Veritas odium parit

About Me


Do not go gentle into that good night,
old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Dylan Thomas

You scored as Strong Egoism. Your life is very much guided by the concept of Egoism: You work primarily to promote your own interests.
?I swear by my life, and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.?
?I am not primarily an advocate of capitalism, but of egoism; and I am not primarily an advocate of egoism, but of reason. If one recognizes the supremacy of reason and applies it consistently, all the rest follows.?
--Ayn Rand

My Interests

My interests are life, philosophy, Mythology (Greco-Roman, demonology, angelology, Holy Grail), the pursuit and acquisition of knowledge and the curious behavior of humans.

I'd like to meet:

No one I haven't already.

Music:

Billy Joel, Dean Martin, John Cougar Mellencamp, Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, Evanescence, Marco Antonio Solís, Alejandro Fernández among other spanish artists, Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Movies:

Arthur Kirkland: That man is guilty! that man, there, that man is a slime! he is a *slime*! If he's supposed to go free, then something really wrong is goin' on here! Judge Rayford: Mr. Kirkland you are out of order! Arthur Kirkland: You're out of order! You're out of order! The whole trial is out of order! They're out of order! That man, that sick, crazy, depraved man, raped and beat that woman there, and he'd like to do it again! It's just a show! It's a show! It's "Let's Make A Deal"! "Let's Make A Deal"! Hey Frank, you wanna "Make A Deal"? I got an insane judge who likes to beat the shit out of women! Whaddya wanna gimme Frank, 3 weeks probation? Frank Bowers: DAMMIT! Arthur Kirkland: [to Judge Fleming] You, you sonofabitch, you! You're supposed to STAND for somethin'! You're supposed to protect people! But instead you rape and murder them! [dragged out of court by bailiffs] You killed McCullough! You killed him! Hold it! Hold it! I just completed my opening statement! -...And Justice For AllVoilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. Agent Smith: Why, Mr. Anderson? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something? For more that your survival? Can you tell me what it is? Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist? Neo: Because I choose to.

Books:

I love to read and I read every day. I like books that make me think so I read a lot of non- fiction books about various esoteric subjects such as free masons and politics and also philosophy such as The Prince or Utopia. In terms of fiction I like mystery books, science fiction, and anything by Ayn Rand. One of the judges, acting as prosecutor, had read the charges. "You may now offer whatever plea you wish to make in your own defence, " he announced. Facing the platform, his voice inflectionless and peculiarly clear, Hank Rearden answered:"I have no defence.""Do you --" The judge stumbled; he had not expected it to be that easy. "Do you throw yourself upon the mercy of this court?""I do not recognise this court's right to try me.""What?""I do not recognise this court's right to try me.""But, Mr. Rearden, this is the legally appointed court to try this particular category of crime.""I do not recognise my action as a crime.""But you have admitted that you have broken our regulations controlling the sale of your Metal.""I do not recognise your right to control the sale of my Metal.""Is it necessary for me to point out that your recognition was not required?""No. I am fully aware of it and I am acting accordingly." Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rand

Heroes:

Myself-I wish to do better and therefore I push myself to go beyond what I think I can do. I do have to thank my family for being therefor me and the writings of Ayn Rand to help forge my philosophy as well as Prometheus.
