Now, as for some months (seven years in fact) i sought.. past tense i guess :-(
a sidekick, compañera, helpmeet, or just writing partner ...( because rural REQUIRES balance of sexes - another long story) never mind filmin partner
And have pleasantly liaised with dozens ! (on actual 'green' politics duty), i kindof know how to behave... and what the problems are.. the real version.
But i have done my time - 17 or 18 years in fact, on and off and on - proper city travel, even if as kid i knew my alcoholic father was dangerous (behind smiley artists mask ) and knew alcohol killed...so many, earlier than their time..and warped the families, i would have my lapses from avowed more or less teetotalism early 20s... and have wandered the Bowry drunk, alone..at 2 am...
Wandered (alone) the backstreets of La Pigale, Harlem, or even Moscow... a bit drunk... or even on something a tad more spikey... (all such behaviours ceased age about 26 for good - but the landloping around such further flung places, continued on and off )
And survivved...it all.... NEVER scathed - meaning never aggressed by anyone...i know how to keep away from trouble... always... how to walk away...how to be unseen, unnoticed..
