well I don't know about the rest of you but I had a great 2003.
I mean I did get left by a great woman, but she also got left by a alright guy.
I met alot nice folks that let this yankke transplant in
and I kept my prison bitch at my side far enuff away from dover so that my sweet red head did not get tainted by dover's foulness..
anyway heres so words from one of my alltime misunderstood hero's
