Performance Report

The show went fabulous, I did two pieces, the one I told you all about in the last post and one of my favorites, "Love at first sight", which I will bless you with at the end of this blog, along with an audio version. The night was bittersweet, but I am too emotional right now to even touch that, but someone will be missed, even though he will be returning with great stories, many that I will be transcribing to the world Project:Roam, and coming back to me...... Thanks for listening and reading,...

I ain't buying the fight the power act..... love,...

Just a test , tell me if you like it!You dont know me from the guy picking his nose in the car across from you but I am you. Today marks one week from the day that I will be homeless and unemployed in the worst economy since the great depression and riding around the country oh hope and God's will. Why? Cause I have to. For both of us. This is the essence of the adventure I will embark on...oh wait...who in the world am I? Elliot Axiom and I think I'm a poet, we will soon find out if I'm any good...
