The Young and the Restless (w/ PFG and Zach Langley Chi Chi)


"We were confronted with the very disturbing reality that young America had lost so much of its innocence. Innocence as we had known and lived it all our lives had, in so many respects, ceased to exist."

"My very firm conviction is that today, chemistry has replaced 'hospital life and death crisis' as the prime emotional force of daytime. Man-woman chemistry. Live, flesh-and-blood people who can get the adrenaline flowing. Damn nifty people who can turn you on and keep you turned on. That's what it's all about today as never before. Chemistry during through our veins. Sure, there are those who deny themselves--or say they do. Those who turn away--or say they do. But don't you believe it...Because either physically or emotionally, one way or another, we all feel the need to be needed, of being wanted, of knowing the touch, conquest, and surrender of another human being."

The Lord of the Rings (w/ Samememe) **TEASER**


“Kings built tombs more splendid than the houses of the living and counted the names of their descent dearer than the names of their sons. Childless lords sat in aged halls musing on heraldry or in high cold towers asking questions of the stars. And so the kingdom of Gondor sank into ruin, the line of kings failed, the white tree withered and the rule of Gondor was given over to lesser men. ”
