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 All I really did was remove an outdated reference to MySpace, and update my URL to my new homepage.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.

"They" are all over the place. But it doesn't matter, because "they" just aren't important.

Experimental: At MY age, I can only HOPE someone thinks that "I" am WORTH watching. GRINS. As for passing 'silent' judgement, I say as long as it's SILENT, OK by me. SMILES. As for 'shivers', I fondly recall the last time that happened to me. Somewhere back in the 1970's? WINK. As for 'they', a mighty FUN bunch, aren't THEY? MORE SMILES.

They are wimps and cowards, not worthy of the power of fear we give them. They are insecurity and projected neurosis. Sometimes, They are Us, so afraid of what we see in the mirror, that We try to stamp out anything that doesn't bow down the wounds our egos inflict on themselves. They are pitiful things--hens in a coop, passing judgement on themselves so that they don't have to think about the fox outside. When we face Them, we see ourselves, and sometimes (most times, actually) we see that They aren't so bad, so maybe They, quite simply, need either a handshake or a hug. I like what you've written here...it evokes a lot of thought (and discussion.) I like the image, and yeah, I'd use it as a desktop too. If something gives you a good shiver down your spine, the least you can do is put it on your desktop and pat yourself on the back and go: "yeah, that rocks!" Even better if you meet one of Them, and s/he gives you free beer.
