Favorite Quote:
To each his own seems to be our motto<br /> and since this is the case<br /> I wish the aliens would come attack us today.<br /> Because only then would we unite as one world,<br /> instead of being separated by our own<br /> governments, prejudices, religions, and races.

"Somewhere inside a star, an idea was born.
Then came you."




But...

You don't understand.
The hatred I carry for myself.
Like a ricochetting bullet inside my brain
That won't exit and kill me already.

I never should have been born.
