Dick

I am a secret identity.

About Me

I'm a utilitarian realist with utopian ideals that I know will never be realized in my lifetime. This makes me sad. It turns me into a pessimistic nihilist and causes me to drink, drink, drink... and then I'm radically transformed; I'm an optimistic believer in humanity! The world just might be saved through music, art and dance! At last! At long last! Until I awake the next morning, bruised, cut-open, hungover, returned to form as a utilitarian aspirin-popper who just wishes the day would end, end, end... mercifully end.
For more "about me" go here.
