Gas Leaks, Bonfires, and Sugar-free Drinks

Last night we made a bonfire during a gas leak. While this may seem a bit irresponsible, it was. But it was also quite fun. There is something about fire that is mesmerizing and sexy. Much like me. I think that is why I like fire. During the fire, I realized that stars are rad. Rad in the sense that there's a lot of them and sometimes they twinkle. Twinkle twinkle. That sounds like it could be a rap song. Could be and should be. Speaking of rap, what's that all about? Where did it come from? Well, scholars believe that it was started by the Italian Mafia in 1930 as a way to launder their money. It turned out to be such a profitable business that they stopped laundering their money and started pumping resources and manpower into the industry. Soon, others joined. Those others include the CIA, Walmart, The Ohio State University and Krispy Kreme donuts, among others. In 1972, a faction of extremists broke off from mainstream rap and formed hip-hop. From this hip-hop formed other genres, including jazz, pop, bluegrass, and gospel. As you can see, we owe a lot to rap. Almost everything. Thank you rap. Also, I don't much care for sugar-free drinks.
