  • "HEY! Quit acting so YELLOW!!" HAHAHA! That was my part! Just a great piece; so valid, so relevant. The delivery is so rich, it's like chocolate and it hits your heart directly (as well as your mind).

  • Props Kelly. 

  • Like every other form of collectivism, racism is a quest for the unearned. It is a quest for automatic knowledge—for an automatic evaluation of men’s characters that bypasses the responsibility of exercising rational or moral judgment—and, above all, a quest for an automatic self-esteem (or pseudo-self-esteem).

    -Ayn Rand

  • Cut down on the "you know" may help...

  • Great conversation.

  • Asian/American ( japanese) here.

    I seriously love it when you talk. Your poetry is just so... I can't really put words in my mouth to describe it, but in simple american terms, " It's freaking awesome!"
