   Matriculated: Part 2
Thanks to everyone who responded to my last entry. It's always good to get a response to stuff like that. It's funny that I've never really been as fanatical about getting a message across, I don't think.

I mentioned that I wanted to talk about specific parts of The Matrix and explain their meaning. The problem is, I don't even know where to start. On some specific issues where I was unsure, I did a lot of cross-checking (by watching a particular scene over and over, to make note of dialogue and then comparing that to various analysis on the web). So from that, I've definitely confirmed a few of my own ideas. If nothing else, it's been a good intellectual exercise.

So I guess, for those of you who are open to the idea of discussing specific parts of The Matrix without getting too viscious (you'd be surprised at how viscious people can get over a movie lol), that'd be cool. Maybe pose a couple of questions in my comments below, and I can use my next entry to answer you. Or at least, I can provide you with my own theories. That might be interesting.

While I'm here, I'd like to tip my hat to Sara. We had our third discussion in as many years yesterday. That is truly a momentous occasion. And, as always, it was a great pleasure. The fact that Sara seems to be open to the idea of exploring Matrix philosophy is also a plus for me. It's nice to be greeted by that, rather than the constant "OMG!! Da effex w3re not az good1!! i h@ated it!!"

Anyway, I don't have much else to say in this entry, other than the above. I'll only add, for those who are interested, that our new greetings site is doing very well. We're now at a level where around 100 greetings are being sent per day. As Adam said (and I'm paraphrasing in the most vague way possible), "that's a lot of joy to a lot of people in one day". Yes, indeed it is. ^_^
