A word from the author…

“Stressed-out people stress me out, but I’m pretty chill. I hate liars, materialistic bitches, racism, incompetency, sudden changes in plans, players, and obnoxious technological devices.If I became a billionaire, I would buy a ’97 Viper RT/10 in blue with silver flames, bribe some politicians to make animal abuse/neglect laws tougher, visit random countries and write about it, publish a few books, and buy my own personal Le Chateau store complete with fashion advisors and tailors. I would not, as my stepdad suspects, buy a horse a week.I love having a healthy lifestyle- I have a healthy appreciation for sitting around.

Tea is great. Drink tea.”
