Lynx Game and Draconity...

baphnediaI managed to make my first hockey game. When it comes to sports, I prefer those that have constant action; and hockey fits the bill pretty nicely. The other good thing about hockey is that the local team, the Augusta Lynx, tickets only cost $10 or so, attending games isn't a financial burden.
I found a car I'm willing to buy (so long as it doesn't have any major problems noted when I check it's VIN. It's an '02 Nissan Altima, blue, w/ 30k miles on it, and a warranty that goes to 75k. The current owner just wants to transfer the lease, and should the leasing agency be reputable, I might go ahead and finance the remaining amount; preferrably through the manufacturer, if I can. I'm looking at May timeframe to actually get the car, when the current owner won't need it anymore.
Of course, prior to this, I must get a license. Not much of a problem, I just let my overseas license go a little long without getting a license here, stateside. Oh well. So I have to take the written test. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be a lot easier than the one I took in Europe.
I'm almost afraid of posting my old blog archive here...it's around 200 entries; but, that'd be too much work; so I'll probably post the whole thing as a single entry, and make it notable...or something.
Thanks to the writings of a few friends of mine, I won't put names here just yet...I'm beginning to undergo a personal philosophy change. That's about the best I can put it. I'm not religious, in the normal sense. I hold my own beliefs, and up until now, all of them extended from myself outward. However, I've long been afraid to look too deeply within, and I'm finding a few correlations and the (supposedly odd) association with dragons to be (out of the) ordinary. So. Am I a dragon?
Correlation #1: My major way of dealing with enemies (ones who have a personal vendetta against me; of which there might be all of one), is to outlive them. I haven't yet identified if I feel this way on some kind of spiritual level; as I rationally know that physically, I might not live for hundreds of years...
Correlation #2: My habit of long-term planning. Usually, when people ask me what are my short term plans, I tell them about retiring from the military in 16 years. That throws them off a little bit. This applies to investment planning, personal goals, anything and everything.
Correlation #3: I see myself with my minds eye as something that's definitely not human. My enjoyment of immersion (in water) has had quite an effect to my personal appearance.
Correlation #4: I have almost a lack of concern for the present. I'm either looking at the past with vast scrutiny, or into the future (not fortelling, predicting, or anything), based on the actions and attitudes of those I know, and the likely choices they're going to make on issues that I know about. The present, pretty much takes care of itself.
Correlation #5: I live it in my dreams. Of skydiving without a parachute; only to transform and a dive-bomb maneuver to straighten out. I can't express with words that kind of exhileration. Perhaps I'm feeling Were. There are three distinct forms that I dream about. Human, Anthrodraconic (not a large size increase, but many shared attributes as both), and full-blown Dragon.
I'm not speaking on a physical matter here; to me this is an entire spiritual facet to my existance. My other philosophies still hold as true as they were before.
Speaking of those dreams, after such a great hockey game, I'm going to return to them. If I could, I would be a compulsive sleeper for lack of being able to change in an observable manner.
EDIT
As far as my name goes, I'm still Baph. I occasionally dream about a black, sleek dragonness, and while I have my own name for her, I usually consider her my 'mother'. Again, this is spiritual. The laws of comprehensive/comparative reality (not episcopal reality - this isn't a religious referrence), do something. Ack. I got sidetracked over the differences of c/c vs. e. realities. I'll have to write about that later.
Many lines are a bit muddy right now, and grey is my favorite color (despite myself being something other than grey), life isn't black and white. I'll figure the rest out, or rather, let the rest define itself. Having a portrait will help a lot, when I get one. I'm tired, and the sea is calling...
/EDIT
So. There it is. I am a dragon. If you think I am a crazy, fringe freak or something, deal with it. Like I always say:
What happens, happens. So shut up and enjoy the ride.
