I don't have much to say about who I am and what I believe, except that I think you should read these words and apply them to your life in as many ways as you see fit:


I have come curiously close to the end, down, Beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole. Defeated, I concede and move closer... I may find comfort here; I may find peace within the emptiness. How pitiful.

It's calling me...

And in my darkest moment, fetal and weeping, The moon tells me a secret - my confidant. As full and bright as I am, this light is not my own, and a million light reflections pass over me.

Its source is bright and endless: She resuscitates the hopeless. Without her, we are lifeless satellites drifting.

And as I pull my head out, I am without one doubt. I don't want to be down here feeding my narcissism. I must crucify the ego before it's far too late. I pray the light lifts me out before I pine away...

So crucify the ego, before it's far too late To leave behind this place so negative and blind and cynical, And you will come to find that we are all one mind Capable of all that's imagined and all conceivable.

Just let the light touch you, And let the words spill and pass right through, Bringing out our hope and reason before we pine away.


"Reflection" Lateralus Tool


For the record...

edit

I joined to Wikipedia in order to edit the Tool article. That encompasses most of my time with wikipedia, as I am a big fan of theirs. I quickly put a wing over the pages of Tool's band members as well, watching them and making sure no inaccuracies were made. This started when I noticed that guitarist and art director Adam Jones' page was very much about vocalist Maynard James Keenan instead. Now I watch over them all, although I tend to leave Maynard's alone because that page seems quite popular already and the other band members deserve as much attention.

Other Favorites

I'm somewhat eclectic in my tastes, but only relatively. The truth is a lot of my favorite musicians can be linked together without much effort. I would say they all deserve a lot of attention.
