RICK SHAPIRO · 12:31 AM

Blake Ian · 12:31 AM

A mind like that feeds on hypocrisy and lack of social depth

Blake Ian · 12:32 AM

so I think he would have just had a ball creating from the experience

Blake Ian · 12:32 AM

thats if he visited, if he lived there, he may have just gone out the way of Hunter Thompson!
