  • Biography/Intro
    My real name is Pete Caya. I am a Senior at Scio Central School in Scio, New York. I was introduced to objectivism by an internet quiz when I was fourteen, however I did not pick up on it until I was sixteen. At school I am involved in track, volleyball, the school newspaper and drama club. The activities I enjoy most are weightlifting and playing bass guitar. I look up to Frank Zappa as a role model in the area of music and spend hours practicing every night. I am told that I am as good as many people that have played three years, though I say that isn't saying much seeing as most bass players are content to play root notes. Jogging and weightlifting pretty much cover up most of the rest of my free time. The rest of my time is spent with friends, usually going to local concerts on Fridays and Saturdays. If anyone wants to IM me my AIM is ozman6613

    I was just listening to this on Rush Limbaugh. There needs to be more people like this man who come off as reasonable to people when they end up getting played on television and radio.

    Glenn Beck made a very good point in one of his radio shows though when he told his listeners not to do anything extreme. He said that they should arm themselves, or do anything that might be viewed as violent because the moment that happens everyone loses. It scares me to think how right he is though. All it would take is someting like two people getting in a fight and one of them pulling a knife, or someone shouting death threats at Obama to make this issue explode.

    I had just heard of this guy when I opened this thread and then I checked out his website. Holy crap! It's like a treasure trove of inspirational writings. Even if the guy is a crack pot now his earlier writings are fantastic! If what you say is true, it's a shame.

    Frank Zappa is the composer I admire most. I love all of his stuff, from the Jazz Fusion style he pioneered on Hot Rats, to the sonic experiments of Jazz From Hell to the blues and rock oriented stuff off of Apostrophe. I also enjoy Gustav Mahler, Fran Liszt (his stuff is so over the top and I love it), Tchaikovsky, Paganini and Vivaldi. I also like Stevie Wonder, Metallica (especially the stuff Cliff Burton wrote), prog metal like Dream Theater and Kamelot and Jazz like Weather Report.

    Don't forget that lyrics wise, you can't find an album with more sense of life than Dream Theater's Images and Words: The unbroken spirit Obscured and disquiet Finds clearness this trial demands And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief For the fortune lies still in his hands Of course there are a large number of bands that sound like a smear of sound with hateful lyrics grunted loudly, but it's important to realize that these are not all that metal has to offer. This is as ridiculous as fundamental Christians doing exactly what they think Jesus would do, and often coming up wrong. Who cares whether Ayn Rand would have liked bands like Megadeth or Iron Maiden? I enjoy the music and they way the lyrics are put together, that's all the matters to me.

    Lucretia anyone?

    I live about fifteen miles outside a tiny town called Wellsville. It's cool seeing someone that lives as close as Elmira.

    Whenever I think of the title of this movie I can't help but think of an elephant listening Baba O'Riley.

    Also keep in mind that Rome obtained much of it's wealth from the conquests of other nations.

    Congratulations, that's a pretty sweet deal!

    I read his son's book "Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens" a few months back for a book club. It was written by Covey's son and is basically a rehash of his father's rules. The book seems to be part valid and part mush, but I did get a few good things out of it.

    I thought that people using only 15% of their brains was considered an urban legend.

    I know it's not something I can do anything about, but none the less it does bother me. I guess I should worry more about the insecurity than the perceived problem though.

    I was told that my IQ is about a 95 which essentially means that I am in the lower average range. It sickens me that I am actually barred this way and that no matter how hard I work I won't be able to understand as quickly or comprehend things on the same way as many of my peers. Is there anything I can do to change it?
