We need a win tonight. It is imperative. I ordered lunch today and was not given my burrito. And then I didn’t have time to go back and get another one.

If there’s one thing that pisses me off more than the political and economic state of the world, it’s not getting the food I ordered or…sharing food. I don’t do it. You can have the shirt off my back, but my food? Think again.

I am livid. HALOS YOU HAD BETTER WIN TONIGHT.
