Self Portraits

In the process of trying to update my web presence over the past few days, I've had to confront a bit of my own personal history in recent years.

I hope I never work the night shift ever again.

I went through some old photos of myself from the past few years, and I could see this period of decline during the time when I had little contact with dayshift humanity.

It looked like those before and after shots they use for anti-drug messages. Somehow I gained weight, got paler, shaved less, and got much less kempt in general. The good news is I think I'm starting to get back to being myself again.

I put a few pictures of me on mustseeradio.com just because that's what I was working on, and, well... what else am I going to put there. Let's just say there is a time gap in the pictures.

I seem to do best when I have a forum for self-expression. More specifically, the difference seems to come inside my own head when I feel like I have given myself permission to say what I think and come to my own conclusions.

I like Classical Music. However, the ordeal I've gone through recently has made me really sick of it. Not necesarrily sick. There are just so many kinds of great music in the world. If I have to listen critically to any one type of music all day long, I will probably crave a change before long. That's why hip-hop sounds so good on the drive home. It is good in a way that doesn't require you to sit silent and motionless while you listen.
