What should I say when there is sooo much to be said...Living in Los Angeles in the valley...oh hell, not the real valley, San Gabriel Valley. The damn hot one with all the asians lol, love em to death!!! I know it isn't where I thought I would ever call home but in some strange way it has become mine and then some. It's what I'm used to living in purgatories that are neither heaven or hell but just there for me. I'm truly loving it though, never felt more alive. Somehow living outside of LA makes me appreciate it even more even if the commute sucks going into and leaving the city. For those who have known me as Johncifer, I've evolved into the new and improved Fat Tuesday and that was one hell of a ride and not even sure if it's over!! For all of you that don't get it, here's an explanation in the brief form: Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday and since I'm from Louisiana, a friend of mine dubbed me Fat Tuesday. I loved my first page but for some reason or another it was taken down for fraud and I waited too long to identify myself so it was deleted. I was hurt, but hell, now I get to start over and starting over is always fun but a scary place because you never know where that start will end. For all those that knew me back then, I've grown a lot since then and hopefully my new page will reflect growth, truth, maturity, and most of all light-heartedness. Besides, I don't play with the devil as much, trying to lay low and stay out of soo much trouble. I'm not as out there anymore, still a smartass just a lil more reserved. Who da hell am i kidding???? lol im still me...deal with it!
