    hi guys,

    what to say, alex is my real name, but not unique(how many alex?) so an underscore front and behind makes him unigue..

    The avatar, it is a gif, that i do not see moving, i've created when 7 comes out, and i like felix, as a cartoon and why he is a symbol of United States Navy strike fighter squadron VF-31 the tomcatters....

    Remember the Top Gun movie???

    I think this is why I like you so much cody ;) I work basically for the most extreme anarchist/activists in California and they know better than things are fine in the world and so forth...lol Things are not fooken fine! Anyways I like your avatar and it's expression of your questioning authority and standing up to the powers that be, etc...

    Power to the people :shisha:

    When I'm in NY I avoid crosswalks or anything, always wandering the streets, but those were my younger years,

    I am not sure if I explained mine yet, but here goes.
    I love music, love to make music, I see music as a pure connection to emotion,
    and I aim to make beautiful music.

    Now Aesthetics in the dictionary states, (Just listing a few)

    • the study of the mind and emotions in relation to the sense of beauty.
    • pertaining to a sense of the beautiful or to the science of aesthetics.
    • having a sense of the beautiful; characterized by a love of beauty.
    • pertaining to, involving, or concerned with pure emotion and sensation as opposed to pure intellectuality.
    • a philosophical theory or idea of what is aesthetically valid at a given time and place: the clean lines, bare surfaces, and sense of space that bespeak the machine-age aesthetic.

    I never really had a basic understanding of the word when I chose it over a decade ago, but with the research, I felt it was a great fit. I changed up a few letters to make it look interesting.

    Years ago back in AOL chat days, I used the AIM handle Eternlloveoflife, I translated 'Eternal' to another language and Irish Gaelic came up with Siorai, though I pronounce it See-Or-Aye. It's just sorta stuck with me over the years.

    For me, it is simply my real name :confused:
    Avatar is my son's photo while sitting in front of my PC.

    However, I put the photo of Brad Pitt (TROY) as a photo for my profile, I like that movie too much.


    No fantasy - No imagination, how poor I'm!! :D
