I may be going insane, or I may not be. However things have been strange regardless... and I have been paying close attention to something.

First, I used to live in an old apartment. There was a key that was given to all the residence and it said TITAN on it. I randomly noticed there was a pyramid shape on the key end's carving with the word TITAN written on it. "The Titan Key" I said, "That sounds cool." It sounded like a movie or game title to me. Whatever.

I recently moved last night, and my muscles are absolutely aching right now, I walk like I'm 80 years old. Always stretch before you move.

Anyway, I started a small group called Sidus interactive, I even have the website up now but it's not done yet. This happened before I moved. Then something pretty awsome happened, we had been looking for a new place to live for a long time before I brought forward Sidus Interactive. The apartment we lived in was kinda crappy. We were about to get a house, but things never went through. It basically came down to a money battle, and we lost. We were going to have to live in that place for 1 more year. However after looking back on it, a few days following the creation of Sidus, we found this condo. And I'm sitting in it right now, it's fantastic. It's huge. Much larger than any other home I lived in.

Later, I discovered Sidus is the Latin word for Star Constellation, or just Constellation or Star. Now, in my new bedroom there is an interesting feature to it, there is something like an inner bevel on the celing that is shaped like a Pyramid, leading out towards the window (I will take a picture of this feature tomorrow). For the hell of it, the word Titan rang a bell to me, I decided I would look the word up and I figured out the word "Titan" is actually from Greek Mythology, Giants who once ruled the world and was overthrown by the god Zeus, as well as other interesting space-things, and that I found to be very interesting.

I figured, you know what? I should go back to the drawing board and make a game based on this. I figured I could use the Ava pack, modify it a little to better suit the game, and that could be the main character for the adventure. Then I figured I could use the Adam pack too. Well, is that funny? Adam and Ava.

Just today, a few extra things happened.

I still have not re-setup my homepage yet on my PC . On Sony @ AOL and look what is the main story:
(It's my default homepage)

(Main photo just incase the story changes)

A story about the Great Pyramids?!?!!? What the fudge is going on? Alright, whatever.

I need to get some food at 1 AM, I head out, get to the store, and FFS. I see the a latest magazine cover featuring Eva on the cover.


I was lucky to find this after forgetting the magazine name.

Then on my way home I see this huge ass highway billboard slapped infront of my face:



Another pyramid.... Not only that but if you look at my previous blog, and on my Sidus logo, you will see 3 dots with two lines connecting them all in the shape of a pyramid.

I also watched the Discovery Channel, and I'm sure some folks have seen the commercial for 2052, the future, the future, the future. It's like every channel is doing something about THE FUTURE.

I think I need sleep or something. I could be getting too ahead of myself, who knows.

However, I'll tell you, if I'm really not - It's a cool feeling to have ancient times tapping on your shoulder.

I think you are freaking me out right now man... either that or you need to make a Pyramid game.

NOW I just figured out that EVA and AVA is actually a Latin variation for EVE.

Eva comes from Hebrew meaning 'Mother of all life' of 'Life Giving'.

I need water.

This sounds like it'd make a sweet point+click adventure game. It reminds me of Broken Sword.

@Mark: good blog reading.
Never noted how you were tied to an invisible storyline? ;-)
You must have a look at "Signs", the movie. You should appreciate it (quick link: http://www.signsmovie.co.uk/).

Edit: I wanted to share one final thought with you, and this is one from my latest vision of life:
we are currently accepting, future is created upon past events; never imagined past could be shaped because of future events?

I think fatigue has got the better of you. What I see here is a bunch of meaningless symbols, all tied together by a stream on consciousness, with you attempting to draw a parallel between all of them - there is nothing in it...GOT YA! That was p***ing you off for a minute there hey?

Sounds to me like something that happens to me every so often. It's definitely a sign. You should follow it.

Currently I (and now my wife) keep seeing the number 747 everywhere - it's driving me nuts. Incidentally it's the date of my birthday this year... 7 April(4th month) in 07 (2007)... freaks me out man!!! Is it a message from the future...??? I'm locking myself in on my birthday anyhoo... just to be sure... okay rant over... move along...

@Jonathon: <evil grin> WRONG. You did not figured it out, so you are caught in the matrix! /\

We are all just simulacra, copies without originals, playing our broken parts in hopes that we achieve a state of simulation.

you've watched the "23" trailer 22 too many times..

Andy Hawkins   (Jan 29, 2007 at 21:40 GMT)
You are all just figments of my imagination. You do not exist unless I need you to. You are just a computer typing up responses, or a voice processor at the other end of the line, unless I decide to meet you in person, at which point you are materialised just around the corner before I see you, and you dematerialise just as quickly when I say goodbye.

Maybe your game, could start just as these events and then your main character will have to solve the puzzles before her, before being lead to her (your) destiny. Which you have to workout of cause for her in turn.

Another thing I found interesting was black holes, they do seem alot like a massive projector. Jee Wizz it's like we're in a hologram world. You ever have a dream where you woke up and went "Thank god that was just a dream".

Would be interesting if that's what this entire 'thing' would be like. Only we'll be saying "thank god that was only temporary."

Numbers, for me it is numbers and it is ongoing...
I was born on May 22, 1975. 1+9+7+5 = 22
The year 1984 is the same: 1+9+8+4=22 (was there a book called that, I am afraid to read it)
I graduated from high school in 1993: 1+9+9+3=22
Another sequence like this will not happen again until 2299.
My first kid was born when I was 22.
My second mail box location at my job was 2222, my current mailbox location is 5224.

Too many things center around 22 in my life and now Orion mentions 22 while I am reading this post! I look to see what time it is just now and it is: 21:12 (military time).

My other thing is dreams. I have dreamed of what I would be doing in the future years in advance on many occasions. No clarity, just deja vu when I realize I had dreamed this before. I even freaked a guy out because I was sure I had met him before. He thought I was nuts when I realized I had dreamed of working with him years before I even lived in that state! Crazy stuff...

I do have a theory though (so does everyone):
Schroedinger's Cat (probably misspelled)
Human subconscious propogating through quantum interaction that culminates into tangible representations. Hence, "if the dream is big enough, the facts don't matter".

Either that, or "there is no spoon".

I saw this doco where they were testing everyone for ESP. In almost all cases, with ESP abilities or not, everyone did the same thing when presented with images.

The computer would select a random image designed to invoke an emotional response, with an EKG thing strapped to their heads to measure brain activity.

When shown a gory accident image, or calming vista, the brain would respond up to 1 second before the image was shown.

Their explanation for this was that at the quantum level we recieve just enough information from the future to assist our "fight or flight" safety mechanism - giving us enough time to response accordingly - very cool!

@Frank: sorry but you are taking it wrong with numbers. You must reduce (?) them to the lowest number.
so, 22 ends up with 4 (2+2).

2299 -> 4 + 18 -> 22 -> 4

5224 -> 9 + 4 -> 13 -> 4

So, yes, your number is definitively 4.
Is that matching your birthday?

Ohhhh... Eva Mendes.... *drool* wait... what are we talking about?

Frank Carney   (Jan 31, 2007 at 03:21 GMT)
Stephan,
You other people actually do that? Is there an institution that I should be at?

Stephan (viKKing) Bondier   (Jan 31, 2007 at 15:55 GMT)
@Frank: 8-)
Just a few things I studied during my teenage years.
Not sure this blog is a good place to chat such things anyway.
Contact me by email if you want to have a non computer related discussion.
It's good to change one's mind from time to time.
