Yes - there's a bit of me that wants to fall in love with Galadriel (you can tell I'm reading TLOTR at present ) and discuss our lost history with learned mages reading from leather bound books. Tell me there isn't a bit of you that doesn't want to as well!

Certainly, I do pine for an age of magic!

You see I'm very unlucky with electrical equipement. My guitar and my guitar amplifier, having brought them home broken and repaired by me, are now both nackered again. Something beyond explanation.
My MIDI keyboard pitch wheel is defunct, so that when I attempt to record MIDI music it warps out of tune.
And just recently my Proline CD walkman suddenly ceased to work. I think the anti shock function wasn't tip top to begin with and it's now too sensitive for use - the spin of the disc is enough to switch it off.
On a trip to Scotland last month I brought back a mini stereo guitar amplifier, on the basis that I should buy myself a shiny new guitar. Now I wonder how long it will last, and is it worth the cost to simply repair the broken guitar again.

I do believe in electrostatic magic - a human quality that transforms material atomic structure - requiring no need from an old leather bound book

I do not pine for an age of magic. I all ready left such a system behind, I prefer the age of Cosmic Indifference and Absurdity!

Cosmic Indifference and Absurdity!

Cosmic Indifference
Over the weekend I was reading notes on the nature of neutrinos - it occured to me that opening the Chakras was akin to the positioning of radio telescopes, like the Jansky VLA in New Mexico - tuning into the voice of God.

Absurdity!
Refining such a study might expand and encompass the stars and the constellations - hearing the music of the spheres.

Oh, duuuuuuudddde! From all I've read of you, you could definitely roughly adhere to a thought of "Cosmic Indifference" [[especially in the sense that the physical laws of nature/universe don't give a shit about you or anything. cuz they can't. If there is any other sense of it.]]

Which everyone should.

But there is no way you live/act---at least from how you speak/tell here--- according to most schools of the Absurd.
At most, you'd be in/on the "Well, yea, absurd...BUT" realms/paths.
[[and one of the roughly optimistic ones, as opposed to totally pessimistic ones]]

I disagree, I'm an absurdist in a Camus sort of way, where nothing has meaning or occurs due to any meaningful plan, but in the end you can embrace that absurdity and create your own purpose (I don't know if the "create your own purpose" is part of Camus, but I think it would fit so long as I know it is me creating it and not an intrinsic part of the metaphysical fabric of the universe).

And like Camus, I'm incredibly handsome and single

Heh...that's precisely what I meant by "Absurd...BUT".

On the second...Really? I might know some ladies...or gentlemen, depending on your preference...that are totally absurd, attractive, and single. What's your info/location?? [[as long as you aren't, also like Camus, quite dead.]]

[Fist and Faith]

It just so happens he's only MOSTLY dead.

I also have not won a Nobel Prize in Literature, but I might break it off with some friends over communism

I concur, I see nothing but the absurd in Orlion lols

And that is indeed a big plus on the dating scene, blind or otherwise
