Detagged

Dear Tim

I see that you have detagged yourself from all of the old photos from Songfest, etc that I placed on the site. I didn't mean to embarrass you or cause you undue slander but I understand your current lot in life might not have a place for the innocent frivolity that took place when we were in college. Of course, I'll always hold those memories dear but if you have moved on from them, I understand and have taken taken the liberty of striking them from any public record. I won't bother to include any more evidence of your days as the director of GLBTA since you have clearly moved on to a more refined set of social status. But thanks for the memories while they lasted. I'll always cherish our time together and the significant role you played in my life at the time . Time does move on. Some of us are better at accepting it than others. If I had aaken a different path, maybe I wouldn't be so intent on trying to bring back to life something that died a long time ago. But I won't feel sorry for trying ti acknowledge those yeas and do justice to their important role. Because they happened. Even if you'd prefer to wash your hands of them. If I see you on the street, I can pretend I don't know you, if that's what you'd prefer. I didn't mean to haunt you from the past. I was just reaching out to save my soul because I had forgotten who I was or if I ever existed. These yeas have taken their toll and all I wanted was to innocently reminisce and laugh at the fun we had being chaunch. Congrats on your success doing whatever it is you;re diong. I won't bother you again with the pitcutres. But thanks for reaching out once upon a time ago. Like it or not, you did change my life once and for that I will always keep you close to my heart.
Just keep me on the radar and cut me some slack. I may not be as fancy but I'm still alive and trying to eke out a goal and do my best to being my education and potential to justice before my brief path catches up with me and its too late
love mta
Fight on dear friend.

Good God Michael, ease up. I'm interviewing and have prospective employers looking at my sites... I'm just trying to keep it clean and removing any drag or inappropriate photos. I've removed a bunch of my own as well. I embrace my past, and love the memories, but choose not to live in it.

You'll never be forgotten or dismissed by me my dear. I'm glad to have met you.

Now, for a 90 second Grey Gardens trailer...go to Drewbarrymore.com and find the clip. Airs in April. Michael just showed me a rougy cut on Saturday...amazing.

Loving. XOXO T

Dear Tim Darling
I know you didn't mean to imply that I live in the past so I won't take it personally. I know you were merely trying to make a point and it was well taken. The only reason I was dragging out ancient photos is because after 16 or so years of never hearing from any of you, followed by a blast of reunion within a couple weeks, I was overwhelmed with the
"good old days of college" and decided to revel in the rosy glow of the revisionist past.
I respect your professional life and have always admired you as a role model so anything you do will lead me by example.
I may be a bit histrionic and over think simple matters but that's just my Virgo side.
Thank you for the link to DrewBarymore's site. I have registered for it and have been poring over the GG material. Thanik you for passing that on and tell Michael S that I am so glad he didn't ask "Julie Christie to play Edith Beale because although (I'm paraphrasing Edie now) I'm not saying she's not a splendid actress but if anyone's going to play Edith Beale it's going to be Edith Beale or as Mr. Maysles suggested Ethel Barrymore but she's dead so Drew's the next best thing. Isn't that grand? Now if only Mother hadn't made her leave the Barbizon she could have been a countess. Countess Edith. Biut I digress. Blame George Gould Strong and the Marble Faun.

love you dear. I'm glad you're still on the radar of my life. We go way back.
love mta
