Sniper3!6

Uh about me? Well as a computer animation student, I like digital art and always agreed that pics say 1000 words. If we met I don't think you'd consider me aloof..but it's very common for me to lose myself in something whether it's a good discussion, martial arts, visual arts, poetry, moshing, skating, video games, anime, music production, dancing badly lol, watching a movie, or watching nothing in particular and staring off into space. I drift off almost as therapy to help me escape this crazy world ruled by fools and their egos. As much as those types have and will continue to disappoint me though, I won't be broken cause I know bad examples don't sum up the rest. btw I noticed how many people get turned off by someone who's "religious" so go ahead if you have to...because I believe there is a God. And yes I already know the reputation of organized religion is in shambles because of selfish hypocrites, but I don't let reputations control the way I think- so I don't experience this aversion. It was through God I personally learned what love for ALL people is about, and how respect should be given where it's due; but I no longer care about impressing anyone. You are who you are and I am who I am- just another explorer passing through. Curious enough that I've been known to try and scare myself lol just to further understand this response called fear (outside of its tendency to paralyze). So many of us let intimidation by the unknown be crippling, but I can't let myself be disabled this way. I want to know about the yins and the yangs of life, so even foggy woods and dark cemeteries are beautiful to me. Anyway, yeah life is a tough thing to figure out, but later on I'd like to eventually do motion picture visual fx, be a performance shop tech or train/instruct martial arts in Asia.. as all of these already bring me joy. Right now we practice TangSuDo, a derivative of the popular style of TaeKwonDo.
If you've added me, you've probably seen my sig and wondered what all the craziness means. Many have asked me to relate the meaning of it but for some reason, till now I've never felt a need to explain myself. To answer your questions, it's a combination of several ideas, all having to do with what I'm trying to achieve: fullness and balance. The diagram is of a human sitting Lotus Posture which is common in Yoga and meditation. You may have heard of so-called chakras of the body where different vital energies converge. (if not, there's more in-depth information on Chakras here) The lines and shapes roughly map out the routes these energies take in communicating to different parts of the body and mind. The sun and moon of course symbolize cooperative opposites like yin|yang, death|life, cool|warm, night|day etc... and the SPIRAL is just my favourite shape in nature--a piece of sacred geometry that imbues all life and is likewise imbued into infinity. R7IT [Ringworm 7 Inversion Theory] sums up my past and my future goals. Since I'm a fan of the dynamically creepy Japanese film series "Ring" I'm a Ringworm :) and the number 7 often ascribes wholeness/completion; things such as the number of days it took for God to create physicality, and the number of chakras in the body come to mind...but look around and the list continues. An Inversion Theory is actually a experimental path towards correctness in a given procedure, in my case life. One CAPITA Engineering website says:
"A common problem arising in science is the need to determine the true input data given the observed responses of a system. This is an inversion process, whereby indirect measurements are used to understand and reconstruct unknown features of a system."
You can see how this might help in picking out flaws to refine the data set as a whole. I.T. is a lot like watching Donnie Darko, since it forces you to make logical connections by leaping forward and backward through time. When things get stressful, I'm trying to re-trace my steps to missing pieces that seem so obvious when I find them.

Some of my art
"Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
--Howard Thurman
"O Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me! I am small, weak, and I need your wisdom and strength. Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes behold the red and purple sunset. Make my hands respect the things you have made, and my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise so that I may understand what you have taught my people. Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every rock and leaf. I seek strength not to be greater than others, but to fight my greatest enemy: myself. Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes so when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit my come to you without shame."
--Tekakwitha
"I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love
will have the final word in reality."
--Martin Luther King Jr.
"Not thinking about anything is Zen. Once you know this, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, everything you do is Zen. To know that the mind is empty is to see the Buddha... Using the mind to look for reality is delusion. Not using the mind to look for reality is awareness. Freeing oneself from words is liberation."
--Bodhidharma
"Where there is beauty, there is ugliness. When something is right, something else is wrong. Knowledge and ignorance depend on each other. It has been like this since the beginning. How could it be otherwise now? Wanting to toss out one and hold onto the other makes for a ridiculous comedy. You must still deal with everything ever-changing, even when you say its wonderful."
--Ryokan
"When a man does what needs to be done,
he does not know the meaning of time."
--Chief Dan George
"There are countless ingredients that make up the human body and mind. Like all the components that make up me as an individual with my own personality. Sure I have a face and voice to distinguish myself from others, but my thoughts and memories are unique only to me, and I carry a sense of my own destiny. Each of those things are just a small part of it. I collect information to use in my own way. All of that blends to create a mixture that forms me, and gives rise to my conscience. I feel confined, only free to expand myself within boundaries."
--Motoko Kusanagi
