About
I am a strange sort of folk.
Really, there's not much else to say. I like to think of myself as dreadfully common and yet uncommonly different depending on which aspect of myself you look at.
I don't necessarily have any true religious beliefs, but if you asked me if I believe in God I'd be inclined to tell you that either the Universe itself is one giant, extremely complex organism or that if God does exist, God is the Tao of the Tao te Ching.
Honestly I love comparing chinese philosophy with quantum physics. For two astoundingly different concepts that came about in very different ways from very different backgrounds, their ideas are remarkably similar.
I enjoy reading and writing. Sometimes. Tolkien always has been and always will be classic. Normally I find Stephen King's work to be far too commercial and made-for-tv but the Dark Tower series, for the most part, is pure genius. Branching out of fiction, I love Robert Pirsig and find Fritjof Capra fascinating.
And finally, we come to music. I have a wide range of musical interests and in my old age, I find myself drifting more towards instrumentals. As is obvious by the name, Lateralus is perhaps one of the most brilliantly composed pieces that I've ever heard. Indeed, it might be THE most brilliantly composed piece of modern rock. (A genre that now-a-days does so little real composing. Especially anything that makes it to the radio.) The song conveys every single bit of the theme through lyrical content down to the rhythm being in the Fibbonaci sequence.
And that, is a little bit about me. At least that I care to share.
