About Me:
Note : sorry I've been offline (on vacation) so much recently, my life's been a bit hectic & it's been very hard to focus for the necessary hours on my games here. Also no home Internet anymore. Thanks for understanding!

Narz's Book of the month (for September, 2009)
The Spell of the Sensuous
Chess is great. Playing here is one of the ways I've been keeping sane during this challenging period in my life (do chess not drugs kids!). I enjoy being able to connect with so many people via this game. I'm quite overrated on this site, the 2000+ rating flatters me. If I can I'd love to develop the discipline to become a USCF expert someday (currently 1686), both for that achievment in itself & the discipline I must necessarily develop to get there (which will be a reward in & of itself). 
I've got a group here (Narz's People) on chess.com that's open to anyone. We're constantly playing team matches & vote chess games.
I recently started a second group - The Post-Apocalyptic Survivors!
The title is both silly & serious. I believe the Earth is due for a major transition due to climate, population & energy (fuel) pressures. I hope the future can bring out the best in (wo)man!
Outside of chess I've passionate about the Earth & have a curiosity about myself, my loved ones & the world (human & otherwise) in general that keeps me going day after day. Curiosity & wanting to see how this human drama (my own, my family's, my friends', the world's) unfolds is what I am living for... until I find my "right livelihood".
While you're here, want to learn something new? Read about Permaculture. It is a major part of the solution to humanity's current crises. It is more than a set of guidelines in regards to agricuture, construction & human interaction it is an all-encomposing philosophy that can be applied to any aspect of society &/or your own life.
Remember, whatever you may have suffered through, you are blessed to have Internet access, you can learn so much, connect with so many & change your life.
Thank you for reading & I wish you a transcendent day, one that stays with you for many more & leaves your life that much richer!
All the Best, Narz
