What if everything you hold dear was an illusion?

About Me

Endlessly engaged in the pursuit of truth, knowledge, and reality.
My "art" is a feeble attempt to convince people of an idea without them being aware that an idea is even being conveyed.
My life is a constant swirl of activity and silence, a poetic dance of confusion and insight.
My goal is to one day touch enough people, enlighten enough paths, and create enough art, so that this world may grow into a place actually worth living in (and dying for).
My wish is to live long enough so that when interstellar space travel becomes reality, I may see the beauty of another world beyond our own.
My hope? To be taken seriously enough for my words to fester in your brain (not all tumors are bad, especially if they aren't "real"), but not seriously enough to squelch all humor and fun (what's life without humor and fun? DEATH).
As for me, myself, and I-nsanity: Well, what is there to say? Think paratoxical contradictions/abstractions, mixed with brief glimpses of insight and truth.
-I love people, but despise society.
-I love culture, but hate those in them.
-I love art, but can't stand artists.
-I find truth in all we see wrong, and I see what's wrong with everything found to be true.
-I love psychology, but have yet to meet a psychologist who wasn't full of shit.
-I love philosophy, but it's like loving a corpse (Western philosophy is DEAD; it has no imagination and has been reduced to semantics and random arguments over worthless objects).
-I believe in Free Will (hell it's necessary for so many things in society and individuality), but I see no existence of freedom (Bush, Cheney, Neo-Cons, Neo-Liberals, and all such fakers be DAMNED for their veiled intentions and lying, lecherous ways!), nor a reason to believe we own a will.
-I love spirituality, and abso-fucking-lutely HATE religions, especially those that have warped and contorted the truth (Ahem, all those who claim lineage to Abraham, Ahem).
Religions are only useful for children or those young in spirit (just like governments are only useful for managing children). True adults (how few there are nowadays, what a pity) shouldn't need faith, or preachers, or religious leaders. The existence of such is both a sign and a hindrance. A sign of our mass immaturity, and a hindrance to us growing up.
Is that enough for your purposes? Probably more than you ever wanted to know, but just ask me if you need more opinions on the value of nothingness in this meaningless abstraction of ugliness we seem to deem reality.
And if it seems as if I may hate/dislike/ignore you, don't worry, it's not your SELF I dislike, it's your programming, and perhaps your failure to employ your natural willpower. :)

My Interests

Making films/music videos, writing (screenplays, stories, poetry, essays, etc.), talking about philosophy/religion/culture/psychology and the like, helping others with their problems (I'm apparently the apathetic counselor who people come to with their life issues), gnosticism, politics, music, and general ponderings on life

I'd like to meet:

Fellow philosophers, filmmakers, people with open minds, and those who are aware of the unique beauty of all those aweful things which have been deemed "weird" by those defining the "norm".

That one person (if she even exists), that can be the yin to my yang; the Hadit to my Nuit; the Magdalene to my Jedi Jesus-ness. It's quite likely, though, that this person does not exist because how can one look for their other in a world that is alien to them? Seems to be a hopeless endeavor.

Anyone who might be able to understand the form buried deep with all this abstraction, the Tao streaming along below our materialistic bullshit, the Chi that flows in me, the HGA that exists beyond. Anyone who understands what TFY QA means, or anyone who has realized the divine sparking to life within.

Music:

Metallica, Incubus, Finger Eleven, 30 SECONDS TO MARS, SAUL WILLIAMS, Limp Bizkit, Tool, A Perfect Circle, Staind, Hoobastank, Breaking Benjamin, Sum 41, Pink Floyd, John Mayer, Blind Guardian, most rock (soft or hard), some rap, lots of alternative and metal.

And I can't forget Tommy Rothman, the dude who SHOULD be on the radio, jackass!

Movies:

Se7en, Donnie Darko, Fight Club, Memento, V for Vendetta, What the Bleep Do We Know?, 10 Things I Hate About You, Requiem for a Dream, Pi, Boondock Saints, Star Wars (all 6), Butterfly Effect, Matrix, Vanilla Sky, Identity, Pulp Fiction, What Dreams May Come, Half-Baked, Apocalypse Now, Dazed and Confused, Dodgeball, White Noise, 12 Monkeys, Underworld, Underworld Evolution, I Heart Huckabees, Stay, One Hour Photo, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Punch-Drunk Love, A Scanner Darkly, Closer, The Graduate

Anything with a good mindfuck or shit your pants comedy.

A good artistic film that actually has a mind to it, rather than artsy-fartsy, touchy-feely bullshit.

Television:

No

Books:

I need to work on this... (ie, I need to read more).

Heroes:

Leonardo Da Vinci, Einstein, Carl Jung, Alex Gray, Richard Linklater, George Lucas, Maynard James Keenan

The Buddha, my homeboy Jesus (lol), Osiris, Krishna, the Christos

Oh, and I can't possibly ignore my temptress, my lover, my formless self:

Infinity, all of his knowledge and all of her wisdom, wrapped into one giant mindfuck we call truth.
