6:53 pm
a crime he didn't commit. and i thought ok i'll play into your ego because i really wanted to know how the fire started and i thought how can i ask this question how can i get this information from him without him. lying to me i said because you are just so incredibly smart you outsmart them he goes because they're a bunch of dumb asses like ok. because it was easy because you take a lit cigarette it will come back to fit in the boat. behind the couch and that i walk down the street 30 minutes later a place goes up in smoke and they can't connect me to the crime. i didn't expect that. i was just absolute shock. i thought i am married to satan himself. she's
