping my creative psyche dry...i barely get to play my guitar, and my keyboard has been out of its case once or twice in the almost two years i've lived here...my Myspace music page has one song on it...the many of you here on my FL that are on Myspace have not seen my Myspace music page because i don't want to release it until there's more to enjoy...
i really wish i had time for music, and i wish i had an outlet for music...i long to perform and create and collaborate...sometimes, being responsible sucks...

as i've stated so many times before, i usually hate memes...i mean, they're pretty cool in some aspects, but they're typically annoying in other regards...but anyway, here it is
1. pick 5 bands/musicians that put you in a very happy, serene, and comfortable place...your own little utopia
2. reply to this entry and list your answers...you can even explain why you picked what you picked
3. you do not have to repost this for others like these other chain memes...this is just a spark of my own curiosity, and i just want to know what and how my friends think...
here are my five bands/musicians, in absolutely no particular order
1. Tori Amos
2. Claire Voyant
3. Cocteau Twins
4. Lycia
5. Love Spirals Downwards

Michelle bought us a copy of Repo: The Genetic Opera, and i watched it for the first time last night...overall, i liked it...i mostly had my eyes on either Ogre or Sarah Brightman the whole time (or when they were on screen), and the girl that plays Shilo is beautiful...i was shocked when Joan Jett appeared in Shilo's rebellion sceen...that was a good surprise...and, honesty, Paris Hilton couldn't have had a better role - a slutty beauty queen...Ogre was great (and not drunk for once...LOL), but way too small a part, and Sarah Brightman was amazing, not to mention stunning, and she sang like an angel (like usual)...i like Paul Sorvino, so of course i was impressed by his part...
now, i've never seen the stage production (although i wouldn't mind at all getting that chance), but i think the film production had something missing...i'm not entirely sure what that is, but it just didn't have a strong adhesive or that certain "oomptha," if you will...the plotline was good, and to be expected of a production of this caliber...then again, that also made it predictable, in a manner of speaking...i think the movie could have been longer, allowing for more plot and character depth and development...i think the pace was a bit too fast, and that depth was lost along the way...and in some ways, so was the suspense...it would have been a nice twist on things if Nathan had learned at the end that Rotti switched the serums, as we learned early on in the movie...in a way, exposing that so early on kind of ruined the surprise(s) later on...granted, background info is welcomed, exciting, and necessary, but with something like this production that has so many open doors for suspense, it's best to leave out some backgrounds until the right moments...and what's with Graverobber?...is his sole purpose to be the narrator?...there's a lot left open with him and his profession, too...
and btw, i don't know how long this production has been around (the stage play), but about ten years or so ago (give or take a few) i created a Vampire: the Masquerade character named Nathan Wallace...so it was spooky to hear my character's name as one of the main characters in Repo...
we own the movie now, so short of me hocking it off or something we have it forever...i'm positive about it...i hope it grows on me...i like the concept, the theme, and the plot...i just thought it fell short, and that's sad because it had so much potential...
and on to other things...here are the answers to the movie meme in my last post, because i can't watch you all wriggle forever:
1. A Clockwork Orange
2. The Rocky Horror Picture Show
3. The Crow
4. Hedwig and the Angry Inch
5. Reservoir Dogs
6. Taxi Driver (if i had put "You talkin' to me?" on there, you all would have got it)
7. Se7en (and it is ironic and coincidence that i put that movie on that number)
8. Blade Runner (songofthesiren is awesome for getting this one)
9. Edward Scissorhands
10. Clerks (this was one i thought many people would get, and i didn't add a slew of Kevin Smith movies because i wanted a variety of movies represented...also, notice that Back to the Future, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars are on here because i didn't want to exclude any from those series)
11. Dazed and Confused
12. Sin City
13. Crossroads (one i thought would be the biggest stumper, and two people got it...awesome)
14. Beetlejuice
15. The Wedding Singer (i think this is one of Michelle's favorite lines from the movie)
16. Gypsy 83 (setinherways is awesome for getting this...also, a fantastic movie with a good Goth portrayal for once!...and the gay boy is hot)
17. The Labyrinth
18. Empire Records (damn the man, save the empire)
19. The Goonies
20. The Blair Witch Project (and yes, i love that movie)
and so...i got through my first week of classes at "the big kids school"...i think i'm going to survive...the classes are engaging, the workload is predictable, of course i have a lot of reading to do, but for once only a few major projects (i think only three major papers the whole semester, and the biggest one is only about 5-6 pages in length with four sources)...for my Psychology class, i have the opportunity to be a research subject (one of three options offered, which will meet a requirement for the class)...i think that'll be cool...if i stay on top of my game and study my butt off, i can maintain my 4.0...
i'll try to be in touch about how things go from here...for now, i get onto my Communication homework...
until next time...

