Jul 7, 2008 - this guy is a looneybin hes like a fucked up cracked out motivational speaker that says really really dumb things. my guess is he went to high school dropped out gave the illusion he doesnt do drugs dress nice but did way too much acid and a good amount of coke. he might have sniffed glue too much too.
