Todd, aka: Talansmith, or Slim Chance, depending on your sources, likes to sing, scream, whisper, bark, growl, moan, purr, and whistle...draw, paint, write, and sculpt...design, build, farm, and ranch...play 100 or one musical instruments, and tinker,topple, wiggle, and wobble...and not fall down. Is this the earth given us? I see nothing but asphalt, leading us nowhere.
My dad is a civil engineer, my mom is a classical pianist, and I walk a fine line as a big detail, abstract expressionist, cowboy poet, and home building floor sweeper.
Mostly do carpentry work these days, puncuated by occasional forays into the stage production business assisting audio/video/lighting installations. Sometimes perform in no-budget films, play guitar, and just stick by my guns and learn to embrace the riches of light.
My spare change is worth more than the federal reserve. Also keep an eye on the news. Read, a lot, maybe too much. (Sorry, GW, words aren't very useful when trying to describe something truthful.)
Grew up in an oil refining town and as a result have a healthy disdain of the petroleum industry and most all that comes with it; especially the flames, the guns, the politics, monster trucks, and all the shitty little sports cars. I like tractors and plow horses. Second hand smoke isn't what is killing you; it's an excessive reliance on third-world labor, digital/fiat money, and that gas guzzlin', entertainment addicted, credit checked, fat ass, whorin' office boy...
Sorry, ladies, I'm not gonna pick you up in a Porsche, but I'm not above renting a bullet-proof limo for a few prestigous hours. That's how we teach and get groovy at the same time. Now go learn some more. Peace out.

I've actually seen this shape in a UFO, or two of these shapes connected by a shaft, observing a gas well in Colmesneiel TX
