Conor: I’m not a fan of [the Godfather movies].

Today at work I overheard some people talking excitedly about the imminent arrival of their tax-rebate checks, and it made me kind of sick.

Goodbye, 2007, you fucking asshole. You are complete dog shit. You were a total cock to me, and you were even a twat to my family and so many of my friends. I hope you're happy that you wasted your whole fucking life just being an asshole to everyone, and now you're going to die and it's too late to make up for your pig-shit existence of non-stop, ( Read more... )
