What song says something about you?
Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble, when your perfect in every way. I can't wait to look in the mirror, I get better lookin' each day....some say that I'm egotistical. Hell, I don't even know what that means. I guess it must have somethin' to do with...

Anybody stop using power conditioning?
