RE: A Search for an Identity

in #life7 years ago

A lot of this sounds familiar, and I can relate, I always wonder what kind of content I am, or should be creating here. I think if I have an identity, or a description of what I offer to steemit, I might call it a uniform inconsistency, with persistent variety but hopefully entertaining. Maybe I'm an opportunist, posting about whatever pops onto the screen and makes itself handy to me. I don't think it's an effective business model, but I'm really here to play, not work. It suits me to be a variety page-- it's how I am anyway. It would stink to have an audience if they demanded that I always post photos, or that I always write fiction pieces, or any pidgeon-hole imaginable, I prefer the freedom of movement-- ya can't hit a moving target!

At first glance I was scrolling down and saw your graphic 'Life Imitates Art', and I read it as "LIFE Imitates RAT", which might be like a peek into my psyche so I'll change subjects: Flags? Those are potent mind-control devices, it's good that you are questioning any allegiance to one, I think. Those things actually encourage a sort of group-think, or gang mentality, to the extent that individuals can be persuaded to do rotten things based on a single flag's presence.

This is happy birthday to you: part two!

Sort:  

This was actually posted on my fiancée's birthday haha! Uniform inconsistency, I like it! I guess that's how I view myself as well, but the difference is I haven't acknowledged it the way you do. I just hope that my acceptance of it would elevate my engagement to the same level that you operate in. You can't hit a moving target indeed! That is, if your opponent doesn't have homing missiles. In that case, I, for one welcome our new overlords.

LIFE imitates RAT! Now that's something to behold! We should indeed follow the rat. It's able to scavenge for food and live in the most derelict conditions. Yet, it doesn't get discouraged by its lot in life. We should all be more like rats haha! :D

So that was an appropriate 'happy birthday' to the fiancee, too, I hope you had good one(s) ;)

Rats would do well just about anywhere, and I was born in the year of the rat, so this all works for me!

Definitely tiring, but ultimately rewarding :) Oh wow! Didn't the rat win the zodiac race? My fiancee and I are dragons, so we're cool with it ;)

I did not know there was a race, but I would almost expect the rat to win if there was one.

You know, right after I replied to you about this yesterday, as I was walking outside the house, soaking in the sunset, I came across a a rat, chasing after a cat, of which it was the same size of. Good times.

lol that sounds like a rough neighborhood! "Gimme back my cheese ya bastard, I stole it fair and square! Man, you can't trust anyone!"

I live in the province, so I guess anything goes. Maybe they found some meteorite somewhere and decided to have a go at it. Screwy food chain here, I tell you!