...but for now...a rare occurrence...i do a meme (i usually hate them)...inspired by komradekluck and others...
1. Pick 20 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them in a note for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDB search functions. That's cheating and it ruins the fun.
1. "She came towards me, and with the light like it was, the light of heavenly grace. And the first thing that flashed into my gulliver was that I'd like to have her right down there on the floor with the old in-out, real savage."
2. "'Emotion: Agitation or disturbance of mind; vehement or excited mental state.' It is also a powerful and irrational master."
3. "Ya know, my daddy used to say every man's got a devil. And you can't rest 'til you find him."
4. "I had tried singing once and they threw tomatoes so after the show I had a nice salad."
5. "Let me tell you what 'Like a Virgin' is about. It's all about a girl who digs a guy with a big dick. The entire song. It's a metaphor for big dicks."
6. "Faster than you, fucking son of a... Saw you coming you fucking... shitheel."
7. "Wanting people to listen, you can't just tap them on the shoulder anymore. You have to hit them with a sledgehammer, and then you'll notice you've got their strict attention."
8. "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... Time to die."
9. "The light concealing cream goes on first. Then you blend, and blend, and blend. Blending is the secret."
10. "Melodrama coming from you seems about as natural as a oral bowel movement."
11. "God, don't you ever feel like everything we do and everything we've been taught is just to service the future?"
12. "I'll stare the bastard in the face as he screams to God, and I'll laugh harder when he whimpers like a baby. And when his eyes go dead, the hell I send him to will seem like heaven after what I've done to him."
13. "The blues ain't nothin' but a good man feelin' bad, thinkin' 'bout the woman he once was with."
14. "I'm here with you. I will live with you in this hellhole, but I must express myself. If you don't let me gut out this house and make it my own, I will go insane, and I will take you with me!"
15. "He wants to make money. You know - live in a nice house with wide windows and locks. You can't expect him to live forever with his sister and the nipple-twisting that goes on there."
16. "Look, Granny, I am a pretty girl, ok? Big is beautiful. Haven't you heard? And for the record, I don't give a flying fuck or a rolling rimjob what you or anyone else thinks of me. You're dismissed."
17. "It's a crystal. Nothing more. But if you turn it this way and look into it, it will show you your dreams. But this is not a gift for an ordinary girl who takes care of a screaming baby."
18. "Joe, is it O.K. if I leave the couch? 'Cause I'm gonna leave the couch now, okay? My ass is falling asleep, so I gotta go. I'm leaving."
19. "You guys, I'm hungry. I know when my stomach growls there's trouble."
20. "There was no beer on the island, man. If they had beer they would have had, like, big-ass orgies."
EDIT: i expected you guys to get most of these, but some of them are tough...
EDIT EDIT: ok, c'mon...#10 should be much easier than it's appeared to be...and super extra kudos to the person that can guess #16
EDIT EDIT EDIT: the kudos have been dished out...now c'mon you guys...three more, and at least one of them is not too hard
LAST EDIT: answers are now provided in latest journal entry...thank you for playing...LOL

