About
After six or so years of being on Gaia I'm finally admitting that I'm going to be less active. By that I mean I'll check in when I remember. I've met a lot of cool people here, a lot of people I'd want to met IRL, and all of them have disappeared because it's been too damned long. Thanks to all those people for being epic and I wish I could've said "good bye" to you properly. I'm sure that one of these days I'll either delete this account or give it to someone. It'll take a few years though. Till then, I'll hang out when I remember.I'm formally known as Daimin but got tired of using my real name on here so changed it. So there. Also: yes I am male even though my avatars may lean to the female or bi-gender or whatever. The girls have way better clothing options and it totally screws people up to see such a fem avatar with a masculine name. I decided to screw with more heads by making a bi-gender name. Cuz I like ******** with people's heads.
I'm was the lead singer of a band but the band's broken up. I still sing to my kids and I play guitar. I'm a Graphic Artist and working on an apprenticeship at a tattoo parlor. I'm the father of three: one boy and two girls.
I am considered by most to be GOTH, PUNK or EMO depending on what I'm wearing. I don't like labels or sterotypes. I'm just an artist who likes to wear a lot of darker colors (cuz I'm lazy and paint stains don't show so much) and I can be a bit "emotional"...but really who isn't?
Labels I DO USE to describe me:
Human
Tall
Black haired
Blue eyed
Caucasian
Greek
Italian
English
WARNING: Starting a debate with me could lead to you being wrong or being proven wrong unless you actually know what you're talking about. Also I tend to:
1) Argue with trolls for my own amusement
2) Argue with people who make assumptions or who want to get into a debate for my own amusement
3) Talk to trolls about meaningless things in their threads for my own amusement
4) Mildly troll on occasion for my own amusement
5) Correct people when they're wrong.... for my own amusement
6) Use sarcastic retorts for my own amusement
...
Generally I hang out in threads for my own amusement.
I will also randomly stop replying in a thread because:
1) The "argument" or "discussion" is getting no where
2) I got bored
3) Your argument is stupid and I can't explain your own stupidity to you any easier than what I had
4) I fell asleep
5) I had to log off to take care of my children or do some PG13+ things with my fiancee.
6) You don't warrent a response anymore
....
Choose one and go with it.
Apparently I'm a LD regular now. I'm also an LD irregular, a supporter of the "Painful Truth, Self-Harm Discussion and Understanding" thread, and a supporter of the "Single Parent Support Thread". My online friends are just as important to me as my offline friends, hurt them in anyway and I will do something about it.
I am professionally unmotivated and I have a case of selective procrastination. If you don't know what that means, well. You might catch me when I'm off duty when you comment, I'll explain then.
I am the man-twin of BrokenMirrorsNeverLie. That's right, man-twin.
I don't accept random friend requests. You have to actually talk to me and have a meaningful conversation with me to be my friend. And my definition of meaningful is totally different from everyone elses. Basically, if you amuse me and I am interested in talking to you, then yes, you can be my friend.
Any other questions about me are probably answered in my journal. Go there first. Furthermore, NO, I will not be posting pictures of myself or any of my spawn. Why? Because I don't like the idea of it.
