...really...i just want to fit in.
i'm almost 34 and have that sinking sensation that the zenith of my life was when i was drunk and passed out on a beach in thailand over 7 years ago. settling into domestic bliss with my beloved fiona, but amidst my third gin and tonic i can't help stare out to the horizon wondering where those wild things and lost boys went. so then i scream and kick at the darkness and improvise a better world full of unicorns, mexican wrestlers,a nd whimsical men in hot air balloons for myself to stop the unrelenting doubt the gathers like mildew on the shower door of my self confidence.
and i like boobies.
zing.
