ciao

in italian is hi also.
now you know that I speak italian.1

this is a secretive username that I have used just once before;
on an Anon chatroom (however, it isn't an active username there).
now you know that I'm related in some way to hacktivism.2

Arcana means secret in latin; and is a word that has a lot of meaning.
Some think that words aren't that strong; but names (specially real names) have strength.
now you know that I study languages in an acadamic way.3

108 is the number of beads in my japa mala; which btw has a protective enchantment.
now you know that I'm a buddhist with spell-like skills (or that thinks in such ways).4

I'm not really a fan of magical thinking; but if something works works.
I'm not really a fan of overanalyzing anything; which randomly brings me to this:
now you will know that my favorite band is Tool and that I'm a musician/guitarrist in part because of them.5

6 now you will know that I remember past lives; specially two.
the prior was in devanamanarati according to Buddhist cosmology,
or a habitable planet in Pleione according to western Science.
the prior prior was in Italy, as one of my ancestors.
the prior prior prior was as a tree.

7 now you (will) know that I'm currently listening to Lateralus.
(hey, this doesn't all have to be ultra-secretive points)

8 now you (will) know why it has to be 11...
starting today, I will count weeks in 11 days just as an experiment related to time.

9 now you (will) know that I will probably need another account at 2012forum...
technical issue, or so it seems (paranoid is not a disease, it is the highest level of security).

A now you (will) know that A=11 and that currently I'm listening to an italian song...
as most of the italian songs I have it is romantic.
[browsing...] and now I'm just at shuffle. which brings me back to the randomness concept.
now you (will) know that I'm a true neutral creature with good tendencies (5x5 grid).

B now you will now that you can call me V; as per the first letter of my italian last name.

AboveTopSecret is much like a theme park with many, many rides, with that said...
Here's a few thoughts before getting onto any one of the 1000's of topical rides at Above Top Secret, also known as ATS, the world's largest Civil & Unique Discussion Community.

*** Please be at least this tall to get on any of the rides, (Johnny stretches his arm outward), and act like an 'civil' adult. This will save you a lot of future stress, frustration and possible action by one of your friendly neighborhood Mods!

*** Please remember that some members are very passionate and vocal depending on what ride your on. Before getting on a ride, you should be mentally fit, emotionally stable and have a strong stomach for theories, conjecture, research and evidence presented that may be contrary to your own.

*** Please be "open-minded" enough to understand that sometimes the ride isn't always what you might think or expect. At times, you may learn something new and 'out-of-the-box' before you get off the ride, this is a natural and normal phenomena.

*** Please note that at times the ride gets overly-heated and "it's strongly suggested" to get off the ride to regroup one's thoughts before continuing. This will also help guarantee that the ride will move forward without getting derailed or explode into a fiery trashbin.

*** Please have fun! Be aware if you act in an uncivil-like manner, use profanity, troll, intentionally spread a hoax and/or get verbally abusive, you will be removed off the ride by a Moderator. This is for your safety, & also for those both young and old on the ride with you.

So buckle up, keep your arms within the ride's comfort zone, have fun and "Deny Ignorance"...!

thanks
