My name is Sage, Nydus, or Liam. I prefer Sage.

Im 24 years of age.
Im currently looking into college.
I am single, and I'm not sure I'm looking for any kind of relationship. Too many bad memories, too many false hopes. And it will probably remain that way for sometime. I'm honestly not sure I believe in the concept of "true love". I'm sick of being lied to, and I'm sick of being betrayed. Its going to take one HELL of a girl to make me walk down that path ever again. I'm fed up with heartache, so for now I go it alone.

I'm extremely smart, very wise, a little dark, a bit eccentric, goofy, laid back, honest, sometimes reserved, a logical thinker but also a dreamer, balanced, I can be caring if I wish, fun loving, patient and anything but normal. Fuck normal. =) Im going to live my life the way I want to. I don't live it for others, or live how others want me to. I want to live life to its fullest, the way I want to live. And if someone doesn't like who I am or what I do, they can get the out of my life. Easy choice.

I try to be a very open minded person. I try to do as much good as I can. I'm big supporter of compromise and diversity. Ill always hear what you have to say, if your willing to hear me out too. I'm willing to try and understand where you stand, your point of view, if your willing to hear me and understand mine. I have a soldier like mentality. I'm a survivalist, and try to aim my decisions not just based on personal good, but the greater good as well. I tend to roll with the punches. I don't take kindly to being used or betrayed. In fact, ask a few people on here, and you'll realize it will be your last action concerning any kind of kindness from me.

My quotes reflect my view on many things...

Philosophies:

"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
- William Shakespeare, "As You Like It", Act 5 scene 1
English dramatist & poet (1564 - 1616)

"It doesnt matter how much power you gather or gain. What matters, is what you do with the power you have."
"Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired."
- Titus Maccius Plautus, Trinummus
Roman comic dramatist (254 BC - 184 BC)


"To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe."
- Marilyn vos Savant


To be patriotic, hate all nations but your own; To be religious, all sects but your own; To be moral, all pretenses but your own. - Unknown Author

"What we leave behind is not as important as how we've lived. After all. We're only mortal." - Unknown Author

"To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist." - President Obama, Inaugural Speech

"The very fact that you feel you have learned all you need to know only further proves that you have not."

"Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes."

"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."
- Bertrand Russell
British author, mathematician, & philosopher (1872 - 1970)


Be who you are, love what you love, do what you do. Who ever doesnt take you for who are isnt worth keeping around. As long as you know yourself, thats all that matters. And NO ONE can take that from you.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
- Albert Einstein
US (German-born) physicist (1879 - 1955)


Will the impossible - Accept the inevitable.

Death is not the light going out, its the lamp being doused because the dawn has come...

The highest form of control is knowing when to let go.

A teacher teaches the student to teach himself.

Sometimes, an illusion is required in our lives. Not to hide to truth, or to lie to us. But to endure it.

Always expect the unexpected.

If heartbreak could be forged into a weapon, the four horseman would tremble.

Laugh til it hurts - cry till you laugh.

Trust someone not for what they say, but because, like a bridge, you can venture out on them without fear of collapse.

"Human beings can not receive answers to questions they have never asked"

There is no uncertainty; there is confidence.

There is no weakness; there is strength.

There is no emotion; there is peace.

There is no passion; there is serenity.

There is no fear; there is understanding.

There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.

There is no hate; there is unity.

There is no struggle; there is acceptance.

There is no pain; there is healing.

There is no chaos; there is balance.

There is no end; there is eternity.


Wanna know anything about me, ask.

I like anything in black. It's a well rounded color.

Music. Music = Life.

Severe Thunderstorms. I'm a storm chaser and have been studying storm chasing and severe weather since I was 4. It's as much a part of me as breathing.

I'm obsessed with science fiction. Star Trek, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate. Especially the technology involved. Im VERY into science. It's who I am, and i love it.

The Minnesota Renaissance Festival.

Singing.

The martial arts and swordsmanship.

Video games? Counter-strike, Rockband 2, Test Drive Unleashed, DOOM, Jedi Academy, Mass Effect 1 & 2, Half-Life, Star Wars: the Force Unleashed, Modern Warfare 2, Star Trek Online, Neverwinter Nights, Starcraft, Starcraft 2, Forza Motorsport 3, FEAR, Diablo 2 and now 3.

Anything Irish or with a Celtic style. It's my heritage.

Coffee. I'm addicted to caffeine.

Victorian-Style homes. They're wicked looking. Hell, anything Victorian is amazing.

Buffy tVS and Angel the series. It's brilliant, well written and really makes you think. The humor is great too. Just about anything Whedon does is great. Firefly & Serenity included. XD

The full moon's light on a warm autumn night in October at the Renaissance Festival grounds, while the clouds are just wisps. And everything is covered in a soft glow after a rain storm, a breeze blowing slightly making the leaves hiss quietly... That's my heaven.

Autumn. It has an entrancing ambiance to it.

Being in nature. Taking walks in forests, hiking, adventuring.

The occult and the paranormal.

Vampires, werewolves, ghosts, etc.

Cars. I'm not obsessed, It's just a passing interest.

Top Gear. Amazing show. ^_^

The darkness. When ever I'm on the computer at night its pitch black in the room.

Art, in general. It pulls at the imagination like the moon does to the tides.

Rain...and possibly kissing in it...something I need to try yet though.

I LOVE lightsabers. Seriously.

Introversion.

Helping people. I'm called Sage for a reason.

VF Chat. XD

Long road trips. There is nothing like being on the open road.

Deviant Art.

Going into the Twin Cities at night is pretty damn fun. End.

Pretzels

Do not simply add me as a friend without talking to me first. You WILL be deleted and blocked. I dont accept friend whores.

Betrayal. Do not walk into my life making me feel amazing, worthwhile, hopeful, and then slowly rip it all away. Its cold, its EXTREMELY selfish, its cruel, and you will earn an enemy.

Assumptions and generally judgmental people. It sickens me.

Blind Ignorance.

Zealous Fanaticism.

Corruption.

When someone gets angry at ME for misunderstanding me. Completely foolish.

Similarly, when someone isn't direct with me, and then when I dont completely understand, they get mad at me. I love that. Basically, misunderstandings that are blamed on any one person.

Some people's lack of compassion, forgiveness, generosity, and over all intelligence.

People who are judgmental. Who jump to conclusions without thinking it through. I love that.

Over impatience.

Fanatic senseless hatred in general.
