I'd like to start this thing out by saying a bit about me. What I'm like, what I care about, where I came from... that sort of thing. I am... a short, hairy, bouncy, affectionate boy. I'm a mild-mannered, extremely passionate, annoyingly logical, clever, questioning, emotional, curious, forgiving man. I'm a frightened, lonely, hopeful, anxious, quiet, loving being. I question long, I cry often, I seek knowledge obsessivly.
I love the living and try to understand everything I can about them so I can be fair, respectful, and honourable in my dealings with them. I crave desperately to ease the suffering of the living. I gaze longingly into the mystery of the stars. I peer hopefully into the fog of ancient history. All that lives and all that has lived and all that may live fascinate me to no end.
I am being created by this journey I'm on. I don't know where it will take me. I try my best to understand where I've been. I look at the threads of existance that make up my fears and doubts and dreams. The things that led to this moment. I balance very gently on the edge of my sanity, trying to find ways to get life to let me ease by, so I can stay here and keep seeing things. I see as much as I can, for as long as I can. I want to know myself, and I want to know the world.
I want to let my ideas spread out like fingers of light, and touch the minds of anyone who sees them. I would like to make a difference. I would like to let you see me, and learn how to see you. I would like to let anyone who struggles with being odd or unaccepted see that they are most definitely not alone. I would like to let anyone who thinks that different groups of humans have fundamental differences that cannot be overcome know that we are not as separate as most people think.
I care passionately about non-human animal rights, children's rights, the rights of oppressed minorities or majorities, the thoughts of people (humans and non-humans alike), the happiness of people, the present and future well-being of people... I'll tell you more next time.

The Beginning
This is the start of what I hope is the record of the next part of my journey. The next things that come into my head. The next metamorphoses I go through. I'm looking forward to logging my mind, and sharing it with the world. I never know where it's going to go, but I've determined that I have something to share.
I think about a lot of things. Life. The process of being alive and having a mind. The way things work. Where we're at in the world and where we can go. What we need from each other to reach our potential. All of us. I'm going to talk about myself, because I think my story needs to be shared.
I'm going to talk about my ideas, because I think they will be useful to some people. I'm going to talk about my life, because I'd like to let people see where it goes. And I'll probably talk about other things that I don't even know I want to talk about yet, because my mind changes like seasons and I never know exactly where I'm going. This venture is very open, and I hope it will be instrumental in my part of breaking the sound of silence.
