New member, old reader :)

Hello! I've been reading ATS for a number of years now and was trying to remember when I first started frequenting this site but I couldn't. It's been about 3-4 years though so I finally decided it's about time I stopped lurking in the shadows and actually introduce myself around here.

I consider myself to be a bit of a skeptical believer. I've always thought there was more to this reality we live in than what we are aware of or are led to believe but I'm also the type that needs to see and analyze everything logically for myself before I really believe anything. I'm a bit of an information junkie and my interests range anywhere from the paranormal to the metaphysical, from survivalism to cryptozoology, naturalism, spirituality and pretty much everything in between. Over the years I've also come to be a fairly big truther when it comes to the MSM and the sheer volume of misinformation and outright fallacies they put out there to keep everyone distracted and disinterested.

You probably wont ever see me accumulate a huge post count as I tend not to post on topics unless I feel I actually have something worthwhile to contribute to the discussion. Now that I've finally made myself an account here however, you may just see me pop in from time to time to add a couple cents worth of insight here and there if I feel the need.

In closing, I'd like to thank ATS and those who run it for providing this bastion of free information and for continuing to give all us truthers and questioners out there a forum to hash out our thoughts, ideas and experiences. Unfortunately in this day and age, resources like this are becoming fewer and farther between so it definitely makes you appreciate sites like this all the more.

Cheers!

Welcome to ATS Sonder! Glad you're here.

Look forward to seeing you on the boards.

Thanks for the welcomes! I've been meaning to make an introductory thread for a little while now as there's been a number of topics I wanted to chime in on but I always felt a little weird just jumping right in to posting without at least saying hi first. So with that in mind, this is me officially (finally) saying hi!

Welcome old Sonder! You got an excellent start on that profile "Location: The Desert of the Real".



At first I was gonna give you this matrix as a warming gift. But then, I figured, you already had one!

Are you into the matrix? If so, keep an eye on the philosophical and the gray area and the skunk works. There have been many, many matrix threads since I have been here. It goes in cycles. You might see one tomorrow or next week or next month. And next month there will be three or four matrix threads.

Any way, don't be a creepy lurker! Best regards,

SayonaraJupiter

Thanks for that one! I thought there might be some around here who'd pick up on that reference. The Matrix tweaked my mind pretty good when it first came out and I've been a fan of it since.. though I'll admit I've always been a bit of a sci-fi geek in general so that may have had something to do with it.

Heya Sonder!
