I think Hunter Thompson unknowingly wrote a bit about me:

 

"Not much of what he said was original. What made him unique was the fact that he had no sense of detachment at all. He was like the fanatical football fan who runs onto the field and tackles a player. He saw life as the Big Game, and the whole of mankind was divided into two teams – Sala's Boys, and The Others. The stakes were fantastic and every play was vital – and although he watched with a nearly obsessive interest, he was very much the fan, shouting unheard advice in a crowd of unheard advisors and knowing all the while that nobody was paying any attention to him because he was not running the team and never would be. And like all fans he was frustrated by the knowledge that the best he could do, even in a pinch, would be to run onto the field and cause some kind of illegal trouble, then be hauled off by guards while the crowd laughed."

-- Hunter S. Thompson - The Rum Diary

 

To refine that: I'd like to think that I do say quite a bit of original stuff, or at the very least re-invent communication through independent discovery. Then again, I'm using a quote as a means of describing myself. I also like to think of everyone being on my team in some extent... and not really try to be against anyone... but I do oppose certain ideologies with a pretty clean division between myself and them. And in some ways, I'm still deluding myself into thinking that some of what I say or do may eventually have meaning or accomplish something worthwhile.

 

What I believe means a lot to me. Integrity is very important to me.

 

That is the updated me for now.
