I am here for Friends

About Me

was in a pop group www.myspace.com/myfavoriteforever am in a pop group www.myspace.com/friendsofthesecrethistory ____________________________________________________________ __ I grew up on Long Island and spent a decade taking polaroids of ugly things and arranging them until they were beautiful. I was a suedehead repairing the bindings on books at a seaside library. I followed Marcello to Rome, but then tumbled down The Spanish Steps. I threw myself in the Trevi Fountain but am yet to return. I followed Anna Karina to Paris, where she told me it was my life to live. I paid her, but kept my clothes on. I followed The Ghost of Joan of Arc to Rouen where the church was a gift shop, and the gift shop was a church. I followed David Bowie to London, but he ditched me and I spent the rest of my life savings on sushi that came round on a conveyer belt. I got lost in the woods. It was worse than you think. I wrote songs with my best friends and tried to hide them from the rest of the world, but Swedish kids found them. I ended up at the foot of the Hell's Gate Bridge. But now I'm walking on the sunny side of the street, that is when I'm not in shadow. I have a lot of things to say...but you know...it's hard to get the words right...so I go play pool with my accordianist, study baseball statistics at the Taqueria, watch french films, discuss socialism socially, engage in light bible studies. I'm more than open to making new friends/legionairres in the soulful arts...or drifting from bar to bar while waiting for your six part ghost story to unfold. I think there is something we were supposed to do before we lost our memories.www.myhopeandanchor.blogspot.com
