I look on life as a joyous adventure.

My mom always said that if the Protestants catch a Catholic in their church, they feed them to the Jews.

I was born 'Harmony,' and it was weird because when I was a little kid, I was picked on so much that when I was 13, I changed my name to Harmful. I thought it was a tougher name, so I had it legally changed.
