1. “Misunderstanding” by Genesis? 2. As I arise in the dawn hours, I have the sensation of being similar to Sean Combs. I emphatically apprehend my spectacles; I make my egress from my domicile; I will partake in many of the recreational activities around my municipality.

I shall empathize, child of mine, in the event that you are having difficulties with the fairer sex. Know, however, that though I currently face slightly fewer than one hundred hardships of my own, that none of them involve women of an insolent nature. ---

Some idiots must strut on stage, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing—not even a willingness to crush a Muscadine while others destroy all comestibles.
