It's really not that bad... what you put on the inside is what counts.
I know a lot of people with colorful tattoos, who are dim and lacking creativity on the inside. And therefore, as boring to me as the suburbs could be to a dweller of faceless cities, or neighbor-less expanses of wilderness.
I love snakes. All kinds. Most fascinating animal on the planet.
I love what I do (most of the time) as long as I'm doing it for me and no one else. Once I start thinking that I'm only doing what I do for the benefit of my superiors, then I start to loathe what I do.
