I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.

I thought my ideas were so clear. I wanted to make an honest post. No lies whatsoever.

PM me and I will show you my tits

The gold line stop at Del Amo/Pasadena has a badass pizza place in it next to a Stone taproom. Highly recommend it.

This funicular (funnest type of train) goes at a max 110% slope and the cars are rotating glass barrels so you can look at a big rear end mountain

quote:

Christened "Sochi" for the city it stops in along the way (yes, the one where Formula One races), the train runs along the Black Sea between Tuapse, Russia and Gagra, Georgia, along a more than six-hour route. A VL10 heritage unit—a 6,169-horsepower electric locomotive developed in the early '60s—heads authentic Soviet rolling stock that was refurbished by the Tver Carriage Works, which added modern amenities like air conditioning, power outlets, and wifi, all while retaining the vintage decor according to KXAN 36 News.

The dialectical struggle of history has always, essentially, been a question of how to apply justice to matter. Take away matter and what remains is justice.

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance now
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
My little baby sister can do it with ease
It's easier than learning your A B C's
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby, jump up, jump back
Well, I think you got the knack, ohh
Now that you can do it, let's make a chain now
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
Chug-a chug-a motion like a railway train now
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
Do it nice and easy now don't lose control
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of soul
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
Come on, do the locomotion
Come on, do the locomotion
Come on, do the locomotion
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Move around the floor in a locomotion
(Come on baby do the locomotion)
Do it holding hands if you got the notion
(Come on baby do the loco-motion)
There's never been a dance that's so easy to do
It even makes you happy when you're feeling blue
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me
You gotta swing your hips now
Come on baby, jump up, jump back
Well, I think you got the knack, ohh
Do the loc, do the loc, do the loco locomotion
(Come on do the locomotion)
Do the loc, do the loc, do the loco locomotion
(Come on, do the locomotion)
Come on baby
All that you can do is come on baby
Come on, come on, come on, come on...
Come on!

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
