A Welcomed Surprise...

strange interactions
welcome and unexpected
when they're of substance

Something strange happened to me today -- I received an email from someone who had been reading not only my blog but my .mac site as well. Basically the email said that he enjoyed reading my blog and was interested in getting to know me. Feeling slightly intrigued, I responded back to his email and to my great surprise I found an intelligent creature on the other end, The Scientist from the North.

At 24 years of age, The Scientist from the North is working on his PhD in linguistic anthropology. He's a Sagittarius whose birthday falls on the 20th of December. He is a Latino of Puerto Rican descent who that grew up in Rochester and now teaches civics to high school students in Chi-town while working on his degree. In addition to these things, he's adorable...

But come on now, let's be realistic... Is this another one of life's cruel games or is there really potential for more than playing phone tag and chatting on AIM?

Personally I'm holding out for option B. I had spoken to Azteca about this, and he laughed at me. He had said that I was the only person he knew that would travel to Chicago for a piece of ass. I took offense to this because for the past 72 hours The Scientist from the North and I have been having some hard core debates on social issues and the state of homo affairs as they exist both in the real world and online. Some might believe that these are staple Chulo topics of conversation, and while it may be true that I've shared my thoughts on these topics in the past, the last time I have really gone at it like this was when Zayra'kotu and I would lock horns in the frozen tundra.

Something inside is telling us to be careful but at the same time there are voices inside of our head that are encouraging the behaviour of pushing the envelope in order to not only test limits, but also to find out what's really going on inside of his head.

It's interesting -- he discovered eljangueo, the main news outlet for The Nation of Chulo, while perusing The Flyer Boy's blog. After he arrived, he made certain assumptions about Chulo that after actually asking questions about he later found out to be not accurate in their entirety. I don't believe I turned out to be a disappointment, but I was definitely different than what he was expecting to find.

We all know that I'm not one to give up face value all at once. Like an Ogre, Chulo has layers and it's only thru careful examination that you can get to them all. I'm sure that by the time the roller coaster reaches its peak, The Scientist from the North will realise that all he expected to find is right there before him, he just needs to open his eyes and be receptive to the fact that it's filed under a different name.

Please keep your arms and legs inside the car at all times and pull the bar as far down onto your lap as possible...
