 I dont know the commertial
I just heard it a couple times and I got a feeling and did picture the date in my head then I put it together our emergency number was also a date. Then I blew it off and forgot till it happened months after. My friends and family know I can be a little psycic. You should understand as worldly and having daughters that might have had psycic experiances. I gotta go to bed so I can turn in my first Business Law midterm. Im going to be a succsessful Entrapenor/Lawer. Run that on your future tell program. I have been held back by the paranoya of the days I was being tracked, all ways. How do you think I learned we had the ability to take over cable systems at a touch of a button. It was not just punishment. Richy Jelica of londonderry NH, for tracking purposes was the one whom manipulated me via order of his captore's the unknown at the time DEA. Which is a trigger unconciously for the main words user think without saying. EA on bills, kids see E and A as there favorite past time at clubs and elsewhere. What are we going to do?

This term is a term of repair and telling of secrets that will win you 2.

Just keep the cops off my tail with all I know and I may be a usefull part of your office. Bush I offered to be a body guard, you I offer my most civilian efferts to stop the control of corruption in ALL walks of Government. This is funny, I always saw GW as cobra commander of GI-JOE. I dont know why.
My birth and MK-s tainting of my life will end and my god given place in the next 200+ years will be my greatest victory over Sham houston the medical army lie and test facility. You know whats funny I still think my dad was an agent during NAm made to forget his missions cause he cant hide that from me with acting aloof. I think Michelle in her early years was the Russian comrad in Dark skys the alien show that did not last not due to lack of interest. If that movie is really about my DAD in the army he's a hero whom saved me Reagan and his wife and the world.

Back in the 70's we knew when aliens would abduct. Wow thats the program I talk of that can pretty much predict the future.

I hope we dont let those alien beings obduct anymore or when I build my masterpiece a replica of a Starship I dreamt of or really saw my 17th year in Nashua NH going west from westgate villiage in month may I think.

I will love to get in Star Trek battles.
