    I would like to go to dinner in Fort Collins with my boys and not have random people come up and video us, you know?

    Bull. Shit. You chose to be an attention seeking loudmouth.

          So find some identification for yourself, there will be a field for birth date. In that field there should be a four digit number. Subtract that number from 2024, and viola that number is how old you have become.

          The Breakfast

          Appreciate it…that’s one of those titles I’ve heard so many times and never watched it, finally committed to and just finished watching it, really enjoyed it. The dialogue is so sharp it reads more like a theatrical production, so well done it almost doesn’t seem like a movie, my how times have changed.

          I can’t confirm that sentiment.

          I have no idea who has been in her mouth, but I’d assume some of them would be repulsive too.

    Problem: the more people know about me, the more they despise me.

    Solution: get angry at the media for telling people stuff about me.

    Yeah. That checks out.

    I’m not scientifician, but I’m pretty sure it’s a politician’s job to get people to like them, not the media.
