Strange things pop in to your head when you're living in a box.

What good is a box? We use them for storing stuff and that's about it. When we were little we built forts, cars, space ships, and stupid looking robot costumes for Hallowe'en, all out of boxes. Cardboard was an essential part of a well balanced diet and a refridgerator box was the key to happiness. This was good.

Why was cardboard so tasty? It had a much nicer texture than your average piece of construction paper and fewer trippy side effects than glue. You could chew it like tobacco and it would last all day long. Anyway, enough about boxes.

Living in a trophy case would be pretty boring if it weren't for all the crazy people. They stop me from sleeping which is good. They tap on the class which is very, very bad. They are generous which is good. They win!

I'm tired. Drink, be merry, and enjoy life.
