[Bit 1]

I was born a Jedi, but my lightsaber was powered by

generic batteries.

It's like I got a lightsaber on Christmas morning,

and for whatever reason, even though they knew

it needed to have batteries, they still had to get mad at me

and go to 7-Eleven.

But when my lightsaber doesn't work,

I just put a helmet on.

Because anybody wearing a helmet that's 26 years old,

nobody's going to fuck with you.

I don't think there's one evil person in the world

that wouldn't back off from a helmet on an adult.

This is one of those times for my helmet.
