People who know they are on a collision course, but have something interesting to say before the impact because they know where they are headed. People with scars, tattoos, or any other markings of the years they have weathered but not self-inflicted distractions. People that aren't looking to be reassured that their beauty will escape time, that don’t believe unique snowflakes don’t melt every day, that creativity or intelligence aren’t necessarily express escalators away from destruction. I want to hear from tiny cogs in the machine that know they aren’t cut exactly right, but don’t apologize for the grinding when the teeth should mesh. Not that being different has any value in itself, and if you strive to be different you clearly can't be, but the tools that most have are not sufficient to cope with the blur of reality. What image are you painting with that blur?

"I dust a bit," Ignatius told the policeman. "In addition, I am at the moment writing a lengthy indictment against our century. When my brain begins to reel from my literary labors, I make an occassional cheese dip."
Cross-country explorers, people who pursue artistic expression above employment, those who know what they want to accomplish and take steps to achieve it every day.
