_Rollin’ down the street smokin’ endo, sippin’ on gin and juice, laid back._ In the first light of morning, are you able to catch a glimpse of the object that we happily hailed as the sun set last night? ---

Oh say can you see, by the dawn’s early light… _The Star-Spangled Banner_, by **Francis Scott-Key**. A drink! A large one, preferably one with a high alcohol content. I suggest a local libation, favored in New Orleans, made with a bar syrup of indeterminate provenance, and a liquor distilled from molasses. This will keep me from losing control of my mental faculties. The time is scarcely half an hour past mid-day, but that is no concern to me. At some location on the globe, the time is that wherein the workday ends. ---

My contentment is a cause of worriment on your part, you repeatedly assert. I offer the conjecture that penitence is behind whatever brainpower you devote to me. Were our roles reversed, I would be insouciant. I derive abundant amusement by enumerating blossoms upon the room partitions, during the time your social circle frets over moi. This causes me absolutely no irritation. ---

At some location on the globe, the time is that wherein the workday ends. Pour me something tall and strong, Make it a hurricane before I go insane. It’s only half past twelve but I don’t care. It’s five o’clock somewhere. _A being that is against the Messiah is how I define myself. A person who promotes stateless societies is how I define myself. I am ignorant of my own desires, but am knowledgable on the process to obtain said desires. Those who walk by my proximity I aspire to annihalate. For the absence of government is my desired identity._ ---
