Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

This Shadow

Posted October 7, 2005 5:26pm ET

Is this what I’ve become?
This shadow, this shell of who I was?
This empty soul, this tortured mind,
Is this what I’ve become?

Is this what I’ve become?
This falsehood, premonition that I’ve been?
This belching hatred, these spewing lies,
Is this what I’ve become?

Is this what I’ve become?
This pretender, vying for the throne?
Still worshipping this fallen, absent god,
Is this what I’ve become?

Is this what I’ve become?
This shadow, this shell of who I was?
And here I am with this pen again,
Is this what I’ve become?

Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.
