First...

...I created this blog...

...and now, after much deliberation, and reading a blog that argues for carrying weapons at all times, I present to you one that I dedicate to myself (read the fine URL baby!)

Why? Because I feel that I should start exploiting my name a little more than I have in the past.

Why? Because I think this name is so memorable. Once a person can pronounce my name, it becomes relatively difficult to forget it. And with that name comes exclusivity and a higher chance that you will remember the man that comes with the name.

This change comes with my decision to never introduce myself as Alex, or as both Gylmar and Alex ever again. I'm done confusing people with something trivial, which brings me one step closer to achieving a goal of mine which is speaking with absolute clarity.

I feel that this will also bring me closer to those of you who called me Alex. I feel that just as Gylmar makes me exclusive, calling me "Alex" will make me feel exclusive to those who still call me it just because it will be reminiscent of those good ol' days. haha

Now, let me tell you the real reason I am creating this blog.

Throughout the last year I've been having many philosophical moments, making me wonder why I am the way I am in a psychological sense. I'd keep asking why, why and why and eventually found out why I am the way I am physically through recollections of old history books. This involved religion and war. Oh yes, I need to know everything.

There is no psychological record though, other than my fallible memory. I'd actually been posting many Myspace bulletins sharing what I thought. Unfortunately, those bulletins are deleted after two weeks, I only saved one bulletin which I thought was blogworthy. I'll post that one here later.

And so, this will be my history book, you are welcomed to read it, comment it, and even call me Alex on it.
