Perversion
I tried to be the perversion that everyone wanted to interview
It is a shame that our society has been taken over by betrayal, and as I just said, the word perversion
It seems like most big societies, like the Roman empire, the British empire, the Moore's empire, etc., will last about 250 years. Our time is coming to a close
Small children now vomit in their front yards
Fathers open a can of chili, but they can only eat half to 1/3
Mothers and I do believe the society would be better suited as a matriarchy
Mothers are now doing all the work and homeless people carrying a full-time job plus volunteering in the community
Plus plus plus
I'm not saying all men are bad
There's at least one guy who lives in Czechoslovakia who's a halfway decent person
And there's one guy who lives in Mozambique who is at least 31% decent
Gwinnett Sullivan was on TV. His back was really bothering him
When John F Kennedy was President of the United States his back was really bothering him
You can see that poetry has been ruined. , except we need to give credit to the younger people who are speaking poetry and small groups of live people who meet together live
The older generations now wonder if there are still living people
I know a man who exercises in his bedroom and has a difficult time walking out of his bedroom into the rest of the house, and out of the house onto his cul-de-sac
Speaking of sex not that s a c x no sacs I meant I'm sorry
Speaking of sacx my housemate went shopping the other day
Even though we have a hard time getting along, we still live together for financial reasons
She makes almost all the decisions
Well I do buy groceries for myself sometimes much of the time I defer to her ability to a drive to the grocery store in the first place in her truck and be be smart enough to buy things on sale
She calls herself a cheap b**** and then laughs
I wish the monarch butterfly didn't have such a tough time flying from Illinois into Mexico
I wish general Patton had one more of his events when he was in the Olympics in 1912 as a Young Man
From KF frankly I wish Calvin Coolidge had talked even last even though he is lack of speaking led to grab a rather great wealth in the United States
I wish the car known as the Packard was still around. It was such a great car, it rivaled the Rolls-Royce in excellence
I wish my mother had not died before my birth
I wish my step-grandfather had not beaten
I wish my step-grandmother had not tried to kill my brother and me
I wish I were not raped by a tall blonde white man
I wish my wife were still alive, she died in August of 1995
Wish today were Valentine's Day
Did you know that chocolate can kill your dog?
À La Carte
We were whispering at the top of our lungs
A grizzly bear went by, head down, playing three-dimensional chess on his Iphone®.
No one knew that digital devices would be so welcomed by the animal kingdom.
The pigs whose pen is just beside the barn love Candy Crush®.
