Description
Sorry for the re-upload. Fixing my dA portfolio.I'll self-destruct and die, if you don't allow me breathing room.
Save me from my phobia of failing you again.
I'll self-destruct and die, from the strain of pleasing the masses.
I'm the dying pacifist.
I'm addicted to being something they will look up to and
I'm begging for someone, something, to bring me back to you...
Self Destruct and Die - Dead Poetic

This is my contest submission for *DraculeaRiccy 's Seven Deadly Sins contest.
I chose Gluttony.
Derived from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow, gluttony (Latin, gula) is the over-indulgence and over-consumption of anything to the point of waste.
This would also qualify for the lesser known Acedia (Latin, acedia), apathetic listlessness; depression without joy. It is similar to melancholy, although acedia describes the behaviour, while melancholy suggests the emotion producing it.

I'm really enjoying my latest post-production editing process. Wooo!

very well thought out and constructed.... it looks like a battle field of chess men, one by one they die as their soul is sucked dry and god sitting in his majestic throne is drunk off the power until realizing what he's done.... I want a print of this.

Wow..nobody has ever requested a print from me before..
I'm not even entirely sure how to make that happen.

well through here they make it easy to do, elsewhere it all depends on where you feel comfortable printing your stuff. I'm partial to snapfish for my printing needs.

Wow now that is a great example of gluttony. Usually when people think more along the lines of a Supersized meal or something, but this too...the pill bottle, the cigarettes, all those damn bottles. Wow.

Thankfully I have no one in my family like that, except for the smoking part.
But this picture is great. I think it really portrays some of the problems our society has.

I know what that's like, but to stay away from it all you got to do is see what it does to the people you care about - thats what keeps me away