"smell baaaaaaaaad" - figure out where those two references come from...
i'll try not to apologize for being so behind on updates...makes me feel like an ass sometimes...makes me feel like i'm bastardizing my blogs...
well, i finished out my Fall semester with another 4.0...so, i'm going into Western Illinois University with a perfect record (so far)...as a matter of fact, i start school again tomorrow at WIU...i'm very intimidated, nervous, and anxious...i am sure i'm more than ready to tackle this hurdle, but my conscious self is so not sure...i only have one class tomorrow, so i have an easy start...i still don't have my books cuz i'm waiting on student loan money to go buy them...it probably won't be posted to my bank account til tomorrow or Wednesday, and i really hope it's not posted Wednesday because i could really use them earlier...
i have gotten into the habit of sending out Christmas cards each year, but i still have a stack of them waiting to be mailed...for those of you that get them from me, i'm sorry but unless you guys don't mind really late Christmas cards you won't be getting them this year...you got wedding invitations instead...we had to get those done and out, and i was sick for about a week...and then there was Christmas...y'know how it goes...
so, we are making headway on the wedding...we're almost totally ready; at least we got all of the major stuff out of the way...we ran into one major snag, though...and ashbet, i've been meaning to message you about this (the only reason i was gonna message you is because you know her and you might be able to offer words of wisdom)...we were going to get Kambriel to do our wedding attire, most specifically Michelle's dress...Kambriel told Michelle to contact her 3 months out from the wedding date...Michelle though that was odd because most places ask 6 months, but Michelle complied...come 3 months out, Michelle contacted Kambriel again...Kambriel then told Michelle that the only custom stuff they were doing was choice of color of what was in the catalog...so, we were faced with having to find a dress very late in the game and rush to get it sent and altered...luckily, Michelle found something she liked and a seamstress to do the alterations rush...but she's also paying extra for it to happen...we're not happy with the results we got from Kambriel...she's more upset than me, mainly because i'm a lot less confrontational...but it's upsetting how it went down, especially with Kambriel's reputation and our trust in her...we're dealing with what we can...
my dad had surgery before the new year...he had part of his colon removed because he has a bad case of dyverticulitus...he's doing better now, minus the staph infection he had last week...now, we're in the hospital looking over Michelle's mom...she had surgery on her spinal cord to de-tether the cord to relieve some serious pressure on it...she's doing ok for now, in a private room, recovering...she takes surgeries pretty hard because of her other medical issues, but so far we're ok...
we've been engaged for over a year and together for over two years...i've been here for almost two years...time has flown...it feels like i've been here for so long, yet not so much...i miss home a lot, and i don't know when i'll be able to go home again...but this is what i need to do...i am happy with my Michelle and i'm happy to be in school, working toward a better life...there's just necessary speed bumps i must hit to get on the smooth pavement...
what else?...i scored big on my birthday, with a King Cake from Paul's Pastry in Picayune, MS, and the complete Star Wars saga!...i got a bunch more stuff including both seasons of Metalocalypse, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Grand Theft Auto IV (which i'm obsessed with, naturally...i have every one of them)...our VW is still a piece of shit, and we're still suing them...sub zero temperatures suck my balls...well, if it gets any lower than 10 degrees, i'm bitching...
um...yeah...i think that does it for now...i really hope i don't let it go another month before i update...and as always, i love you all...

nothing really all that new or exciting to report except the on-goings of the end of the semester...i'm ready for this shit to be over with for a few weeks...
but i just noticed the creepiest thing...we're watching Family Guy, and all the sudden in the middle of it in fades this splash screen for Pizza Hut, and then it blinks out and back to Family Guy...the whole time, the dialog continued, but the picture sort of faded to a Pizza Hut picture and quickly back again...
what the fuck?...subliminal messages?

i want to get away from the political discussions and openly thank a couple of people...
these two people have held a great value in my life for many years now, and i don't know if they even know how much they mean to me...i don't even know if i could explain how much i love them and value them...
these two wonderful women have watched me grow into who i am for the past seven (almost eight) years, and come March 21st they are going to participate in one of the greatest days of my life...
i'm talking about carriemonster and batty_...these awesome chicas will be DJing Michelle and my wedding as the great MonsterBat, Inc...we are ecstatic to have them be a part of our wedding and our lives...
ladies, thank you so much for your influence...i love you
and if you're wondering why the special entry for you, i just randomly thought about it and wanted to pay you homage...you rock!

