Disheveled Hobo:

is the artist that you see walking past you in the street.

doesn’t believe in love, but believes in romance.

can’t always find his socks.

the rule of thumb, and an advocate to go against it.

is the belief that this world could be a better place, and only we can make that happen.

has a wonderful family that he calls his own.

has friends that rival with the best out there.

is invincible and completely destructable.

is the voices you hear in the far away woods, the echoes of thousands of years of angst.

writes about relationships between lovers and friends.

paints in pictures, now un written.

remembers thoughts of unidentified futures.
