    elijah's Interests
GeneralHaving fun, living life with a bit of joy. Social network analysis, computational scientometrics (chew on that one for a bit), graph theory, research methodologies, weblogs, social software, the semantic web. Puppies, kittens, goldfish. Zen, Sufism, Sikh poetry, literary criticism. Learning how to learn. Idries Shah, arcana, G.I. Gurdjieff, Ken Wilber, the sociology of science, chillin' at home.
MusicAlmost anything. I prefer melody to harmony, tenor to bass, alto to soprano, rhythm to rhyme.
MoviesMy taste in movies currently tends toward action, explosions, and flicks with big guns. This allows me to avoid thinking too much, while still getting a bit of pleasure out of my viewing. I don't really care too much for Jane Austen flicks -- they're a little too socially structured and predictable. Other "chick flicks" and art-house movies are usually okay with me. I seem to have very atypical movie tastes.
TelevisionIn the past I've really gotten into CSI, Law And Order (various series), and a few other things. I actually don't watch that much TV -- but sometimes a guy just has to veg out and enjoy it. I'd much rather talk than watch television -- and will talk about nearly anything.
Books_Atlas Shrugged_, _The Crying of Lot 49_, _Gravity's Rainbow_, Ralph Ellison's _The Invisible Man_, Asimov's _Foundation_ trilogies, _The Illuminatus Trilogy_ (a drug induced masturbatory dream if there's ever been one), various other books. These are just the ones that I think are interesting enough to mention in this profile. :-)
HeroesNagarjuna. Sri Aurobindo. And Oscar the Grouch.

   elijah's Blurbs
About me:

I never know what to type in these boxes.

My life, currently, seems to be all about delayed gratification and the absence of a number of genuinely fulfilling things. I am overworked.

I am intuitive to the maxx, and not afraid to live there. I frequently live with my head and my heart, rather than my body or sensation, as focus.

I do like who I am, these days, though you might not know that from brief exposure or shallow interactions with me. I tend to be a bit prickly when I'm stressed, which can be 'often'.

My personal energy "volume knob" is set to eleven, permanently.

Kinaesthetically empathetic.

I enjoy being intellectually diverse and dippin' my toes in a lot of different ponds.

I play guitar occasionally and mandolin somewhat poorly.

Who I'd like to meet:

Just about anyone, actually. I can be very social and very withdrawn -- all at once. I live in paradox, but wouldn't have it any other way.

There's the world we see, and the world that we catch glimpses of. Which one do you walk in?

Let the one great aim and ideal be to lift up and universalize our affection, so that while it is as deep and intimate as though it has but one object, yet it is ready to be centered on any person,
to flow to any point of need.

Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Does the journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.
