... and who is this?

I hate writing what people call a 'bio'. I also hate the fact that some people write their own 'bio' from a third person pespective. I guess it is to be expected for ants to want to sound like eagles. Sometimes though, ants can be more interesting. I guess I must. I am an ant. My name is Danix, and though it may not be a legal name, it is what I feel closer to in the past years. I am a good mirror man. That is to say, I can and will be the man you want to see across from you, that is, unless I have a piece of paper in front of me. I call myself a musician, and have had some level of success with it. I have played many places, and have written pieces of music that I recieve many compliments on. Yes, I know that flattery can be abundant if the circumstances are right, and most of the times it will be only air, yet sometimes, only sometimes, I will get a sincere 'wow' and that to me is worth more than a thousand clapping hands. I am also a writer, although much less spoken of. I began writing at the age of eleven, the time when my life radically changed geographically. I have never stopped. Nothing I write can certainly be called non-fiction. You will not find dates or will I name real people in the stories I tell, yet I don't believe that fiction really exists. Everything written is real. Based on real things. I have been an old man and a woman, a little girl and a transvestite, a wise boy and a schizophrenic. Who am I today? You decide. We are all feeble actors in this place we call home. I have shown you only my mask, you will have to take it off.
