About Me

Cats like me have a low life expectancy, so we tend to put all we can into all we got. They can steal all our property and possessions, incarcerate us, beat us or even kill us - they will then only have our dead bodies, never our obedience. We live odysseys, eternally in search of our Ithacas to rule over and Penelopes to kill for. We do not live in fear of consequences - we live for the consequences. Religion is in us; not the hollow, weightless religion of those afraid to go to hell - but the substantial, formful religion of those who have already been. We are not critics - we despise them, we spit on them; we are doers - of those that have spent their lives in the arena.Our freedom is in our ability to say 'Fuck you' to those that try to suppress it and carry on as if they never existed... Rebel souls and deserters we are called... They'll judge us regardless - we're already disavowed.
