“In the beginning god created the heavens and the earth and he said the earth is good. Then he created light and he said the light is good. After that god made land and the land was good. Then god made plants and animals and they were good. On the seventh day god rested. What people don't talk about is what god created on the 8th day you see he was feeling so rested and so good that god decided to make one more thing so god said "let there be Vincent!" and god said, "Awesome!" Vincent was so awesome in fact that god knew he could only make one and so now the legend lives.”                                  -Vincent M. Alvarez
