Not my usual listening material, but i'm very much appreciating your soundscapes sickle.
I find them strangely soothing, with disturbing undertones, hard to describe really - but they are definately evocative.

The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Yup, my name is indeed an homage to Sickle. At the time a lot of people were attacking him because they percieved his name to be satanic, and many of them were dragging up personal stuff and using it against him in a way that no decent human being would. At one point he actually changed his name, which I thought was a result of all the cnuts picking on him.
So I took a name that was similar to his (But not so similar that people would think we were the same person) so if the trolls wanted someone to pick on then they could go after someone they don't know anything personal about.
Sickle later explained that his name change was a personal decision that had nothing to do with the jerks, but I didn't know that at the time. So I guess I kind of jumped the gun on that one, but the new name ended up sticking. Admit it, does anyone here even remember my old screen-name?

Maybe just "Sickle6" or "Sickle 6" or "Sickle Six".
Right now "6" is looking less like "6" and more like upside-down "9", my brain's gone silly.

*this is where the
smiley belongs, but we'll pretend it's not really here*I was sitting in the reception lobby after she was born and trying to think of a name, as my wife left the task to me.
I had no absolutely idea what I was doing.
I was writing names, crossing them out, etc.I wrote my own name, and started crossing out letters and that's how I got it.
Donovan
Genius, eh?

I've known your daughter's name for like a year and never would of drawn that connection. I agree that nova is a beutiful name, too.

you know what I think? 
remember the cartoon with spike the dog, and the little dog that ran around him (spike being a big, tough, cool dog) saying "you like me right spike?" 
"we're friends right spike?"
Don=spike
chase=hyperdog
