Well, the avatar I chose is of a comic book character I recognized called Arch Angel I believe. What little comic book lore I have, I believe he was once a super hero, but was captured and transformed into an evil villain. He eventually broke free but had to live with his "hideous" form (his original name was Angel, for many reasons).

Not that I think I am hideous, but my life has gone through some changes that somewhat are akin to the change from beauty and freedom to one of ugliness and slavery. I use those terms loosely but I think you get the idea.

Anyway, don't we all somtimes wish we could fly away and be free? I guess that is the dreamer in me, but don't worry, I am grounded in reality
