On the surface my memory was fine, although sometimes I did forget things. To my chagrin, I lost count of how many carbohydrates I had consumed in those deli market delights and that raised my blood sugar, which in turn altered my perception. The pastries were free, but I should not have consumed so many of them. I saw this tulip and I suddenly had a profound understanding that it was not good to get mud in your eye, so you might call this an epiphany of sorts.

Molly Ringworm formed in New Jersey as an alternative rock group made up of five guys that served a lot of detention together. The group broke up when Disco came on the scene and they all turned out to be respectful citizens becoming used car salesmen and politicians.
