Weaksauce all the way around
Why am I getting the impression this guy isn’t hitting on all eight cylinders?
Lol, right now the courts declared me legally insane, I do suffer from schitzophrena, and I do all I can to make things whacky. Like looney toons. I figure I can have my outlet, cops can do thier jobs. I mean no harm, and it looks like I turned into the towns nutcase, what else IS there to do when I feel like any job I take on is a waste on the machine. Ive only recently come to understand the rules of society. Before that I was usually in a box and somebody cared for me because I have some nifty skillz people like to exploit. So seeing this online and in the news flatterd me and bolsterd my inner confinance in myself as a human. Thats all I truly ever wanted.
To the people who call me crazy. I both care and dont care what you think.
i dont do drugs, althought I should.
