This is so amazing. This has made my day just a bit better. I have had a rough past couple of weeks. Seeing as that my best friend started tomorrow bully me. She has been my best friend for 12 years. She turned on me. She is mean. She is a fake friend. Everybody now knows this. She has posted about me on social media platform. Thank you for helping me. She has been threatening me to beat me and my twin sister up. I have ignored it but I can’t any longer. I don’t know what to do. Please tell me

Birth of a Political Junkie

Jane and I watching Psycho, soap operas,

Oblivious Trade Center buildings crumbling,

Falling. We sobered up in

One of Jane’s favorite spots, a biker bar

Horses lyrics: 'Johnny switch blades and ...' heard age 7 Rock music then banned for under 16th's am I an embarrassment, broken too young?. All dem old rock music albums put in the attic, kids not to listen to no more, til of the right age? What? 'Arabian Stallions....' 'Sea of Possibilities' eh?

Patti listened to this at the same time as 'Horses' album on different speakers, 'Dreaming in Technicolor' Age 7, Age 55, living in this world, present in it. What have I got? A question to an ancient 'But what would you do in this world with like aeroplanes? 'I bought you a jet plane babe', and I got Greta protesting private jets, pilots says planes are ruining the environment, Olaf Stapledon writing planes will end humanity as we know it, and spirit will rise from that devastation, 'Free Money! Please Free Money'. 'Little sister the sky is falling' stardust. Do you like flute?
