"The Sunrise Guy" for another sunrise on Jupiter. There was a heavy haze hanging this morning. The Sun appeared 10 minutes after todays scheduled sunrise. It was late for the sky again. A computer malfunction somewhere in the Universe caused it be late. Hate when that happens. Hate when communications break down. But I want to tell you it was big, red, and mystical in the eastern sky and I caught its glow as the minutes went by. Todays sunrise was at 6:43 AM .

VOYAGE TO SALTAR
The Saga and Revelations Of My Journey Back Home

............Chapter One.....continues

I'm laugin I'm cryin I'm writing this book
Voyage To Saltar
And only see shades of gray this morning
But they dare not disturb the graves of my comrades lost aboard Starship Saltar 101
Or my my loved ones lost here on Earth

...I have experienced so many things here on Earth. How humans live, how they die, and how they shed there light. The mothers on Earth endure more pain than any man could endure. With there pain comes the birth of a living, breathing, body with a soul to carry on. A child that grows into the sunrise and follows there dreams wherever that dream may lead.
...Remembering back, I was 21, living in LA and I had big dreams. If I would have stayed there instead of returning to the East. I know those dreams would have come true. Just like I know now, if I stay on Jupiter I will be lost in another thousand Sunrises. My mission will not be reached and my story will lost into shades of gray. I want it to be colorful. Cartoon like. Luminous and Vibrant.
...When I left for LA when I was 21 years on Earth. I had $400 in my pocket and my heart and soul was filled with a million dreams. Now a quarter century later I will have 1 million dollars in my pocket and my heart and soul will be filled with 100 million dreams. My odds will be much better! I will continue my "Voyage To Saltar" and get there. I will simply be "Buying Time" and have the means to pay for the time. Nothing is free, not even time.
...When "The Sunrise Guy" came back from LA a quarter century ago he moved to New York City. My dreams were still as high as the sky. I moved in with my dear Aunt Alice who has left for Heaven over a decade ago. I worked at Macy's and hung out in Grennich Village. I had my first book written, "Penetration", and was selling it in book stores on consignment in New York. Countless dreams and careers after I settled down on Jupiter. Been here 15 years and still feel like I am on vacation everyday. And now it is time to go on another vacation.
...Going to California with an aching in my heart.
Gonna tell my Momma I'll be home soon
So she won't worry and she won't moan
Gonna find a woman she'll be all right
Bout' five foot four and warm as the Sun
She'll take me in her big fine house
And say hey ey boy it's gonna be all right
I'm gonna make you a movie star
And you can be my lover and that's just a start

HONEY WHERE IS THE KEY TO MY Hollywood Bungalow...........
