A smile and nod to all of ATS

Hello, ATS. I've decided that I'd like to contribute to this interesting community, and thought it proper to introduce myself.

First and foremost, to all the members schooled in Latin, I realize that my handle is incorrect. I think it should be Ordo Ad Chaos (Order into Chaos), but I thought it fitting to keep it as such since it is the title of the album whose concept brought me here looking for more information on the topic of the Anunnaki.

Second, I am a skeptic at heart, though I wouldn't call myself close minded. I've seen numerous UFOs, by myself and in good company. I've lived with paranormal experiences my whole life, also witnessed by others around me. What keeps me skeptical? I suppose that answer has to do with my tendency to analyze and not jump to conclusions. Mystery is more intriguing than "It's Aliens!" or "It's swamp gas igniting due to static electricity in the atmosphere!". However, I am not here to troll or "bring people down to earth", so to speak; I am only here to add another guitar to the jam.

I've lurked for a few years, reading the forums and threads that intrigue me, all the while trying to get a feel for the community at large. And boy, is it large! A big reason I decided to step out from the shadows is because I see that this is a varied and sundry group, filled with passion and a thirst for knowledge. What a great place. Even if I don't agree or think something is completely off the wall, the fact that there is a medium for communication of such things is wonderful.

A bit of personal info: I have a BA in English Lit., have worked many different jobs from greasy spoon cook to industrial inspection to trade work. My personal interests (aside from UFOs/ET and the paranormal) are gaming, reading, and studying history and literature. I am quite political, but for the sake of sanity, let's leave that for a later discussion; it's bound to come up.

Thank you for your time, and if you have any questions about me, ask away, I'll be here to answer.
