Despicable.
That’s what goes through my head when your name is mentioned.
Your name is bitter poison in my mouth.
I bet you sleep real cozy at night. Not a worry, not giving a fuck about what you did.
You’re satisfied with yourself, because I’m the one who got blasted,
Who got destroyed, who got tainted.
Because I’m the one who got painted.
Painted in bad light.
Drawn into a character who no one likes, the one who gets the short end of the stick.
And it really makes me sick
How you ended up being the one on top.
No bruises, no scratches.
You’re despicable, you know that?

Was I a Model in Japan?
During my time in Nagoya I worked and lived at the strangely famous hostel and café Nagonoya. With its chequered floors and florescent lighting it felt quite dated, but I think that was supposed to be part of the charm. The dorms were always fully booked on weekends with domestic tourists and there was always a buzz in the downstairs café. Camera crews were constantly in and out of the place interviewing the Japanese staff members who worked the café. I think it had something to do with the egg sandwiches. At least that was what was on most of the merchandise, except for that one dishcloth with the owner’s face on it. Was I being employed by a local celebrity?

A Hiatus Turned Reflection
No, I wasn't dead, nor fighting off some great mystical beast tyrannizing a group of villagers. To those who look forward to what I have to say, or to put it better, write, I am genuinely sorry for my disappearance from the Vocal platform and community.
