A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

My loving wife just broke the bad news to me about Ozzy Osbourne's death. I've been busy working.
Such a monumental loss to the world, to music, to everything. I was devastated I wasn't able to go to his final show, it sounded amazing.
