The Heart of the Matter

I can say an inordinate amount of stuff about myself, but when it comes down to the question of "who am I", I find it's kind of hard to say anything.

I do a lot of different stuff. I'm into network security professionally, but it's not what I started out to do. Consequently, while I enjoy it and I'm really good at it, it's not the only thing that trips my trigger. In addition, I geek about languages, fiber, cooking, music (primarily singing, but I do play several instruments), and writing. I also code, a little. Trying to do more of that.

So that's what I do. When I'm not busy with something, which is pretty rare, I'm either sleeping or meditating. I'm on a quest for spiritual purity, which I suppose sounds like I'm some sort of nun, but, ha ha, nothing could really be further than the truth. What I really mean by that is that through a combination of passion and compassion I hope to achieve real enlightenment. It's a long road.

And yeah, I'm a very passionate person. I try to direct that passion constructively but I don't always succeed. Still, it's a process, you know? Sometimes there's pain, and OMG drawmah. I try to minimize that. My intentions are good.

So that's me: geeky, thoughtful, passionate. You wanna get to know me? Navigation's on the left.
