I was a listener in the woods,

I was a gazer at the stars,

I was not blind where secrets were concerned,

I was silent in a wilderness,

I was talkative among many,

I was mild in the mead-hall,

I was stern in battle,

I was gentle towards allies,

I was a physician of the sick,

I was weak towards the feeble,

I was strong towards the powerful,

I was not parsimonious lest I should be burdensome,

I was not arrogant though I was wise,

I was not given to vain promises though I was strong,

I was not unsafe though I was swift,

I did not deride the old though I was young,

I was not boastful though I was a good fighter,

I would not speak about any one in their absence,

I would not reproach, but I would praise,

I would not ask, but I would give.



Cormac Mac Cuileannain

King and Poet of Cashel, AD 836-908

What defines me?

I am an artist, in all senses of the term. I write, I sing, I act, I draw, I create.

My passions in life include: My friends and family, my art, and my arrows - my archery.

I am good person with a thieves mind, but, as I've been told, I use my powers for good.

To you, I'm funny. To my friends, I'm hilarious.

To the issues, I'm serious -until you mock, or prey on others. Then you become my prey, and you must have a strong mind to contend with my words.

I do not use profanity, fore I feel that if one wishes to express oneself, they must do it without such phrases that prove you have little mind.

What defines me?

I do. And I will let no one do it for me.

In friendship I'm kind.

To my enemies I'm... intelligent, the worst type of foe.

And I'm forever myself.



Much love, Much luck,



R.Drake/K.M.Synold
