Regeneration is the ransacking of the soul, the turning of a man out of himself, the crumbling to pieces of the old man, and the new moulding of it into another.
Heres the thing, I'm not so sure who I am anymore, so it's hard for me to tell you a lot about myself.
I can say that I like to be around people that are smarter than me (not so hard) and that are very different than I am. Sure I could surround myself with people who have the same tastes and passions as I do, but whats the point of that? I want to open up my world with new viewpoints and experiences.
I'm leaving the old stuff I put in here, because it still applies, to a point. (And I have no idea what else to put here)
It's just kind of shallow, I mean, "I like movies and music with a passion for blah blah blah.. ***YAWN***
Check please!
If ya wanna know who I am, read my blog, thats where I say more than I should about things I haven't a clue about.
(gee, i make myself sound so appealing don't I... not to good at this who "social" aspect of networking!
I'm interested in being around people who are smarter than me and enjoy good conversation, passionate, open minded, civil debate. (having a good time helps a lot as well!) Reading, watching movies, Home Theater (to watch said movies) I'm pretty excessive when it comes to coffee and tea, going so far as to order my coffee freshly roasted from a micro-roaster out of Baltimore. I'm passionate about music, Wandering around the web, playing PC games, a love for geeky and silly science fiction shows like Doctor Who/Godzilla films/MST3K.. yadda yadda yadda.
Told you it was crap, CRAP I TELL YOU!
Does it explain the experiences and emotions that brought me to tears over a music video filmed in a area of New Orleans where I used to live?
Or that parts of my life and preconceptions about myself are being burned away?
Or that I love celtic music and tiki culture?
Or that I've lost over 130 pounds this year?
or that I consider only losing that much weight as a failure?
Or that I can be crippled by self doubt, as well as energized into extreme, focused action, and I just don't quite know how?
Or that anything I write here is shit, shallow and self absorbed and I really find this whole "about me" thing stupid? I mean, if your reading this, one would assume you know a bit and don't need this section... unless your a loser, a stalker, or just.. I dunno.
Music
I own over 1000 CD's and hundreds of gigs of music.. so the short list?
Movies
Television
Books
OK, I have a small but growing collection of oddball cookbooks, beyond that... Harlan Ellison, , Kurt Vonnegut, Roger Zelazny, Anais Nin, Stephen Fry, Sherlock Holmes stories and novels, Larry Nivin, Hitchikers Guide, The Yellow Pages, P.G. Wodehouse, America-The book (audiobook version is much better!) Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid, I'm kind of ashamed that I enjoyed The Davinci Code and Angels and Demons... fun reads. Lots of other stuff that I cant really think of without going to my room o' books, but a lot of Sci-fi.

Aaron’s hero’s
Liviu Librescu, Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that.

NumberSix The essence of a tragedy, or even of a serious play, is the spiritual awakening, or regeneration, of the hero. Posted at 12:10 AM Feb 7 view more
About me: No, my nickname is not from THAT "NumberSix"
I'm not female, I'm not blond, and I don't even pretend to be one online... watch a little BBC and perhaps you'll get it.
"I am not a number."
"My father says that almost the whole world is asleep. Everybody you know. Everybody you see. Everybody you talk to. He says that only a few people are awake and they live in a state of constant total amazement."
"There are certain times in your life when I guess you're not supposed to have anybody, you know? There are certain doors you have to go through alone."
"Eckhart saw Hell too. He said: The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, he said. They're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and... and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth."

Seems as if lately, I'm daring the world to push me off a cliff, just to see if I can fly.
Who I'd like to meet: People who understand that we are all flawed beings seeking and creating our own meaning in this world. Only through a kind heart and a perseverance and willingness to risk our safety from being hurt can friendships be forged. And a better life be lived.
