Dis guy iz a walking contradiction. He says he hates people that follows trends but yet he following one.

ChuckB May 10th, 2010 at 02:44 PM
lmao this guy is hilarious...and the funniest thing is that he's dead ass about every answer he gave P.S. unless its for a job, using a beeper today is like continuing to use Windows 95 in 2010

I give the dude mad props for wearing what he likes, if people are wasting their words by saying that he was whack style then the dude is doing sumthing right, he is obviously making a statement... haters find a better occupation, I heard Hator-ade drinks company has a good retirement plan. Yo!