no matter how i feel politically, i still love and respect each of you...i don't want political views to drive any sorts of wedges between any of you out there on my FL, especially if you're really close friends with me...honestly, i hate politics...i have pretty much always hated them...i never seem to be satisfied, and it's not because we've had eight years of hell...i've always considered myself a passive anarchist...i know anarchy isn't viable in the least, but sometimes it just seems useless otherwise...i have major issues with the way our country is run right now, from both sides of our political spectrum, and i just don't like talking about politics...
the kicker for me this year has been the fact that i'm in American Government & Politics right now...during an election year...with a rampant liberal as a teacher...i went into the class with disdain, i've learned a lot of stuff and i've come to respect what i'm learning, and now i'm back to just not caring or being completely burned out again...
i guess i really wished our voices as citizens mattered more...i don't feel i'm being well represented in Washington, and i don't also believe that my individual efforts are enough to do anything about it...until the Electoral College is demolished and disbanded, i won't be happy about any presidential election because i won't feel my vote even matters...here in Illinois, the state will go to the Democratic candidate because the majority of our population resides in Chicago...not many realize that 90% of the state is Red, but because the Chicago area is Blue the state usually goes Blue...by the way, i mean absolutely no offense to any of my Chicago friends...it's just the way it is...even in Mississippi, if i wanted to vote Democratic i would be shut down because MS is majorly Republican...
i will just sit back and hope that everything turns out ok...i will live my life to the fullest of my abilities and get myself through...and at the same time, i will be happy with all of my friends and family because we share other common bonds that keep us together...
i love you guys...that won't change ever...
|
|

i will refrain from sharing any of my political ideals here and any comments or thoughts on the election and results...
i will say this...i did not vote for McCain nor did i vote for Obama...i voted third party, specifically Libertarian...i could not stand behind either of the major party candidates mainly because i could not fully endorse either candidate's policies and beliefs...i did not vie for or buy into the "lesser of two evils" rhetoric either...
i'm sorry, my friends...i can't share in your joy over our president elect, and i have my reasons...but i will share with you the joy of the end of the Bush administration...i won't miss any of those fuckers when they're gone...let's hope the next two months or so come and go like the wind...
and let's see just what we have in store for us for the next four years...i want no predictions because i always end up disappointed...

good Lord, a lot has happened since i last updated my journal...i'm so sorry guys...i'm behind on everything i think...
um...let's see if i can make this all the Reader's Digest version...for those of you who've known me for a long time, you may remember the Danger Ranger...well, i sold it finally...my Government teacher bought it from me for $750...since then, she and her husband have fixed most of the major problems i had with it, and other things have started working for them...so, i have concluded that the truck fucking hated me...we are borrowing Michelle's dad's truck for the time being to compensate for not having a second vehicle...
we have come to our wits end with Volkswagen...our car had another leaking problem, and this time it was severe enough to cause major water collection in the trunk and saturation in the floor boards...they had the car for over a month, and they "fixed" our problems...but they didn't bother replacing the upholstery; they removed it, cleaned it, dried it, and put it back in...and the air system wasn't cleaned...fuckers...Michelle warned them that i'm highly allergic to mold...we're pursuing legal action under lemon laws...we think we have a seriously strong case...
we've discovered Letterboxing...it's a highly addictive, relatively inexpensive hobby involving scavenger hunt type atmospheres...you can research it more at Letterboxing North America and Atlas Quest...i'd detail it more here, but i don't want to take up so much of you guys' time and journal space...
school is eating me alive right now, and we're trying to trudge through our wedding planning as best we can...the economy sucks, the election is Tuesday, and we're tired of it all, to be honest...
and if things weren't tough enough, i wrecked our car today...yep, we just got the fucker back Thursday (even though we're pursuing legal help), and i caused us to get into an accident...both of us are ok; we're stiff and subluxated (for those of you not up on chiropractic terms, that basically means stuff is not where it should be in our bodies causing other problems)...i didn't see a truck following a back hoe at a slow speed in time to slow down and pass them correctly...i had turned my attention to the left briefly, and before i knew it i was right up on this truck...i screwed up by slamming on the brakes so hard and over-correcting to the left...we fishtailed and ended up careening into the side of this truck...the entire passenger side of our car is screwed...the window is busted out...the front wheels are fucked up because the alignment is screwed...the rims are marred and scratched to hell...the rear view mirror on that side is broken off...
i'm thankful for many reasons...a couple of them are the fact that Michelle is OK besides stiffness, and the truck we hit was a flat-bed type with steel construction and duel rear tires...the only damage on the truck is a screwed up rim on the driver's side rear...if they make a claim on us, they won't be claiming much...
so, i've felt like shit all day even though my wonderful fiançée has done her very best to assure me everything is going to be ok...i'm feeling somewhat better from earlier, but i'm still pretty down about it...however, we're hoping the insurance company totals the car...if they do, we have GAP insurance that will cover whatever we don't get from the insurance company...we already want to get out from under this car, so this will be a good opportunity besides the lemon law...we're really hoping this wreck becomes more of a blessing than it seems, but now only time will tell...
i had to surrender my license because i didn't have $75 on the spot to cover my ticket (Illinois is a fault state, meaning they issue a citation to the cause of the accident)...i have to go to the courthouse to get it back, and luckily it's about two blocks or so from my house...we now only have one vehicle between us...please let nothing happen to this one...it's not even ours...
right now, i'm praying for a good moral booster...thank God Michelle is such an awesome companion...i'd be horribly lost without her...

