umm,black popcorn[i know grady can whip some up]film noir,west you're inside my head,where strange and stranger things happen.

[westgrandboulevard]

There are very many interpretations to a description of 'genius'.

What some people would find strange, would seem perfectly normal to others.

Once you reach enough people who recognise your unique talents, you have an audience.

[moe]

Ha, westgrand..........but it's getting to reach those people that's difficult!!
My stomach isn't feeling good after reading about grady
