A new social website, a realm of new possibilities. I am greatly intrigued by what I may find here. There are so many things I could add here, but I'm not entirely sure where to begin. Perhaps you, my dear reader, will ask me questions, grant me ideas of what to put on here? I am an open book.
But I will add the basics, of course. I'm a youthful 28 year old male MMA enthusiast from the icy realms of Siberia, in the Sakha Republic of Russia, a beautiful place filled with beautiful snowscapes and even better people. The atmosphere of my land, of its people, is so friendly, so easy-going, and we absolutely LOVE other nations and ethnicities. Indeed, we Siberians are a friendly people. When I was younger, I gained American citizenship, and here, in this country, is where I live full-time as this is the country that is shared by my significant other, even if they are not American either.
What do I mean when I say that I am 'Youthful'? When you take a look at me, my age is indiscernible at first. While I do look like an adult, you wouldn't see me as someone who is damn-near 30 years old unless I told you. To some I do look around my age, 25-30. At times, well, let's just say that sometimes I still get carded at bars. Hmm.
My interests are on a spectrum so broad. I LOVE reading, and I will devour any book voraciously, be it a fun-filled book of fiction, or a three-book epic-battle over a piece of jewelery, or fleeing alongside of Prince Tris in 'Chronicles of the Necromancer' by Gail Z. Martin. At one time, I had Ovid dripping from my tongue, nearly taught myself to memorize 'De Profundis' by Oscar Wilde, paragraph by paragraph, or reading a book of academics, particularly of sciences or philosophy or folklore, my epic passion.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not some total bookworm who sits in his attic archives reading his life away. I know how to 'let loose', have fun, and while my bar and club-hopping days are over (Death Guild, how I miss you..) I still enjoy hanging out with a select group of friends, whether it be doing nothing but chatting, or playing video games or discussing our various love lives, things of that nature. But all in all, sometimes I prefer the company of Frodo and the wit of Dickins.
But my main passion? Is writing. I love it with a passion, as I stated. I can adapt to most genres, be they mock-interviews, fiction, fantasy, poetry, a smattering of all genres into one, so many others. When you look at me, you wouldn't think I'd be the novelist-type. You'd see a jock, or something with a love for leather and chains. Not an Artist of Words.
And always, when I write, I have music playing in the background that fits the theme in which I'm writing about. An action scene? Hard Rock, Slavic Metal, it gives me inspiration. For a neutral scene, I listen to instrumental pieces by Nox Arcana and Dark Sanctuary.
It is as if I could somehow transport myself to another time, another place.
Picture this setting if you will:
You're alone in a room lit only by the light of a roaring fire, in a lonely castle perhaps on a skellig or at the peak of a cliff. Outside the wind is howling around your home, the rain assaulting your castle in a never-ending torrent. In the corner, you see the organist, playing a soft, non-stop melody. Not something upbeat and fun like much of Beethoven, but something dark yet melodius, beautiful yet morbid. Then you pick up your quill-pen and begin to write. What comes to mind?
This is what I invision when I write. It is the secret behind my inspiration.
There is so much more that I will add at a later time, when the inspiration hits.
