I Wasn't Born to Follow

About Me

I find myself at the Ohio State University trying to get an art degree after following the girl of my dreams. I am very much an audiophile. Right at this very moment I am listening to "Cowgirl in the Sand" by Neil Young from the Live at Massey Hall album and it is utterly beautiful in every single way.Certainly, John and Cyn had little more than familiarity left to give each other. There was Julian, of course, but John was hardly an attentive father. He left the parenting to his wife, along with most other household responsibilities. Days went by in which they barely exchanged five words between them, even when living - or rather, coexisting - under the same roof. John was aloof, uncooperative, disappearing into the music room for hours on end or staring hypnotically at the television until he passed out from fatigue. Paul, who seldom saw John during this time, remembered encountering him once in London and asking what he'd been up to. "Well, watching telly, smoking pot," John replied.
