I'm a classic Italian Leo. Nuff said.
I'm playing at the Tugboat tomorrow night, it'd be great to see you if you can stop by! I've got a killing lineup: Lee Elderton, MST, Tom Garcia, Todd Bishop, Joaquin Toler, and myself. It's going to be a lot of fun.
Come out and just enjoy the show, or jump in and participate (liquid courage available at the bar!). Do you or your friends have something to share with us?
As Two Ships Passing in the Night As two ships passing in the night, So quietly neath the stars soft light; Our paths cross but now and then. Reaching out, seeking one another again
..
We say hello and then we part, Knowing we've shared a piece of our heart. Some friendships stay and sadly some go. My prayers remain steady hoping ours will grow.
I ache when you're hurting, I cry when you're sad. Wanting to comfort and hold you so bad. Know that I'm waiting here, with open arms, To share all your troubles and relish your charms.
..
I have nothing to offer but the soul of a friend, Strong shoulders to lean on that don't easily bend. I offer these freely with no strings attached, For in caring and sharing you'll not meet my match.
So on some long and lonely night When nothing seems to go just right Close your eyes and think of me, Under the moon's glow is where I'll be.
12 yr old version of the Closet Man, book he’s readin has major significance toward the mystery of who he grows up to become…
THE CLOSET MAN, WRITTEN AND CREATED FOR FILM BY MIKE DECKER.........TO BE FILMED AND DIRECTED BY DAMON PARSON......... Born without a chance to a prostitute mother and a bedroom in the closet this young individual will rise to become much more then whatever you think he is… In the beginning you think of him as dumb, slow, screwed up from childhood, haunted from his mother’s murder, and homeless other then, well, your closet… You’re scared of him because you never know which closet he may come out of and no idea what he’ll look like when he does, as his disguise changes with each closet he visits, and stalking you from the inside of your own home for up to weeks before he strikes! Later you mystically begin to realize there is more to this Closet Man killer then ever imagined and eventually chilled as you digest just how much more to him there really is, a story, a goal, and even an end game that is revealed in twist after twist up until the final twisted moment revealing the truth and making sense of all the previous twist and turns that baffle you right till the very end, leaving you breathless…
