its been a minute since I was here living and loving it out side of babylon. I want to tell you all I lived the life for longer then most and became quite good at it. I settled down after my loast tour and although IO have put a few buses on the road since then most have ended badly without me on it. I miss this life, I miss who I was and what I felt each day/. over time I gave into what my family said, what people said and thought what my now ex wife said, she was fine bieng with the guy I was then, but give me a job a house rrsps and some financial succsess and she bailed out and pulled a gypsy on me taking me for all I have taking my road bred and raised kids and putting them in social housing..... life has sucked since I have left the highway, I am a slave now to babylon, something , if anyone , I should never have become I knew better, yet I became work out and thought I could change... to who you ARE be true!!!!! and dont settle cause babylon wears on your souls. yall who are living it know the truth as I did, and if any, I paved my own way.... I feel like an oggle to society now, never quite fitting in, even though I make the bread, have the house, the ex wife.... I hope this comes asa warning to any brother or sister out there still living the life thinking, maybve we should settle down, listen and I mean LISTEN!!!! follow what your heart says, itll e rough out there but if your doing something you LOVE, its worth it. the alternative .... man just live it till you cant and then try harder!!! my flat screen, boat, new renovations, pool hot tub, garden, art, car and job, they mean shit! my living room is filled with maps of my life or wheer I have been, of people who I have shared my journeys with.... thats WHO I FEEL IS ME, not this man who sits and types today a failure , and a sell out...... god speed gyspies, wanderers , seekers, and folk still alive... when the rest of us weary bastards sleep ...we dream of you
A few years back when I was more active on the forums I used to pop on and read your stories and random check ins. Oh how I longed to get on one of your buses. I was in school then. I took some time off and traveled around. Some RatDog tour and other music...a rainbow gathering...while it was short lived, I sometimes think of how inspiring I found you to be. I hope you find some balance in your life and that you can still smile and be happy. I don't think you're a failure. I'm sure the things you did were for valid reasons at the time of making those choices. I wish I could have said "screw it" and go for as long as you did. I started feeling guilty and went back to school. A lot changed in my life and now I fill that burnin desire with other people's stories. So, when you feel like you do now, please tell me your stories. Maybe it'll feel good to relive them. Everything from people you met to places you seen...I'll listen to them all.
HO Blink, an ya miss it an it's gone Can't say I don't have an inkling of the strange bitterness that sometimes we need to taste to realize we don't need to go there And in truth the chains are only those you accept Though sometimes our perceptions do not allow us to find our way out of a paper bag Have a meeting this coming week about selling the land....never though i would do that.....money sucks.....not having it the most. Did my time, kids are flying on their own, almost out of debt; and it's time to put the nomad back into the hermit and wind up the old lizzy agin an hie meself "back on the road agin" At least 1 more yeeeHah as we stroll out into the abyss. Blessings young fart....let it out....get beyond it ...move on love ya Namaste
