This one is about my work life. Kind of an extension of my life growing up and in relationships in general, too. There was this feeling of unease, of being out of sync somehow or of being the new guy and not fitting in. Part of this I attribute to being a gypsy and part of it to being from California and part of it to being just me.

That was a cool revelation for sure but it wasn't enough to stop my self destructive streak and the build up of pressures from work, miscarriages and my tumultuous relationship with Tina.
