About Me

Test this
message

My Handle = "Twilight of the Gods", last opera in Wagner's Ring Cycle.
An end devoutly to be wished for, ie, no 'gods', or God for that matter.
Aka 'BobSpence1' on the InfidelGuy forums.
Just call me Bob.

My Interests

Freethought: I am strongly Atheist, ie I believe the evidence for a 'God' is all but non-existent, and most if not all actual variations of the concept itself make no real sense.
Other Interests: - totally into Photography. Also Cycling, Computers, Travel - I have visited all seven continents.

Have been into Scuba Diving including underwater photography, but haven't done anything there for a few years. I tend to get into it for a year or two than get more interested in other things. I'm really only interested in trips to the better places like the Barrier Reef and such. I'm pretty bored with local weekend diving, so it's a matter of time/money priorities. When the alternative in recent years were trips thru China, Siberia, Russia, Central Asia, etc., - no-brainer, much more interesting to see someplace really different.

I'm really a pretty much a 'been there done that' sort of person about a lot of things. There has to be something particularly appealing about an activity or a place for me to want to keep going back - life is too short to 'waste' time doing the same thing over and over if there is some interesting alternative still not explored.

Current special places I would definitely re-visit: Yosemite Valley and Venice, Italy.

Not Interested in:

Cricket, Football, Tennis, and similar regular sporting events - definition of boring to me.
Reality TV shows, Talent Quests, etc.

I'd like to meet:

People who can actually think about 'Life, the Universe, and Everything', and who know the guy who made that a prominent phrase..

Television:

The Simpsons, Futurama, Stargate SG-1

Books:

Fiction: Iain M. Banks, Stephen Donaldson, Terry Pratchett, Arthur C Clarke, Peter F. Hamilton, Terry Goodkind, David Zindell -----Non-fiction: Douglas R. Hofstadter ("Gödel, Escher, Bach", "Metamagical Themas") Daniel Dennett

Hi...

I really haven't had time to keep my first blog up to date recently, so I am not even going to attempt anything here.BTW what I am doing now is typing into my computer, rather than Reading, etc!...
