Steve0..A question looking for a reason. Mongering for 35 years? Vacuos meaningless activity for 35 years? Why? Don't you think it would have been better if you came out of the closet as a young man? You prob could have enjoyed your life and not become dependant on the meds

Frank0....you don't know me and I like it that way. The truth is that 35+ years is short changing....my 1st paid piece was in Frankfurt West Germany in 1970 while stationed in Wiesbaden. Have there been moments of mighty love in between? None of your business. Have there been moments of mighty defeat? None of your business. Etc.

http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Man+In+The+ ... 47iQ?src=5I'm not a happy guy
But I'm not always sad
And I'm no millionaire
But I don't do so bad
But no matter who you think you are
There's always someone with a different view
There's always someone who thinks he got a right to say what's good for you
So how do you know that the man in the street don't care
And why don't you care when the man in the street don't know
I'm not a clever guy
But I'm sure not that dumb
Don't have the inside view
But I know what goes on
One thing I do know and am certain of.....I DO see the forest for the trees and my vision of life is crystal clear; I'm not fooling myself with ambiguous and out and out dreaming; I know where I've been (pretty much); I don't know where I'm going. I've got the balls to own those pieces of reality. Do you.....EyeTallion leather jacket and fashion statement goggles included.....?
Why don't you just keep wearing the Custom EYEtallian leather jackets with the fashion statement goggles; make them fake, bogus runs to wherever the hell it is you go, and get the f u c k off of my cloud?

It's obvious your own divorce was so embittering it left you crippled and failing. In a word: Vacuous. That's on you and your sense of alienation from the means of production. I know where my own failures started, began, and ended just as I know where my successes began, took off flying, and crashed. I don't K*D myself as Candide over and over that "This is the best of all possible worlds.....". I KNOW I've got it better than most....it's controlling the "I want more" part that is the challenge. Run along now. Be sure to wear that Eyetallion, custom fit, fake leather jacket and them fashion statement goggles......they complete your image......
Oh....and one last thing....remember....I pay them to leave......not to f u c k.
