"My Shadow" Although I did not describe 'my shadow' at all. Just seeing my thoughts written down, shows where I stand. Besides the gap of differences, I do acknowledge ‘my shadow’. I mean, sometimes it just may be about the one who has the 'biggest shadow' in the end. I would hate to be the bad guy. Any 'type of bad guy' that is. I say type because I've noticed how some find 'evil personas' on movies screens, and reality to completely differ from one another. As if we may or may not find evil characters as "iconic". In which, may just be the fact that they show and act upon who they really are. Or just because they look ‘cool’. Regardless, it really does explain why some people are so attracted to these on-screen bad guys. Some people simply wish to portray who they really are. And unfortunately, as we know it, it’s not always a good thing. So, the idea of everyone having their own shadow may not be a bad thing after all.

                                         "Cultural Diet" My culture diet isn’t as ‘healthy’ but, it is something I do recognize and respect heartily. The culture aspect of things is not the difficultness of distinguishing its history of how it is now. It’s more of where it all began, and what it represents to the people. As this is expressed in many ways, through art, clothing, language, religion, etc. I believe it is all very important, even just being able to acknowledge it. Today my cultural diet is more implemented through both worlds of that virtue and reality. Technology today is really what I express as culture. It is one of the many things I have had the experience to grow and advance with. It is something that 'everyone' uses. (It all seemingly like tradition) I have...
