class=\"has-text-align-center\">&#8212;ooOoo&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I didn&#8217;t understand at the time, and I likely recoiled from the idea while reading the words, but I now understand why someone would see me as a person who doesn&#8217;t care what other people think &#8211; confidence in being able to do my own thing. From tattoos like &#8220;I&#8217;M DONE&#8221; and &#8216;NOT DOMESTICATED,&#8221; to white fingernail polish and earrings, to my over-the-top transparency and website, to my being the black sheep at work, to my love of cross-country motorcycle rides, to dozens of similar things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would say it&#8217;s more blatant nowadays, with an almost in your face &#8220;I&#8217;m too old to fucking care&#8221; attitude. For example, while talking about my newfound voice on this website, a friend tells me: &#8220;Well, at least you don&#8217;t use names.&#8221; At which time, I had to correct her by responding: &#8220;I fucking do now.&#8221; And why not? I tried with great diligence to reach out, and after hearing the rumors and reference to rumors, and things said about your humble narrator, I thought why the fuck not tell my story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is my story after all. I am that guy in those pictures. These things are true; they are my truth; and truth is, of course, a defense. I hold no ill will. I&#8217;ve purged my demons. My side of the street is brilliantly clean. You most surely will never see me cringe while bumping into anyone in the supermarket. It&#8217;s all cool here. Right as fucking rain. Quite frankly, I&#8217;m more interested in focusing on the future, continuing with my charmed life, so purging a bunch of shit on this website is like putting it on a shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"http:\/\/neuroticattorney.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/shprnd.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Smokey Robinson &amp; The Miracles; &#8216;Shop Around&#8217;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/neuroticattorney.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_9905-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neuroticattorney.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_9905-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/neuroticattorney.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_9905-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/neuroticattorney.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_9905-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/neuroticattorney.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_9905-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/neuroticattorney.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_9905-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"http:\/\/neuroticattorney.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/luvkeep.mp3\"><\/audio><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Captain &amp; Tennille; &#8216;Love Will Keep Us Together&#8217; <em>(I couldn&#8217;t help myself with this one &#8211; lol)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After being either sick, buried with work, out of town, or all of the foregoing during the month of December, I feel like things are going to get awfully focused and busy for me &#8211; and I cannot wait.
