a character from the dark crystal. i also look a bit like him if i go too long without a haircut.

Not that much ever came out of it...

Well, I was being overly ambitious.
I had an endpoint in my mind... Problem was, I tried to do it in to a graphic novel.

I had them on story boards in my hard drive at one point... Hard Drive went kaput, and the back up as well!
It is why I will NEVER buy Western Digital Hard Drives again.

I rememeber when I saw Endless Summer, I got lost in that film.

and as a child it just took me away, everytime. It still stirs me to hear the opening of that song, the strings, wow.

...but, it was always the first thing that came to mind when a Republican would use 'facts' in a discussion. Well, second thing. The first was a headache.

In fact, I still don't get it! LOL

I'm past tired of getting pummeled by the "greatest Generation" and the GenXers.

Love Field (DAL) is closer to the house, but not practical if your destination is farther than across the street (and that's only a SLIGHT exaggeration if you spend half your time stationed overseas!).

And those were things that I wanted to say about me!

Father Sogol was a character from the unfinished novel: "Mount Analogue: A Novel of Symbolically Authentic Non-Euclidean Adventures in Mountain Climbing" by René Daumal. Daumal dropped dead while penning the novel. In the novel, Father Sogol is the leader of the expedition to climb the mysterious mountain that unites Heaven and Earth. Like the fictional character, I am an engineer, writer, hobbyist philosopher and (now retired) high altitude mountain climber.

Sogol wants to wake people up so they can experience life more fully.

They "called me that because of a turn of mind they noticed in me
which led me to reverse, on a trial basis at least, any
statement proposed to me, to invert cause and effect, principle and
consequence, substance and accident. `Sogol' is a rather
childish anagram and somewhat pretentious, but I needed
a name with a good ring to it, and it reminded me of a rule of
thought which had served me well. Thanks to my scientific and
technical knowledge, I soon found jobs in various laboratories
and industrial plants. I readjusted little by little to contemporary
life, but only externally, it's true. For when you come down to it,
I can't bring myself to fall in with this monkey-cage agitation which
people so dramatically call life.'' - Father Sogol

When the net first came along, I posted as Father Sogol, but people scorned me as an actual religious figure, so I shortened it to FSogol.

The first time I saw the term Non-Euclidian was reading about H.P. Lovecraft. I was hooked on the idea of it and trying to imagine how it's expressed. Neat stuff.

I didn't think President Obama was liberal enough. I was accused of being a troll a few times so I had to convince some people I wasn't one. I think the President has kind of moved to the left a little since then and now I kinda want to change it.

It was my favorite book from the assigned reading lists in HS.

flattered by (and in agreement with) that, that my username was simply
a riff off of his.

Turned out "MiddleFingerMom" had some depth to it that was really not
consciously planned... but recognized, nonetheless.

She was born c. 1438. I've never been able to find her full name. She married some guy named John Bird and I've never found anything about him either. I'm descended from their daughter, Anne.

A girl that was with the hood asked one of my friends who I was. He said "Smith, Ohio Smith".
It was a play on a line from the movie Nevada Smith. It stuck. Friends from Columbus still call me Ohio!

By the way, the hood's girlfriend went home with me.

beautiful camp site in the back country of Glacier Park. Also memorable because I got blasted in the face with bear spray while we were there.

And I do use a Mac computer. I've learned to recuse myself from any stories on Apple or Microsoft (even though I use Windows as well and I like it just fine).

Tabbycat--- I used to be owned by a gray Tabby cat (may he rest in peace)

31-- the date I was born (3/31--- sometimes I put the 3 in there sometimes I don't)

. . . who is almost fourteen, still lightning-fast, still smart, and . . . TROUBLE.

where towards the end he casually says "There ain't no life nowhere". When I was a kid learning to play guitar in the late 60s, I lived, breathed, ate, drank, slept Hendrix and even spoke to his posters hanging on my wall. I managed to see three of his live performances and still have the pics I took from the edge of the stage.

and "feminist". I did my grad work in women's studies and admire the early feminists. It just came to me during a morning walk.

I added an "m" because "Femocrat" didn't look or sound right! lol

looking out window... see Salvia....blue Salvia... blue=Democrat...!!! SalviaBlue

Duuurrrrrrrrr. Mama said I wasn't very smart or creative.

I lived on top of a mountain in the woods...and my name is Bob

I picked Blue because I was sad and because I'm a Democrat, _in_AK because I was/am in Alaska. I like it; I use it everywhere now.
