ABOUT ME

I prefer to think of myself as a scientist, or a journalist. Seeking out the truth wherever it may be found, understanding the logic behind everything, finding out and verifying, analyzing, testing, dissecting, asking questions along the way. I like to know things, grasp the fundamental ideas, appreciate how the world works and seize the meaning beneath its smoky veneer; every word, every gesture, every nuance, every suggestion or implication or hint; every little thing including the ones that don't concern me (but especially the ones that do). I am curious. Curiosity may have killed the cat, and will probably kill me one day, but at least it died for a good cause. Having an inquisitive mind, it gives me a sense of satisfaction when I'm able to take something apart (both literally and metaphorically) and figure out every single element, making the sum of the parts all the more intriguing. It's true the more you know, the more you realize that you actually don't know much of anything. And since Mr. Know-It-All doesn't know it all, I'm constantly searching for answers. I may not ask all the right questions, though, which is something I'm trying to work at. The intention is not to interrogate (as those who know me call my method of questioning), but to learn. As I've said before, I can be disconnected from everything. Living in my own world exacerbates the need to know more about the outside world; isolation leads to the perception that you're the center of the universe (making your fall from grace a lot more painful than it's supposed to be). Keeping your head in the clouds makes you high, but you can no longer walk in a straight line and you're beginning to see things that aren't there. My refusal to let go might actually be an attempt to cling on to something real, something tangible, to keep my feet on the ground-a boat lost at sea needs an anchor before it can get its bearings right.
