Let me tell you a littler bit about Sage Of Silver� Sage is a night person. Well the rest of you are sleeping, he's awake, he-
Nevermind, I'm not even going to go any further down that road.
How the hell are you supposed to sum up a man, any man, but particularly yourself, in something like this? Taking on a task like this is like a suicide mission that you hold out a dire hope will be a kamikaze. I know I'm going to fail from the get-go, but maybe I'll at least accomplish a little something. The only good way to look at a man's life is by what it has been built upon. I am, before anything else, a philosopher, and thus, the pillars upon which my life is set are ones of philosophical wisdom.
The pillars are these: Fight Club, the greatest film ever conceived, nay, birthed, by mankind. Christian Faith, which, despite poisoning from various sects, still holds the most profound truths I've found in any mythos. Ishmael, by Daniel Quinn, the greatest book of philosophy ever written.
A triangle is the strongest shape, we'll leave it at three pillars.
But if there were a fourth, it would be the Tao Te Ching, for my main philosophical position is Taoism. To sum that up as quickly as possible: Bhuddism says "It's all bad" and countless faiths say "Some of it's bad, some of it's good", and paganism says, "It's all good." Taoism says, "It's all� it. There it is, see." Taoism is not a religion, it is a philosophy, it is the belief that everything exists as it should exist, for good or ill, everything has a purpose and a path to follow, and happiness comes from accepting the role that you have in life, obeying your instincts, following the flow that exists in nature, the innate intelligence behind all things.
The three pillars I discussed following I follow because of my Taoist beliefs. Fight Club is about the duality of nature and about learning to follow ones instincts to be who you were born to be. Christianity is about giving up the supposed control you have over yourself and putting yourself in the hands of God, or, in the hands of the flow. Ishmael� just read it, you'll understand.
But to try to sum me up by what I love? How foolish, as the things that I hate are equally important. I hate, more than anything else in the world, Catholicism. I have spent hours upon hours upon hours in maniacal tirades about my hatred for the Catholic Church. There's a huge mind map on my wall, or rather, on the white board that Space Monkey gave me, about my hatred for them. It would take too long to discuss here, perhaps one day there'll be a section for it. Other hatreds I have include feminism, conformity, pacifism, and people's general denial.
Yes, philosophy is a wonderful way to pass the time, but philosophy is like tropical islands in an ocean, something has to fill inbetween. For me that's a few things. School on my way to becoming a teacher (yes, I will eventually corrupt your youth, just accept it now), playing video games, playing RPGs (tabletop), shooting things, reading things, writing things, and achieving orgasm through various physical and non-physical means.
Indeed, I'm a very sexual person. I've developed an ability to meditate to orgasm, without ever touching myself. I am a stimulus craver, I devour it. I'm passionate. I've felt things akin to orgasm while watching a film, or while writing, or especially while listening to music.
Music. That's something I could never say enough about, in fact, I can hardly say anything about it because it's not something explainable. You can't explain the blindness of it, the hollow but beautiful fulfillment when the notes of a song seem to permeate every part of you, leaving you in a euphoria that is difficult to tell whether it is pre-orgasmic, orgasmic, or post-orgasmic. It's blind and it leaves you helpless in a sea of your own goosebumps. It's like a drug.
Some of you will know what I'm talking about, and everything I've said will make perfect since, though failing to do the feeling justice. And some of you won't know what I'm talking about, and will figure that I'm simply a rambling moron. Well, whatever floats your boat.
And now, I've probably said more than you wanted to read, though certainly not enough to explain who I am. Just a last bit. I'm someone you probably don't want to know, because though I'll probably love you from the beginning, you won't understand why, and by the time you find out, I'll probably hate you. The ones I love by the time they understand who I am tend to be the ones who love me back, like my Libras. Thanks for taking an interest. Peace.
Sage
