Inspiration I've filed away, has not forgotten about me today
Wheels had turned so many years, welling up unworthy fears
To live a lie or tell the truth, a neglected response, decades past youth
Wisdom, growth, life did grant - then flight to freedom came at last
Revealing truths shall always be, a path to the rainbow that is me
Never ashamed and never torn, accepting all with which I'm born
I love, I laugh, I pray and sing - not at all different from you I'd think
And so we march, forward with pride, and will love you friend - for what's inside.

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?
