I walk the darker path that many fear to travel. I do not see my way, I feel my way, and many times I stumble. But that's okay for the more I fall, the more I learn, and eventually I can skip the trouble. The darker path is the longer path, but it makes all worth while. The brighter path is easier and hence it is more traveled. But also it is crowded and filled with confused people. I move among the shadows for the shadows move with me. It is quiet here and I can hear the woods around me. They speak to me and tell me things that none could ever hear in the light. I do not ask you to join me on this darker path, until you are ready. It is not for all, for some can not bear the falls. Please take your time and prepare yourself if you wish to travel. The darker path is there and will be there when you are able. If you do not wish to walk with me, then don't try to understand. Just accept me as I am, and move it a litte further along down the line.
My free time is usually consumed by making loops into music and the occasional writing.  I don't render anymore and my photoshop skills have been lately confined to business.  My true art lies in my soul with my music, which I document as regularly as I can at my website: http://www.van-dan.com (absolute lunacy, just realized I had changed the text of the link, but not the link itself, it still pointed to the old site. Just updated it to point to the correct site, lets see how this goes!) Facebook too! Stay tuned, insanity to pursue.

--edit of Dec 2, 2010--
Usually I have to go back every once in a while and change my descriptions as my perspectives on life change over time, but the above was written over 3 or 4 years ago and I can't change it. It fits fairly well. All I really did was remove an outdated reference to MySpace, and update my URL to my new homepage.
I also wanted to add a link to my completed album, Flight of the Airlynx, of which the mp3's are freely available to download but you can buy the professionally produced album from CreateSpace: https://www.createspace.com/1823112
It should be available on Amazon as well, but I actually earn a few extra dollars if it sells through my direct store since Amazon takes a larger commission.

In the past when I have felt exactly the same.........I took long walks in my favorite cemetary. It allows u to c what u still hav and all that u can still make of it. U do hav a gr8 future - u still exist to build one. If she is still ur wife, show her this. As a woman alone I wish he could hav shared more than he ever did. Keep writing ur words - they r powerful and can eventually set u free. Go catch ur reflection - what a beautilful 'ghost' u'll c !

I read what you had to say...I'm confused at this point to wonder if this is a poem or a cry for help. Drinking intesifies problem - you're a drinker, you know this to be true. Your problems lie in your own hands. One, ween off your drinking. If beer is your choice, 2 beers per day for a month... even when you don't want it. At the end of the month cut down to one a day - even if you don't want it. In two week from then it will be six weeks since you started this venture...evaluate your life. What did you feel when you didn't want the drink but you drank it anyway? Stop disbelieving in your wife. If she's going to cheat, she will...But you can show her a better you a more IN CONTROL you. The thoughts of your wife cheating and questioning her cheating WILL take a toll and if you persist in believing she's cheating - it will happen. What do you want from her? Trust? Trust is what she wants in you. If she is with you, it's not too late to get in control of yourself - you need yourself more than anybody... and once you find yourself, you will find the power of control. YOU CAN CONTROL WHAT YOU FEAR... you choose to fear or choose control - it is your choice and yours alone. Remember: Love lives, Love dies... FEED YOUR LOVE... Drinking will only poison it. This message will not self distuct in 10 a seconds, and it is not worth reading without belief, believe in yourself my friend.

There is never equality in love, one partner always loves more than the other, even if it is just a tiny fraction. That isn't the problem though - the problem lies in thinking that we deserve happiness simply by being ourselves. We don't - we have to work at it and earn it, hard though this might be. Nobody said that life should be fair, and we have to accept that as a 'given' fact. First, my friend, you have to learn to love yourself, then you'll be lovable. Don't put yourself down - your writing shows you're worth more than that. Take care Mike

This reads like you are thinking out loud. A form of writing I happen to enjoy. An explosion of thoughts. Organized ramblings of our minds and hearts. If this isn't written on actual events.....extrodinary work. If is is....it is still extrodinary. Adding...People tend to see life through their own eyes. Think about that....then go back and read what you've written. Might I ask, why would you write this on myspace "hoping" for her to see. When you can look into her eyes and tell her yourself? Personal should be done in person. Drop your defenses and hear what she has to say instead of feeling what she is saying. And vice versa. Maybe she is waiting to hear this very personal part of yourself. I have to wonder at this particular part "Drunk alone again." I didn't take that to mean you are drunk as in inebriated. I took it to mean you are drunk with loneliness. I may be off the mark. It feels as if you are frustrated, alone, a tad depressed and to make matters worse your muse has taken a vacation. Like any relationship, whether it be friendship, marriage,parent etc..even divorce....takes work and the effort of both parties wanting it to be successful. Things didn't go amiss overnight and it won't be cured overnight either. Good luck to you....and many blessings.
