‘Prologue’ by the Antlers
an ‘about me’ post:
my name is not important, but I’ll give it regardless - Patrick Francis Costello.
I quite like it as far as names go. I’m Pisces. Not that I believe any of that shit, I’m just being like thousands of other mindless peons sharing any information they can with no-body in particular, in the hope they find something out about themselves. In my case, that I’m hopelessly and apathetically dull.
i’m studying in college, and going to university next year, to waste everybody’s money to do a course with no prospects and live a life of drab intoxication and misery. english lit, english language and philosophy & ethics are the courses I do now.
i’m an awfully shy person, and ‘by being too sensitive I have wasted my life’. I don’t like to intrude on other people, or put upon them. though I still have the same desires and needs. I still need to be loved, which just manefests itself in a fucking woeful self pity. Not quite enough to make me have any severe problem, I’m not so grand in any way, but just enough so that my company is awkward and often cold.
i enjoy reading, writing, sleeping, crying, watching films and music. i fall in love too easily. i try to stay healthy, but a bad diet, cigarettes, drink and drunks see to it that I’m not. I used to be a good runner, it was one of the areas I allowed myself to become confident in.
I am hilariously hypocritical. A middle class white boy, grown up in safety and luxury, and yet trying my best to be Zen. I don’t even have a job - too lazy. Dead relatives pay my way forward.
I am an athiest. I do, however, believe in some form of karma. I have a dry, self deprecating sense of humour.
If there is ever anything you would want to know, or I’ve missed out something important, please do tell, here.
