This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing modules.
You can drag and and drop to rearrange.
You can edit modules to customize them.
The left side has modules you can add!
Some modules you can only access when you get a subscription.
Some modules have options that are only available when you get a subscription.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain modules can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!

Some assumptions leading us down the rabbit hole:
The key to any successful con* (term to be defined below) is the first impression.
A positive first impression requires charisma.
Charisma is only achieved by means of a hyperactive self-confidence.
Self-confidence is usually obtained through successful experience.
So the key to any successful con* (term to be defined below) is to obtain success be means of previous cons*.
Seems circular. Seems odd.
Lets apply it.
If our identity is defined by means of our relationships with others
i.e. Nature: your classmates know you as a peer, your parents treat you as their children, your siblings as such, etc.
i.e. Nurture: you are a band geek because you play an instrument in the band, you are an actor because you are involved in the theater department, etc.
Just because you are an actor does not require that you be a part of the theater department, nor does your involvement in the theater department qualify you as an actor
However if you want others to see you as such you need to inform them or they need to observe it themselves
How would anyone know you were an actor if you were not part of the theater program?
Its more complicated when you are dealing with interpersonal relationships as opposed to cultural groups.
With interpersonal relationships oftentimes you dont have a say in terms of whom you are related to.
Though in todays non nuclear family structure oftentimes you do have a say in terms of whom you are related to. At least in terms of a cultural acceptance. But I digress.
I am waiting for the oven to pre-heat so that I can put in my pizza.
So continuing on
If the essence of your identity is rooted in the types of relationships you have with others
Then the key to a successful identity change i.e. the con is to have had success in making identity changes previously.
This is where the logic breaks down.
Wouldnt the con be less believable the more you changed regardless of the similarities or differences between the changes?
Perhaps I need to reexamine my thoughts about Charisma. Perhaps it can exist as a by-product of extreme ego or even an overpowering suspension of disbelief.
If that were the case one would only need to think positively in order to make their modified first impression successful. Of course, it needs to be assumed that you are keeping up your modified self otherwise, you are just a poser and most people can see right through that.
Insert Pizza
Thinking positively as the basis to having an accepted identity is another way of saying I think therefore I am and that depresses me.
Because I think that logic is circular.
I also think that the Back to the Future series arguably one of the greatest science fiction movies ever made is an example of circular logic.
This circular logic this paradoxical paradigm is inherent when thinking about relativity and existence. Usually, it seems, that awareness of the paradox is enough for most people at least, popular culture would have you think so.
However, I am not convinced that a true paradox can exist.
Nor am I convinced that I exist but thats something to question my authority with not to take as a matter of fact.
I wondered publically on Facebook: if it really was possible for Doc Brown to build a time machine out of a train using left over modified (2015 hover/fusion conversion) and rebuilt (using 1955 parts from an 1885 design) delorean time machine parts and only having access to supplies from 1885
The best that series of movies gave me was that my future was unwritten I could be who I wanted.
If I thought therefore I was.
If I think positively I will believe in myself, have charisma, have positive first impressions, and exist in an accepted modified identity (the con).
It kinda makes me wanna gag.

FLASHBACK - A few weeks ago
...
I am sitting next to Emily on the couch. Shes doing her HW (or so she wants me to think I see model mayhem and facebook and perezhilton open but I will let it slide) as its just about finals crunch for her and I am doing nothing but thinking.
Been doing a lot of that lately
And as usual, when I do too much thinking I boil over and make changes in my life to try and modify my course towards a better life.
One is the commitment to my gym.
Its not just fitness. Its life.
Instead of 3 1-hour personal training sessions per week, I changed it to 2 2-hour sessions per week. Seemed like a great idea, until I actually had to go through the two-hour session. As you can imagine I question this decision at this time since today was the first day for the increase.
My car got broken into. I lost enough stuff to be a pain in the ass. Not to mention the window is smashed in. I am driving it home tomorrow which should be a windy ride and never bringing it back.
A few days have passed. Actually its been more like a week or two. Emily just finished finals thank goodness. So shes now in a position to enjoy the summertime. This makes her happy, which in turn makes me happy.
The weather is getting nice once again. Theres nothing like spring in NYC. I miss shooting but have yet to find my next big thing.
Been shooting a lot in Polaroid, ironically. Figured nows the time to either use it or lose it.
I have boxes of it left.
I only wish I had the creative energy, focus, and drive to use it properly.
If I dont use it it will be a self-disservice. If I screw it up at least it didnt die in vain.
...or just saying hi is good too.
