In his own words.....
"I'm a Libra. No an Aquarius, which I thought would be a water sign because well after all he is the water
carrier. The guy carries water! Has anyone ever heard of an aquarium? But I was recently told that he is
actually an earth sign as if that makes sense. Well one thing I've learned is that it is futile
to argue logically with someone who puts any sort of stock in that stuff.
Anyway I'm not sure what that all means. Probably nothing.
Well I grew up in a small town and fled for the big city as soon as I was old enough to go to
college. I dragged school out as long as I could (five years) and then migrated south two years
ago in the lovely month of May like some mixed up swallow
(European of course as African swallows are non-migratory.) With my belongings packed into my
Orange 1980 Toyota Carolla affectionately known as the Great Pumpkin I headed to Florida.
At the end of my journey waited Disney World where I quickly got a job and
rubbed shoulders with the likes of Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Steven Tyler, Forest Whittiker, a chain-smoking
Micheal J. Fox, a tense but really personable Tom Hanks, and a drunken John Denver
(pre-fatal-plane crash) just to name a few.
It was a great place to work. There’s nothing like seeing the joy
on those young impressionable faces as they see Goofy or Mickey for the first time.
I imagine that people doing relief work in third world countries must feel the same way. Too bad
they have to sleep in filth and do with out indoor plumbing to get their fuzzy feelings, and all
I had to endure was Its a Small World. But eventually I did return to more familiar stomping grounds
for the comfort of decent food and actual culture. But the ride back which I think of as my own
personal trail of tears had its casualty. The Great Pumpkin, which had faithfully served me for five years
sufferred irreparable injuries on the return. Sadly it was put out to pasture and sent back to
Japan in the form of a little metal cube.
My influences are Charles Foster Kane, Rufus T. Firefly, and the "agony of defeat" guy."
By the way folks if you want to do something really cool, try and get involved with your local Make A Wish foundation.