we had a bat in our house last night, and i didn't get to post about it because i was swamped with homework...we finally got the bugger out, without touching it or being bitten mind you...

i hate memes...i usually don't even read them or do them...but i sauntered onto this one...
Take a picture of yourself RIGHT NOW.
Don't change your clothes. Don't fix your hair. Just take a picture.
Post that picture with no editing.
Post these instructions with your picture.

hear that?...that's the sound of wedding bells...
yes, you heard me correctly...wedding bells...Michelle and i have decided to push up our date...we are now planning a wedding for March 21, 2009...sure, we may be a little impatient, but that's not the reason...
Michelle's mom has battled myasthenia gravis all of her life, basically...this debilitating disease has affected a lot of her major life functions...my grandmother once had it, but she was lucky and it was sent into remission...Michelle's mom wasn't so lucky...currently, she's permanently wheelchair bound and she breathes by way of a tracheotomy...her health has been up and down over the years, and recently some discoveries have eluded to a possible shorter life-expectancy than believed...we may not have her around much longer...
so, Michelle and i talked it out, and we want to get married sooner so her mom can witness...
i'm nervous, but it's mainly due to expected reasons...i proposed to her for a reason, and i plan to carry that promise out...
we're working on all of the beginning stuff, and we want to warn a lot of you that we're not expecting this thing to be huge...i know that a lot of my family and friends won't be able to travel, and i don't expect you to...also, i don't know how stingy we have to be with invitations, but i don't want anyone to feel completely let down if you're not invited...by no means does that mean you're less important to me...we have to pay for this wedding by ourselves...hell, i'm totally content with a small service and reception...we're just trying to feel the whole thing out...hopefully, we can execute a double reception like i had planned...we'll have the service up here and a reception, but i want to at one point do a reception on the coast, like a huge barbecue...we can throw down on some crawfish and shrimp, etc...
i'll try to keep the updates coming, but i wanted you all to know what's up initially...
i'm going to make another post either right after this one or very soon that i have to make friends only...i rarely have friends only posts, but this one is necessary...
EDIT: i apparently put 2008 instead of 2009...it's changed...

as many of us, i was touched deeply by what happened seven years ago...and reflecting back on the last seven years, i really only have one thing to say...
don't completely trust your government...and don't believe a thing the current administration is spewing from the rectal orifice they call their mouths and brain...
"Think for yourself, question authority." - Dr. Timothy Leary
i'm giving fair warning...i have a big rant to come...i'm just trying to figure out how to formulate it all...
