mind you this is a personal part of who i am and strictly my opinion i do not wish to discuss the fact or hear that you disagree i keep a book of entries such as thees when the time feels right:
In this Reality one can almost veiw life as the ultimate game. Each Person, Animal, Plant, Insect..... Ect. MUST Play. The Rules are unwriten but globaly known and understood as well are the penalties if one trys to cheat.
People to weak to follow their own dreams, will always find a way to discourage others.
After all, of what use could the few brief years of a single lifetime be, to the task of perfecting the soul?
i will hopfully be adding more to this section but ponder on thees for now

..Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.
..Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

To tell you Who i am is a big task.
My Name is Brad D. Spilkin otherwise know amongst my friends as
The Cheshzhyre Cat or "CHESH" if you count yourself among my friends you
find yourself in excellent company. My friends are quite litteraly my Family.
I welcome any and all to come hang with me and i am always in the search
of good people to add to my list of friends.
Family is a big part of my life. i have so many good friends right now in my life i do feel i neglect alot of them only due to the lack of time in the days. but i am trying to spend as much of myself with them as i posibly can.
i also participate in Renasiance Festivals and i am a
Member of the S.C.A. "the Society fo Creative Anacronisim" i am also a proud
member of Thunder, a brotherhood within the S.C.A. dedicated to the
perfection of drums drink fight and dance... i have a hard time finding a more perfect moment than sitting by the fires at war, my Thunder Family around me and a tankard of Thunder Punch in my hand While listening to the Drums Play. if you can relate to this you know how i feel. there is not many things in this world i could think of as more perfect than the sound of a Thunder Drum except at War when you can get a group of them in one place and experience the life very few get to appreiciate. i consider myself a very lucky man indeed to be in such great company as i keep.
and am the head of my S.C.A. group
House Leviathan.
im sure some who read this are gonna immediately refer to me as a geek or nerd.
well they are welcome to but not without adding GOTH to that list.
i also count myself with honor within my favorite subculture of the Gothic Genre.
i am far from afraid to tell anyone of what i do and who i am. there are to many
people thees days who will either hate someone for thier choice in lifestyle.
i am a member of the Gothic Volunteer Alliance (G.V.A.) of San Diego. we are a
humanitarian group lead by the desire to stop hate crimes and injustice Against
any and all subcultures.
i welcome any and all to join me at faire or war or come help me at a G.V.A. Event.
My chosen Profession is that of a jeweler working in Gold and Silver. i am a Graduate Jeweler Gemologist but i also enjoy being a Graphic Designer. and as an extension to jewelry working with metals i am learning the way to work steel in the Forge. My time thees days has been a focus to improve my craftmanship as an artist. but also to enjoy my social life where i do get to see a few of my friends on a regular basis.i seem to get busier running from event to event or donating my time that i forget to stop and take a look around. i think i need a vacation soon....oh yeah i forgot bats day is comming...lol!
