    You know that famous pop star Bjork? You know she was almost murdered by this creep? Now the guy, his name's Ricardo, and Ricardo's only 16 years old when this story starts, and he's living in Hollywood, Florida. But Ricardo has a problem. He feels lonely and unsuccessful. So much so that he starts to feel angry toward the world, and these feelings really eat away at him. But then one day in 1991, he discovers something that's gonna change his life. He discovers Geena Davis. You know, the actress. She's in all kinds of movies during this time. So I assume he's watching her movies and he sees her, and he thinks she kinda fine, and he becomes obsessed with her. He feels like he loves her. But then as he's consuming media about her, trying to learn all about her, he discovers that she's going through a divorce with actor Jeff Goldblum. And for some reason, this taints the image of her in his mind, and he decides he doesn't like her anymore. I don't know, maybe he's not a Jeff Goldblum fan. I don't know. Regardless, two years pass, and it's 1993, and he's 18 now, and he's still got a lot of love and feelings to give, and so it happens again. One day he's watching TV and he sees this music video for the song Human Behavior, and that is when he notices the singer Bjork. Bjork is the pop star from Iceland whose career is blowing up during this time. And, you know, her music is actually pretty good.
