That's nuts. Not that she is involved with this project but the title of it all. You see my Dad refers to one of my cousin as a welfare queen. I thought he was the only person who used that "pet name." Daddy gas the Lumina up, we're going to Hollywood! Now she is probably going to watch the movie (bootleg of course, she has an image to uphold) for tips.

Use don't abuse (ie. adding me to your site's mailing list). And for the love of God please stop sending mp3 files of your music. I am not Clive Davis and to be frank I probably don't want to hear the shit anyway. You should also know that I take my slow, precious time responding to email. And sometimes I don't respond at all.
