ABOUT ME

"Just because we stack paper and we ball outrageous them alphabet boys got us under surveillance"
-Young Jeezy

PHILOSOPHY

"When stuck in the river, it is best to dive and swim to the bank yourself before someone drops a large stone on your chest in an attempt to hoosh you there."
- Eeyore to Pooh Bear

"The greatest happiness is to vanquish your enemy, to drive him before you, to see his cities reduced to ashes, to see those who love him shrouded in tears, and to gather into your bosom his wives and daughters.â
