Great version but this one from the Free Tibet Concert is fabulous. Fast forward to 2:13, with that sample and percussion break beat, insanely great

Like I said in the Army, Chaplains are the most worthless people out there let alone use of resources. In public schools, absolute idiocy and it’s the hide out place for pedophiles

First off my condolences on getting laid off, that sucks no matter what, absolutely blows. If it was the last game in the series, a day game, I was there for 3 innings. Then had to leave cause some townie mfer, would not shut the fck up. Getting arrested at a game is not fun, so I left. A’s won.

I remember donating to her initial run and sending them emails cheering them on. She absolutely throttled the opposition, giving Queens a rep from the DSA. I can’t imagine having a State Rep that good, just phenomenal.

A rescue cat we got from the pound. Like having a great dog in cat form, just the best.
