I think you're a copywriter. But I'd never know it because this post is so damn confusing and poorly written that the only way I'll ever understand it is if I do three eight balls, pound a bottle of Jack, and smoke a qp of weed in a half hour, which you probably--hopefully--did while writing this. Hack.
