What we struggle to construct to keep ourselves safe becomes our prison - materially, intellectually and emotionally.
And how about you, windsock, who's the guy in your avatar, and why Mr. Impossible? |
Cool!
My avatar is Andrew Broder, the multi-instrumentalist behind the band Fog.
Mr. Impossible, as I'm sure you're aware, is one of the "Mr. Men" books in Roger Hargreaves' series. I don't know why I like it very well. Maybe it has to do with him sort of signifying himself as Mr. Impossible, as in he can do the impossible (which obviously isn't true but an interesting sentiment nonetheless), or maybe it's caused he looks pissed off for no reason. It's probably just cause I like the aesthetic, as is with many of my internet avatars.
