"I am Dodo, neither black nor white but rather fluffy, and I'm beaky to a fault. I am Zootopian, but from the cut of your genes, I'd say your apple didn't fall far from my tree. I am life itself, the wayward whim of several billion cells to be you for a little while. I am the mote in the Eye of Providence, the thorn in the Lion's Paw, and as such, I am as spiritually enlightened as I am secularly incredulous, though I often enjoy a short respite with the agnostic. I am your alter ego, the avatar of your dreams. And like a candle in this dark, demon-haunted world of yours, I am your lifeline. I am Ethos, your beacon of righteousness in a sea of decadence and debauchery. I am Logos, the voice of reason when waves of tumultuous doubt cloud your mind. I am Pathos, for I carry the burden of your woes and summon the wind as you sail in pursuit of your bliss. Though I credit a certain, fastidiously fishified fellow with having created me, I salute all the folks I've ever met for having invested themselves in the dream in which I live: Thou hast breathed life into me and given me a reason for being, and for this I am eternally grateful. I am Dodo."

About Me
- fyshpatrick
- My life has been filled with incredibly good fortune, most of which never happened. I neither subscribe to theories of predestination, nor do I condone notions of a preordained future that foretells events; I reserve a special brand of contempt for anything forecast by prophesy. I dismiss out of hand the presumption that each of us has some special calling or assignment in life, other than that of our own choosing, and I reject all superstitious beliefs, especially those rooted in the cults that have risen out of a fear of death. But I do embrace the possibility that each of us has the power to create the person we wish to be, that the only limitation imposed is the degree to which we exercise our own imagination and then act upon it: Vision without action is a daydream; action without vision is a nightmare.
