  I decided to deep six the old one, it was Donald Sutherland from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". To be honest, it even creeped me out. Maybe it was a defence mechanism to keep people at a distance . .

  Anyway, I hope you like my new one, it is much more *me*.

  I present to you . . . Mr. James Marshall Hendrix, a free spirit if there ever was one, a musical genius who changed the way the guitar is played forever. A genius who was consumed by the industry that gave him his success. He made me realize, in 1967, when I was 14, that there was creative genius out there, that the Borg was not all there was. He woke me up to the beauty of musical expression and poetic prose. I sincerely believe that that awakening way back then was crucial to me being where I am now, out and free.

  He was a catalyst.

  A nice avatar that is full of symbolic significance for you, there certainly is a lot of creativity going on in the world, in fact it's the WTS that lacks creativity and has a very dull and boring culture.

  Changeling hit F5.

  I am so glad you changed it. The Donald Sutherland one always freaked me out. I remember that scene from the movie and could hear the scream in my head.

  I like the new one much better.

  Hendrix was instrumental in my formative years in that he wasn't afraid to break away from convention, musically and in self expression, both of which were rather inspirational to me.

  You should have mine really, considering your name. Go on you know you want to.

  I loved your old avatar. I remember watching that movie as a kid. It's still one of my all time favorites.

  Changeling i pressed F5 and the new avatar showed. I used to like the black and white bodysnatchers film, i saw the Donald Sutherland once and it freaked me out, esp at the end. I'm just a big scardey cat!
