Oh fay,

I understand just what your saying, and you too Butterfly.

I guess what I'm feeling is - why me? The guy in question has lots of bar room friends, and some kids that he tells me never call him. I just saw that hungry look in his eye, and I knew that I wasn't going to be up for the job he had in mind for me. The energy just isn't in there.

OK, I'll give him a call, but I'm pretty sure that when he realises I'm not going to be the 'shoulder' for him, he'll move on anyway. It has always happened in the past. As I said in the first post, the few long term friends I have are people who didn't go too deep too fast - it took years to build up those relationships, a little at a time, slow and easy, give and take.

I've written a song about this kind of stuff, and I'll stick it in the creative section. It's one that I perform in the clubs, but you'll only get the words I'm afraid. It's called "Give me your troubles".

Thanks again, M
