My Bio
Tall, dark and something-whichever-whatever.
Happily employed as a digital hydrographer.
In my spare time, I enjoy long walks, animated conversation, playing piano, and trying to figure out this 'Life' thing...
I love the music of J.S. Bach, Camille Saint-Saens, Benny Goodman, [some] goth/symphonic rock, and bits of soundtracks. And lots else.
I also love "no-cost" visionary projects, grassroots idealistic movements, and puppies. (Such as my 13-year-old arthritic cantankerous grey-muzzled mutt, Jack.)

Things are less & less a surprise. It all fits really, REALLY well with this running theme in life... you know, when you have a favourite author who you can identify by a few lines... It all feels like life. Life. Nothing shocking. Nothing really different. Conveniently dumped a week before Valentine's Day... I don't know that I even feel a difference; maybe just another wall between myself and someone else. (Nameless, in respect.) (Though, she dumped me... so... maybe I shouldn't worry about slander.) (?) Work is still good... my apartment is decent... my family is distant, and occasionally I feel like I'm beating my head against a wall.

Re: resolutions of the New Year, they're more-or-less holding. I sold my PSP, donated my XBOX 360 (& an ass-load of games), and I've only played X3: Terran Conflict on my PC TWICE in 2012. Is that good? I've taken an entire day and devoted it to art... Art comes when I NEED IT. It's my coping mechanism, cure-all, and warm hug & hot chocolate. It's my anti-bully ointment. It's my heartbreak stitching. I haven't found hope or any replacement, except that I keep digging. Cartoons help me shrug off the emotional and spiritual fatigue. For instance - - someone objected to me a while back. Loudly. In a very jarring tone. Unprovoked. I've finally
