  <description>I&apos;m going to try to explain this as best I can and it&apos;s a hard abstract concept, so bear with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw a series a few years ago that was talking about beauty and what is beauty and it started going into the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_ratio&quot;&gt;Golden Ratio&lt;/a&gt; and how it correlated with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_number&quot;&gt;Fibonacci Series&lt;/a&gt;.  And basically what it boils down to is that mathematically there is a ratio for what is considered &quot;beauty.&quot;  I think the ratio is like 1:1.62.  What that means is that, for example, every 1 inch tall you go, you want to go 1.62 inches over.  So for example, take the number 3 and multiply it times 1.62, you get 4.86.  That&apos;s why photographs are generally cropped in a 3x5 or 4x6 because it&apos;s get the closest to the Golden Ratio.  This is something that they have shown to occur in nature itself.  Things tend to grow in odd numbers..groups of 3 or 5 or whatever.  Seriously, next time you pick a flower or look at a plant.  Look at the number of leaves or petals.  They&apos;re probably odd--which is why a 4 leaf clover is such an anomaly. But anyway...  They started talking about how these calculations could actually be put to music.  So they took (i think it was) St. Paul&apos;s Cathedral in London and basically played music that correlated to how it looked.  In other words they played how it looked.  I hope that makes sense.  Are you with me so far?  Okay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So after I watched that program, I thought to myself, that I must have a sound.  That as a human being, I must have a noise or music that is me.  If a building does, than I must.  Not even using my outer measurements as a person, but if you take the shape of my DNA or my soul, that is singular to me, it must have a sound.  The thought struck me as wonderful and I&apos;ve just kinda kept it with me ever since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This brings me to my name.  There&apos;s a correlation, I swear.  A week ago or something I mentioned on my private blog how much I hated my name.  People call me lots of different things. I&apos;m known by lots of different names depending on who you&apos;re talking to.  So some people made suggestions of names for me and none of them really fit.  So I sat down and thought about it for a while and came to the conclusion that the reason I can&apos;t think of a name for myself is because i don&apos;t see *me* as a name.  I thought to myself &quot;I&apos;m a vibration that I feel emanates dark blue and it makes *this* sound.&quot;  But like I can&apos;t tell you what that sound is.  It&apos;s not like &quot;Oh it&apos;s an F sharp.&quot;  My human self cannot make that sound.  No one can.  It&apos;s the sound that my soul vibrates at, and I feel that everyone has this. Not just me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So this is where it ties in with the whole beauty, DNA, having a particular sound thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have a word that has been put upon me and that&apos;s a name.  But really none of them fit me.  Am I going to walk around being called &quot;The person formerly known as....&quot; uh no.  Just go by whatever you call me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s semantics really.  When someone labels something you have an idea of what it is and what it&apos;s not.  If I say &quot;tree&quot; you may conjure up an Elm, Oak, Weeping Willow, whatever.  But people have a general idea of &quot;tree&quot; and they know that when they&apos;re looking at a lamp, it&apos;s not a tree, because &quot;tree&quot; means *this thing.* And not only does it label that thing *tree* it labels everything *not tree.*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well for me *my name* doesn&apos;t mean *this thing*, *me*.  And what it is, I cannot pronounce.  To pronounce it I would have to cut out your tongue....Sorry, Simpson&apos;s reference there. LOL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So...anyway, my point being in this whole rant is that I don&apos;t have a name.  I have a tonal vibration that I feel emanates the color indigo and a sound.  It has no name and I don&apos;t know how to give it voice or a sound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And since I think everyone has this quality, it makes sense to me when people say &quot;that person gives off a bad vibe.&quot;  On a tonal, vibrational level, you feel a discordance with that person.  Some people there&apos;s a harmony and other&apos;s there&apos;s a discordance.  Just something to think about next time you come across someone that gives off a bad vibe.  It&apos;s kinda like hearing a bad note played in a symphony and you go &quot;ewww yuck dude.  that doesn&apos;t sound good.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does anyone understand me out there?  I hope I made some sense.  Anyone else have this experience? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I swear, I&apos;m not stoned. I think this shit all the time.</description>
