"textContent": "It's long past time I stop compartmentalizing my life and being anonymous in all directions. I'm a web developer, but I'm also an artist and a classicist. I've forgotten more about Greek verbs, metrics and prosody than some of my professors ever knew, and you know what? I'm happier as a dilettante than whatever they expected me to be in those days.\n\nI'm also an artist, and I'm going to stop waiting for the right time to put it out there. So here comes the dabbling. Starting with a new section on the site: drawings.\n\nBecause I contain multitudes:\n\n## Song of Myself, 51 (Walt Whitman)\n\nThe past and present wilt—I have fill’d them, emptied them.\nAnd proceed to fill my next fold of the future.\n\nListener up there! what have you to confide to me?\nLook in my face while I snuff the sidle of evening,\n(Talk honestly, no one else hears you, and I stay only a minute longer.)\n\nDo I contradict myself?\nVery well then I contradict myself,\n(I am large, I contain multitudes.)\n\nI concentrate toward them that are nigh, I wait on the door-slab.\n\nWho has done his day’s work? who will soonest be through with his supper?\nWho wishes to walk with me?\n\nWill you speak before I am gone? will you prove already too late?",
