Happy action when I am next to you!
Rock and roll!
Blow your mind!
The real friendship advances my heart!
It is your specialty!
Thank you! Thank you!

“Super Whiteness Smile”
Hey! Hello!
Dance next to me!
Enjoy the good time!
We make power fun every day

Your awesome sunshine expression

“Slow Dancing Music Video”
You think I am foolish!
You break my heart!
My love and shame are incongruous!
Baby, can you hear my seriousness?
Call me! Call me!
My cell phone always playing your favorite ring tone
And taking the video memories!
Listen! Looking!
Listen! Looking!
Watch out!

"I have a friend I want you to meet. He is the Bubble Man."
"I met the Bubble Man."
"No, you met Sidro the Bubble Man. You have not met Juan the Bubble Man."

She told us her father brought them from the bottom of the ocean just for us....
We'd seen her father. He had no arms.

"Fight--" He made stabbing gestures at my abdomen. "--with knives."
--
Farrakhan himself nearly stepped on me.

I am Nanook of the North.
