Walk on down the hall~!!

happy new year!!

its been a while since i last posted anything since i was away for about 2 weeks.. wow.. cant believe tat 2 weeks is over just like tat.. after a prolonged period of eating excessively and drinking excessive amounts of wine nite after nite.. i'm finally home and dry.. been nice visiting my brother and his partner in london.. and then going for a very enriching trip to paris and also.. pay a visit to the lizard king at the pere lachaise cemetary.. walk on down the hall~!!

having said that.. the visit was strangely anti-climatic.. after walking around aimlessly in pere lachaise for quite a while.. we were finally able to locate the gravestone that looked ordinary for someone who used to be the top of the heap amongst reptiles.. not tat morrison would have wanted anything grand or elaborate for this purpose but its just very subdued.. quite unlike the colorful character tat he was when he was alive.. you'd think tat having made so much money out of the morrison legacy.. the surviving members of the doors.. the morrisons and the coursons would build a more elaborate shrine to the man for his millions of fans around the world to visit.. but noooo.. its all about the money i guess.. when the lizard king was alive.. his father refused to acknowledge him.. but they are now very protective of his rights and images.. for it roll in the bucks for them.. a nice pension fund from a deviant son..

and as a fitting tribute to the ways of the chicak king.. we stayed in a little hotel in the seedy streets of pigalle in paris.. its actually unintentional but it adds a nice touch to the morrison effect of the trip i guess! hahahahaha...
