Why this is called Fyckle Smarts

First, it's spelled oddly because Google App domain registration has an aversion to the F-i-c-k-l-e spelling. Unfortunely, the first four letters resemble a bad word. So F-y-c-k-l-e spelling prevails.

Why fyckle smarts?

My wife told me "that's so you! You fixate on odd things obsessively." Her words, not mine. What are these odd things?

- Fasting for weight loss and trying to become breatharian, which maybe hurt my vision a bit(I don't recommend it.)

- Learning Astral Projection so I could time travel

- Studying the Merkaba with Drunvalo Melchizadek so I could warp out of this dimension into the next.

- Watching Hackers multiple times for vicarious reasons

- Taking a Robert Allen real estate wealth seminar at 16

- Picking up a book by Christopher Alexander on Architecture and designing stairstep-like skyscrapers which my Architecture Professor called 1930's-ish-whoops.

- Taking Nootropil and spinning in circles 20 minutes a day to get smarter for the SAT's. I made a 150 pt from my previous test after doing that. Or it could just be that the 2nd test's verbal questions were about Da Vinci and I already read a lot about him. I think it's the drugs and spinning.

- Taking Taijichuan with Horacio Lopez who also read Krishnamurti like me and became an Osho sannyasin unlike me, but I knew about Osho anyways. I think I was hoping that I could learn fajin projections in Taiji.

- Picking up Sex, Ecology, and Spirituality by Ken Wilber, then reading all of his books about psychology so that I could advance from Rational-Orange Meme, to the Postmodern-Green Meme, and finally to the Integral meme.

- Reading presentationzen.com and guykawasaki.com everyday then producing a kickass visual presentation for my Intro to Communications class - I know because my professor said so in different terms.

-Preparing for the rise of Blue Gene that reduces the need of white-collar workers after reading Dan Pink and Tom Peters. I learned to draw, detect metaphors, and read George Lakoff.

- Becoming the monk Beolif for 2,400 hours worth on EverQuest with my brother in lieu of Sophomore year in high school. A typical sophomore in high school spends 1,280 hours in high school.

-Sitting in a bathtub for four hours and than feeling a paralysis that lasted for thirty minutes, I could not talk and barely made it out of the tub. That was after reading Leonard Orr and Sondra Ray on Rebirthing. (I do not recommend that either.)

-Learning speed seduction while partying with girls in high school

-Studying from 6 - 11 AM everyday and visiting a math tutor from 8 - 9 twice a week to prepare for the SAT's. I got a 1210 the first time and a 1360 the second time.

-Taking a drawing class downtown

-Learning to kick butt with Ba Gua for 3 months

-Making laughter at my improv class in downtown Austin

-Running a 5k, and a half-marathon after 2 months of training following Stu Mittleman's methods and eating a Raw diet.

-Doing a past-life regression and discovering that I may have been a Pueblo Indian in New Mexico who was stabbed in the chest by a spear.

-Waking up in the morning for several months to practice Japa. Om namah shivaya!

-Sitting in meditation for hours to get to Satori

-Reading Nietszche and pondering my existence
