I am here for Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

a menopausal gay boy that lost his heart in two-thousand two to the city of new orleans…writes from time-to-time while drinkin’ his cheap white wine and smokin’ his parliament light cigarettes…walks the city streets with a camera always in hand…sunglasses worn in the daytime in the light and nighttime to protect from the ugliness…animal lover…sifts the thrift store racks and avoids the mall at all costs…only watches t.v. occasionally to slip into a lackluster reality…kiss-kiss
-----------------------------------------------------------
"We dance when there is no music, we drink at funerals. We talk too much, and live too large and, frankly, we're suspicious of others who don't...When you meet us now and you look into our eyes, you will see the saddest story ever told. Our hearts are broken into a thousand pieces. But don't pity us, we're gonna make it..." - a quote i found along the way on new orleans
