If you're really interested in what it says here, you're probably bored as hell.

What's to say?
I am The (original) Paroxyzm, however, over the last few years, i've gone by
other names... Tesseract, Ep1k, ][os, Hypercube, Symsonic, Archatos ... just to name a
few. I've kinda lost track

Okay... the juicy stuff.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’07
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term
benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no
basis more reliable
than my own meandering experience…I will dispense this advice now. Enjoy the power and
beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not understand the power and beauty of your
youth until they have faded.

But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you
can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really
looked….You’re not as fat as you
imagine. Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as
trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life
are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at
4pm on some idle Tuesday. Do one thing everyday that scares you Sing Don’t be reckless
with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours. Floss
Don’t waste your time on jealousy; sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind…the
race is long, and in the end, it’s only with yourself.

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults; if you succeed in doing this,
tell me how. Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements. Stretch
Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life…the most
interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives, some
of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t. Get plenty of calcium. Be kind to
your knees, you’ll miss them when they’re gone.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t, maybe you’ll have children,maybe you won’t, maybe
you’ll divorce at 40, maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding
anniversary…what ever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself
either – your choices are half chance, so are everybody else’s.

Enjoy your body, use it every way you can…don’t be afraid of it, or what other people
think of it, it’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own..

Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them. Do NOT read beauty magazines, they
will only make you feel ugly. Get to know your parents, you never know when they’ll be
gone for good. Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the
people most likely to stick with you in the future. Understand that friends come and
go,but for the precious few you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography
and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you
were young. Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard; live in
Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. Accept certain
inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old,
and when you do you’ll fantasize that when you were young prices were reasonable,
politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a
wealthy spouse; but you never know when either one might run out. Don’t mess too much with
your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. Be careful whose advice you buy,
but, be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia, dispensing it is
a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts
and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen…
