If ANYONE knows why Alice in Chains' "Would?" is suddenly lodged in my fucking brain on repeat, I'd appreciate it.

TSA flagged my bag for the multiple shrink wrapped DECKS in there. Tested it for C4 residue. I mean, it’s powerful stuff but cmon, right?

Whether she disappears into the sunset for an incredible retirement or uses any portion of this money to make his life a little more miserable, I will be so f'ing happy when this figure hits her bank account.
