   I think very few of us are actual "monsters", but there is one thing that all   
   of us are most of our lives that The X-Files captures very well. And that is   
   "Nobodies". A lot of the monsters, most of them even, are just trying to be a   
   "nobody". "Just leave    
   me alone," is a common sentiment in the show. A true monster does not know it   
   is a monster. Monsters think they are the heroes, in fact. This is one way in   
   which many X-Files monsters deviate from traditional monsters. They often have   
   a little self-   
   knowledge. They are trying to carve out as small a place for themselves as the   
   world will permit them.   
      
   I feel this way about my life. Please don't MAKE ME be a monster. I am just   
   trying to live my life here in this mucous and newspaper encrusted cocoon I've   
   carved out of an airshaft between two buildings in an abandoned industrial   
   warehouse somewhere in    
   Vancouver. Can the FBI just LEAVE ME ALONE!? All I ask is that I periodically   
   be allowed to drink the spinal fluid of a child with a rare neuro-degnerative   
   disorder that makes the whites of their eyes turn blue. Is that SO WRONG!?   
   Look, here's a    
   newspaper clipping from the 1950's with me in the background of a photograph   
   working as a janitor at the small recovery hospital set up for these kids. I   
   haven't aged a day!
