Kleenex (LiLiPUT) - "Madness" I just love everybody, and that's it. I want the world to know that I'm innocent and that I've found peace. Let's ride. I'm an African warrior, born to breathe, and born to die I would like to say that I have no animosity toward anyone. I made a mistake 18 years ago - I lost control of my mind but I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I have no hate toward humanity. I hope He will forgive me for what I done. I didn't mean to. This execution is not justice. This execution is an act of revenge! (Mumbled something about he wished his whole life would have been spent as Islamic.) I would like to say - I just hope Ms. Fielder is happy now. I would like to thank my lawyer, Nancy, for her help on my case and for being with me now. I don't think so. That's all. Go ahead. Start things rolling. (Mouthed "Hi, Mom" to his mother.) You all brought me here to be executed, not to make a speech. A lot of people view what is happening here as evil, but I want you to know that I found love and compassion here. The people who work here, I thank them for the kindness they have shown me and I deeply appreciate all that has been done for me by the people who work here. That's all, Warden, I'm ready.

i used to have this record, but it got stolen at a houseparty. my housemate was bent on entertaining, but my room was too small to house my record collection. my roommate didn't own any records, so she loved the idea of sharing mine in the living room. by the time i moved out, most of my good stuff had been swiped without my noticing. i lived there three months, and during that interim i had let my record collection go to seed, forgetting to tend to it, so i didn't even notice until later. gone also are the x ray spex, the seeds, and kinks kronicles. party houses are inhumane to a bubblebrain collector.
