"What is there to look forward to when you've seen it all?"
Well, there's always this ...
I had tried to toe the line between self-serving hedonist and having found reasons to try and ameliorate my sociopathic tendencies, but I learned a harsh truth about hanging onto an inflexible mind-set in the face of a situation so grossly out of what I had always been used to. I don't dwell on any perceived mental disorders and I've learned to compensate for any fallacies I do have (and, as of late, shedding them entirely as outmoded). That's the thing I think I've found that separates us elder goths from the emo kids of today. So basically, yes, I've sold out to the over-arching man, but not to any one particular man and I'm still able to live my life however I want to and that's something you children need to learn.
I'm not a writer, but I do play the muse for some select people. I'm not an artist, but I do create better than most. I'm not a photographer, but I keep a camera in my glove box. I enjoy architecture, but I'm not an engineer. I can work latex and casting, but I'm not a sculptor or special effects artist. I'm a true jack of all trades, but a master of none. I'm a grifter with a heart of gold. I know these sound more like interests than a general bio, but I think an convoluted explanation of my conflicted nature reveals more than a monstrous run-on sentence about how I live with my attorney ... and ... and ... I totally p0wned your a$$ at halo.
I try to enjoy the trappings of a cultured existence ... The occasional trip to the sushi bar; A good evening of chamber music; Gourmet cooking (or at least my half-cocked attempts at it). However, I'm very much a realist and an endless cup of coffee, a pack of smokes, and either a good conversation or a good book will satiate me. I try not to buy into too much rampant consumerism and materialism, but is that even possible in this day and age? I'm convinced I was either a habberdasher or a cooper in a former life ... some atavistic occupation, and that's why I'm having such a hard time finding a place in life. But, I've gone off on a tangent, and don't want to bore you further.

An addendum:
I've taken to working like a bastard again, so don't look for me to be out and about for a while. This'll is another job like Lilliput where I'm picking up tid-bits for future use. But all will be useful in the hereafter. Take care all.
