A New Post Finally

So, I'm sitting at work and I'm the only one in here and I feel that it's time to update this thing. I would like to talk about alter egos. I have recently decided that my alter ego is a warrior from the Land of Pak named "Lux the Conquerer." Now, anyone who reads this knows that I'm about as far from a pseudo viking warrior as one can get. Yet, I truly have this secret desire to burn and pillage (but not rape of course, because rape is bad.) Well, ok maybe not burn and pillage but start a revolution, you bet your ass I do. So, I have, with a little help from some friends, created the alter ego of Lux the Conquerer.

I also am working on creating my alter ego of Jack Benimble. Jack Benimble, will be my drag alter ego. He is an orphan in London at the turn of the twentieth century whose works as a paper boy, but has the secret desire of performing in Music Halls, so at night he sneaks into the closed halls and performs to empty theatres. In order to successfully accomplish making this persona I have to work out a Cockney accent, find an outfit, and frankly learn to perform.

So why do we (I'm assuming we although frankly I could be the only crazy person who wants alter egos) desire an alternative persona. I know for me, while I'm perfectly happy with my life, I do long for the excitement of a Viking warrior or the freedom of a turn of the century London orphan. Of course, both of these are highly romanticized, knowing that to be either a Viking or a turn of the century orphan, is a very difficult and unromantic life. But then isn't the point of an alternative being the romanticism of a time in which you don't live and frankly could never begin to actually live in. Anyway, do we all desire secretly to be somebody else, or am I just crazy?
