Introduction
Hi, I'm Sy. I'm the founder and administrator of the place you're looking at. Basically, the entire body of this place is a huge knowledgebase of my various notes and projects.
About this page
I'm pretty fond of me. I figure that when I'm fond of something I ought to learn stuff about that something.. so I like to learn about me. This isn't really an ego thing.. it's a sort of self-discovery hobby of mine. It could be anything from time management and to do lists to philosophy and creative writing. If something interests me, I generally pursue it.. and so it'll usually start out here on this page.
About me
What's in a name?
My name is Syeed Anne Ali, but I may eventually change it to Syeed Anne Ali Timmermans. I'm really damned lazy about this though. I go by the nickname Sy. Why? Because i've always had a hesitation in pronnouncing my own name, and I generally dislike the foreign-ness of it. Muslems babble at me when I tell them my name, which is confusing and annoying. On the plus side, if you're a hot gal with a sweet accent, call me Syeed and watch me melt. =)
- Syeed
- Muslim word for "Happy". Literal translation. It can be spelled many different ways: Said, Sayeed, etc. My spelling appears to be quite rare.
- Anne
- Dutch word for "Andrew". Literal translation. The Dutch pronnounciation of this word is very different than how english would say it.. it's more like "Aa-nuh" as I recall.
- Ali
- Muslim, it's a concept indicating personal protection by God.
- Timmermans
- Dutch. Comes from "Zimmerman", the German form of the occupational name Carpenter, derived from Middle High German zimbermann, formed from (zimber, zimmer = timber, wood) + (mann = man). Zimmerer, Zimmer, Zimerman, Cimerman, Cymerman Cymmermann, Cimermann, Timmerman, Timmermann are variations.
Um.. Happy Andrew, God's Carpenter. Works for me.
I am sometimes called "SySy", because it sounds cool. =)

What i am
I'm male, in my 30s (mid-2000s), and a Canadian born and raised in Toronto. Technically this makes me a Torontonian, since Toronto is truly unlike any other place in Canada (or in the world). My father is from Trinidad (Trinidadian) and my mother is from The Netherlands (Dutch). Ok technically she's from Friesland (Dokkum), so perhaps she's Frisian, but I don't know. Well anyways.. this combination makes me a multi-ethnic hybrid.. I'm beige.. I have a permanent tan. However you want to say it. =)
What I'm like, and how I appear
- I am amused to no end that I am respected as one race by one group, and as a different race by a completely different group. I adore getting away with wearing sheep's clothing and that I don't even have to try.
- I've got long black curly hair generally worn back. When I was wielding a more approachable personality as a youth, I would get random complements. Two kids in a park one day, walking by.. look at me. One turns to me and exclaims "Long hair rocks!" Strange.
- Although one eye sees more green and the other sees more orange, both eyes are shiny and brown. I've gotten a number of complements on my lashes. Even when trying out contacts again (I'm a sucker for punishment), I got "girl eyes" complements. I think they were complements. They better have been.
- I have amazing teeth. Yet another area of complement. I'm taking good care of my teeth now, because It gets me return-smiles from beautiful women. =)
- Once I got complemented on my nose. My nose! I'm still puzzling over that one. Oh, and my skin. Go figure.
- I have cute little spots all over me. They are dark subdermal/melanin moles rather like the idea of beauty marks and not those odd looking bumps. I rather like seeing it on others too. Yum.
- I'm capable of strange and cute facial expressions. Call it a hobby. Uh, on second thought, don't.
- Apparently, from all the complements I get, I'm hot.. or at least amusing to complement. I'm leaning towards the latter, mostly because women like toying with me.
- I'm tall and broad and generally give off evil "leave me alone or I'll eat you" vibes. Generally because I want to shatter people that bother me. Anger management helps me avoid prison. I'm extremely difficult to befriend, even though I'm a nice guy.. the world is full of a lot of bother, and people get included in that. For reasons I cannot comprehend, people like me a lot.
- I have a number of misadventures dealing with how odd people are around me.
- Clothing includes simple stuff without ads. Useful over fashionable. Outerwear tends to pass for business-casual. I don't wear a tie, and rarely wear running shoes these days.
- Ornamentation is generally missing. See Jewelry and /jewelry archive.
Random crap which you may not know
- I don't mean to even suggest that I spend all my time with those things written of here. These are just those quaint biases which subtly influence my writing and thinking styles. Things I see and things I do go through the filters which are my biases. I'll pick up on certain things, just because I'm learned in certain things. I'll remember things because I've had experience with certain things. Keep these in mind.
- I really despise the media, and have found it more and more difficult to expose myself to untainted information. These days, I've basically closed myself off from media sources - newspapers, magazines, television, radio, anything wtih ads.. I've got no attention span and no patience for being pestered by stupidity. Anything from commercials to watermarks to banners will piss me off. They're insulting. This seclusion has really crippled my enjoyment of life, as it's become more difficult to hunt out the stuff I enjoy wasting time with. I'd rather buy dvds of a show than watch it on TV, although a personal video recorder has made life better.
- How big are computers in my life? Reasonably, but my dreams of having computers organize and store vast amounts of information has basically been ruined by lots of stupidity. I'm still lurking, working on some stuff on the side which I hope to influence computers with.
- The enemy of my friend is not my enemy because of that position.
- The enemy of my enemy is not my friend because of that position.
- An enemy can be one of one's greatest friends; which is not to say that friends are enemies.
- A friend of my friend is not also my friend because of that position. Each is judged on individual merit, although loose alliances may be understood.
- My communication is time, mood, and audience oriented. Every statement goes stale and every opinion evolves.
- I have no real allergies.
- I've never been stung by a bee. I used to catch wasps a kid even.. go figure. I once petted a worker bee.. that was neat. They're the big fluffy guys..
- I react wierd to a lot of substances which others find healthy. Ginseng, gatorade, caffiene.. name it.
- I get an upset stomach eating shitty food. So I don't.
- I almost never get sick. I can count the number of times I've thrown up on one hand, and I've never been properly sick in my entire adult life. I just feel crappy sometimes. That crappy feeling is getting worse as I get older.
- I used to be chaste (see monks, priests etc.. no women). I had become disciplined enough to have difficulty comprehending the disowned topic at times. Call it a choice of philosophy and desire. It's a very long difficult topic, but I'll just say that women, in a social capacity would drive me mental, as they just don't work right. I used to be chaste, but I learned how important love is in life, and so I cultivate it in everything I do and everyone I spend time with.
- Stupid falling in love makes life too complecated.. sigh.
- I'm an incurable romantic. I fall in love too fucking easy, and I never fall out of love. ;(
- I'm mostly chaste again. I don't think love is worth the heartache.
- I might have some form of mild Aphasia. Well that would explain a lot.
| ~Do: research the topic someday later |
- I'm some kind of broken minor-Genius, with all the crap that follows.

| ~Do: Explain the dark side of genius qualities |
- I've been Enlightened, and now I'm not. Really.
