number 283 adieu phillippine

one trip to tokyo a while ago seems like a dream at times. i shared a room with 2 friends and i would wake up in the morning to one of them reading me excerpts from the motley crew biography, and the other telling me what i should and shouldn't wear. tokyo is a funny place, and when the 2 of them set off one afternoon to find things to fuel the party i couldn't help but say 'what do i do if you don't come back in an hour?' they both looked at each other 'dunno' they both said.

'be careful!!!!!'

so they of course returned, with the goods. more than enough goods for the small amount of time we had left in the city of flashing neon...it was a random night, and we knew that le baron had just opened in tokyo. the tribe of us entered. there was no one in there, and as we looked at the floor, a small man came up to us and put a large bottle of belvedere on the table...

'who the hell is that short dude?' 'dunno' we all looked at each other. oh well, drink it, i'll drink it it's free surely, lil ben and i said sub consciously to one another. while we slowly pieced the pieces together, and worked out that this was the beginning of one clever mans large step to internet fame and fortune, a camera came out...this man with the leather jacket and french accent was willing all of our first sexual encounters out of us on film, while fueling us with more of what ever type of liquid we really wanted.

as adieu phillippine played in the back ground, and i had divulged my story to the camera, the words 'hotel l'amore, more like hotel la bore!!!' not only spewed from my fellow room mates mouth, but so did a large whack to the head of pepe le pew's slicked head...god, how the hell are we going to get out of this one, when we are meant to be working this dude to get some sort of international cred.

early 2000 was a good time. no one knew anyone, the cobra snake did not exist and adieu phillippine played in the back of a tokyo club that was once completely empty...

number 275 thunderbolts from the planets

bb and i went on an adventure to hear what the planets had to say about our lives. on a train we got, up to the mountains, closer to the cosmos wondering what this person was going to tell us. reminding ourselves, this was not fortune, this was planetary and potentially way scarier than some lady burning candles telling me i was waving at someone behind a big wall and that i was going to come into a LOT of money (found no big walls to wave behind, and no money in sight yet).

someone used to tell me that i had a total sting - i have been convinced my moon sign is surely something passive, because i DO NOT ring true to the traits that are often given to my sign of birth...jealous, dark, secretive non forgetting, POWERFUL! not me.

i walked in with blue skies surrounding me. as she told me that all possible signs (most of which are dispersed among the 12 houses when you are born), were in the one 12th house, i was like what the hell did that mean??? she was silent looking right at me, and i was busy concentrating on not to do crazy weird body language to block any energy or give away any dark signs. AND then the skies turned black and a huge bolt of lightening crashed outside, i was like, hmm, what is she going to tell me next!!!?

'double scorpio i have never seen anything like this'..yikes, i am screwed.

well, it's all there. no knight in shining armor just around the corner, but she did say lucky i wasn't a man and maybe i should have been a cop...but a detective kind of cop.

i have been practicing saying 'stick em up buddyo' (bb kindly reminded me that is what the robber says, not the cop)...

sorry - waiting is not the best. just waiting for something good or fun to happen.
