About Me

My name is Thrax. My mind is complex. My life, even more so. I am a sort of existential philosopher. I am also my own odd stripe of "Theistic Satanist", if you need to know where to file my beliefs away in the cabinet of your understanding. Just remember to keep your mind as open as your mouth, and i'd be glad to discuss my beliefs with you.I am always searching, and hungry for something... Well, anything. Hungry to know. To taste. To touch. To love, and to hate. All of all: to the fulfillment of myself and the experience of sharing that fulfillment with others. I care too much and too soon. I want too much and never have enough to give; but how I try! Is that enough?

My Interests

I am interested in philosophy, world history (particularly ancient history) technology, biology, literature, music, and to a limited extent visual arts such as painting and cinema. Theories of posthumanism fascinate me. Sexuality, sociology, psychology, theology and the nature of god and the universe fascinate me. And it is my sincere hope that you also fascinate me.

I'd like to meet:

My favorite type of person tends to sensualistic yet pragmatic and cerebral. My most cherished memories are of honest laughter and acts of generosity in either direction.I can get along with anyone. I'm loving and I care, but nobody is going to drag me down.I do not appreciate excessive posturing, or needless self explanation. I see through your shit, for better or for worse... I promise.Does anyone out there love the truth, even when it is agonising or horrific? A mutual love of the truth, even when we believe in different forms of it is an adhesive of love itself.

Music:

I love industrial beyond all else, but I have a place in my heart for the more "discoesque" things you hear in the goth clubs. I am also suprisingly eclectic at times, and my collection includes Cab Calloway and Ella Fitzgerald amongst other things.

Movies:

Razorblade Smile, Pink Flamingos, Starship Troopers, Interview With The Vampire, Pan's Labrynth, Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind, The Jacket, The Fountain.

Television:

Death Note. Metalocalypse. Nip Tuck. Rome.

Books:

I've been reading the Dark Tower series by Steven King. I suspect i'll be chewing on it the better part of the next year.

Heroes:

Anyone who manages to survive rejection by this world and carve out a portion of it in their image. And of course my friends and loved ones who have all saved me in their own way.

The embarassing fullness of her actions...

It is embarassing to have to admit you've been had. Somehow, I allowed myself to believe in the fiction that Dorothy was capable of holding a course for more than a fleeting moment in time. I was wron...

Weddinng be... erm, birds!

So, as of a couple days ago me and Dorothy literally "tied the knot"; Or rather Sarah tied it for us, with a piece of rope that was intended to hold our tent in a burrito shape, in front of...

Personality Refund.

To share myself is not an easy thing to do, and I do not do it lightly. But I also do it with an odd, blunt enthusiasm. Sometimes - perhaps too often actually; I show off the very worst of me and...

The Drowning of Narcissus

So, here I am finally writing in this willing depository for my thoughts, and presumably to a willing and at least semi-intrigued audience. So here's my first little random thought, for what i...
