so i was hungry very hungry i had to use the bathroom and in hindsight maybe my housing was somewhat temporary yet thrilling (right in the vcu campus with a fire escape) and i was developing alcoholism so i had friends who somewhat believed in me (lots of connections who'd respond sometimes) when i had my manic dreams of becoming successful there was the richmond moments (my army field jacket my levi's girl pants my borrowed marine band hoehner harmonica um my laptop and the couch) um not having all the equipment (or time) not making it in different hobby industries um a artschool drop out previously unpaid loan but i was a business major and things seemed to always miraculously land on their feet like a nimble pet cat with keen instincts
