Erik Dabrowski
AS ENGSTRAND
Bobcat
Con Artist
On my Forty-Eighth year of life I realized two things. I am bot getting any younger and the path which lays before me is filled with colonoscopes and failed attempts to buy a motorbike in place of my declining Testosterone. The only thing I hold true is the mantra circulating through my mind.... Roll out of bed, Mr.Coffee's dead and the mornings looking bright. And your shrink ran off to Europe and didn't even write.And your husband wants to be a girl. Be glad there's one place in the world where everybody knows your name and they're always glad you came. You want to go where people know, people are the same. You want to be where everybody knows your name.... #thisisntbroadwaystopreadingbiosthatarefilledwithanexplanationofhowartsythesepeopleare also #thankyouforbeinghereitmeanseverything
