thoughts, and not afraid to give it
all up and -- what the hell -- move to
Paris, like he's some badass black
american expatriate writer or
something like that. Well, he is.
permission to call him miles pie quite yet,
but permission is for suckers...
miles pie is fantabuloso, fly, and pretty much
the master of most things. he says " you
know?" alot as if most people run at the
same speed that he thinks.....love it!
xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
testamonial cherry!!! I met miles over
fried chicken and scrabble and kicked
his motherfucking ass- why? 'cuz he let
me....Now he is initiating me into the
fold- a better teacher could not be
bought for all the breast implants in
Miami. So miles is the best and miles
is the best and miles is the best.
Tahiti this year!
