I'd like to meet:

I am really just hoping long lost friends will find me and save me from growing old, but that probably won't happen. Or someone who can offer me a job that will make me very rich would suffice.Or someone who knows exactly where Margaritaville is: somewhere between the Port of Indecision and Southwest of Disorder--but no parallels of latitude or longitude mark it exactly... no passports, no rules, no waiting in lines, look for me at the bar beneath the palm trees on the edge of the turquiose sea where there are lots of stories and lies about how big the fish that got away was and no one gives a shit because the beer is cold and the margaritas are frozen....More people like these would also be nice...And anyone willing to wear the monkey suit...My nemesis--what could John Mayer possibly see in this Stepford Wife????© Hover Effects By POQbum.comLeave Me A Comment!
