My indigestion issues got gigantic and constant. And then I started thinking, I'm getting skinny. I dropped about 20 pounds in the blink of an eye.

My work... is my legacy.

I like to believe that I've got a lot of guardian warriors sittin' on my shoulder including my dad.

When it looks like I may live longer than five minutes I'll drop cigarettes like a hot potato.
