if you ever need an extra person to help out with something, just give me a call. you and I have what seems to be a perfect cohesion of values and I'd be happy to help out in whatever way I can. I'll probably see you tonight. I guess I should clean more. SNAP!

hey, so i know... how about we start enacting this goddamn revolution!! shit, i am ready-- you are ready. where should we begin.

(ps: you are certainly right. revolt and responsiblity to our global community are more important than any other shit we are told to cherish. there is no mathematic equation you could ever be taught in school that would equal the power of saying "hello" to an Arabic speaker in their native language.)
