Hello everyone, and thank you for taking the time to read these humble words of mine. I hope you find a source of inspiration in here, as I hope to find from all of you.

My name is Thomas, but I implore you to call me Tom as a closer friendlier gesture. I currently live in Manhattan in a studio apartment behind the local Starbucks. I have a job that isn't the, well.... Grandest of places, but it pays the bills. Ah yes, bills.. The chains of life, are they not? Why must one struggle on in such a meaningless way? That is what I ask myself everyday.

Though, do not fret, my friends. I am uplifted by the fact of the future. This time is only a small passing one and I hope to find the answers I seek through my own convictions very shortly. Why, not even a day ago did a passing glance into the local record store inspire me.

Yes, my friends. The artwork on the cover of that record brought a new wave of feelings from deep within me. What am I going to do now, you say? Well, I surely couldn't tell you, that's for certain.. But I know it has taken me this far, to deviantART. Perhaps this feeling will lead to a greater job, more opportunities, closer friends, bitter enemies? Oh, my friends, as you can tell I am quite excited for the future...

I hope you all will follow my journey and perhaps let it be a guiding light for your own path. Please do not hesitate to share your own experiences with me. Inspiration is like a fleeting dream, a thief in the night. Who knows what will provoke the next Mozart? Will it be me? Will it be you? Let's find out.

In closing. Thank you deviants. Thank you for your friendship and thank you for your kindness.
