Alter(ed) Ego - Who I really am

~Hello all!
James Jaspers here, communicating with you all on this "weblog" for the first time. I've allowed my good friend and acquaintance to use my name, but feel it's about time I addressed you as myself. I too am an artist (better than my friend, I feel), and a student teacher, though that's just for now. As for later, well, let's see how well we get to know one another first.

On that note, I'd like to share a few things about myself. I like to be quite open, so feel free to avert your eyes if you're a tad squeamish:

Very little makes me feel guilty, and I'm only embarrassed by what I get caught at. My artwork is my life, and I am only truly saddened when the ignorance of the masses dismisses it. Similarly, I can be quite gregarious, but the human race and their desire to self-destruct is often what infuriates me the most. I love to laugh at life's ridiculousness and the self-importance of my fellow humans. My art and my success are all the comfort and worth I need, though the conventional, base human desires continue to thrill me at every turn. Sex, parties, (sex parties), nightlife, anything new or dangerous or shocking is where you'll find me, and damn the consequences.

I sport a number of features that set me apart from my fellow "man" - I'm quite fit and of slight build, with rather angular features that I'm quite accustomed to. I've been known to be playful and daring, sometimes mercurial and irreverent, and have even been accused of being arrogant and unethical. But, of course, who isn't? An outspoken idealist with a touch of exhibitionism, I revel in the hedonism afforded a man in my position and have no qualms about taking what I want when I want it.

Oh, you'd like to hear some more? Well, I am a male of extremely mixed heritage with relatives few and far between. Dietarily, I am a pescatarian with a penchant for good, crisp bacon on lettuce - after all, what good are rules if you can't break them? Politically, I am quite liberal and feel that religion has no place in any publicly-run institution, nor in most peoples' private matters. I adore all sorts of music and technology, but am quite choosy in what I consider to be art - of course, I have to judge all comers based upon my own lofty achievements. I create my own fashion and will rarely be seen in public unless I'm quite ready to be photographed. Beyond that, life is my education, the world is my classroom, and all of you miserable peasants out there are merely pawns on my checkerboard.

Now, I'm off to another all-nighter. Cheerio, little people!
