@TheChosenFewTV "if I need new friends I'll make em."

[TheChosenFewTV]

@27KAD yeah i thought that was pretty dope as well. what i didnt like was when he said "i think Sunspot is still my homeboy"

it just seems as time passes on we let little things cloud our vision and block us from visioning why we fell in love with eachother's friendships in the first place. friends are EVERYTHING in this world, just ask someone sitting in solitary confinement.

[27KAD]

"You're the fn Grouch!"..." ok I'll run with that" LOL
