Recent news announcements The Soulcast Community about the fast growth rate of Soulcast didn't suprised me at all. My fearless predictions are valid that it's only a matter of time before Soulcast finally explodes into the top web spot of blogosphere.
I've been here for about a month, but already I sense the special affinity and intellectual bonding of the Soulcasters as the driving force that makes Soulcast a vibrant and thriving online community.
We the Soulcasters are what makes Soulcast interestingly special. We are composed of a diverse group of global membership. For one we are of international cast coming from the different continents of the globe. Alienated's what country blog can attest to this.
We also have creative and sensitive writers within our midst. The gifted ones like Silverwhisper and Hunter Boyce Chandler next to Master SC are the most well read and well written posts subscribed to by so many members.
Our femme fetale writers can't be overlooked. Jade London, Creative Woman, Zayda, All Around Girl, Theorista and others (I may have forgotten to mention) keep us abreast of the women perspective and their interesting views and insights give color to our extended online families with their willingness to help anyone in need of a soul to listen.
Humorists, politicians, religious advocates, philosophers, business strategists, idealists, hardliners, intellectuals, specialists, science geeks, name it and we have everyone here at Soulcast.
FD as I'm popularly called is a realist writer and I like to observe people like subjects on a microscope trying to figure out why they act that way. The psycho-analyst in me makes me seem like your clear mirror of conscience just merely reflecting your true image.
How interesting this blog would be, if you shared with us your true personality, just who are you? I'm here to read you.
And before you begin writing out your first blog, you may want to check this very informative post first Tips On Writing Your First Hit Blog. Welcome to Soulcast, your online family!

I'm a kind student that is also deeply into writing (both blogs and my novel). Personality-wise, combination of passionate yet sometimes shy. -

I consider it to be an honour to be a member of SoulCast. Upon arrival, I mistook it as merely a website for earning and blogging but, after only hours here, I became addicted to the passion, support, care and talent within so many fellow SoulCasters. I will be here for a long time to come and I will enjoy every second. PinkJellyBeans -

As you know, I think this is Weenieville, and pretty much populated by weenies like myself. I split my time between trying to figure out how to erase all traces of my existence here and how to erase all traces of other's existence here. I am a Christian soldier, somewhere to the right of Rush Limbaugh, a lover of women in all shapes and sizes (especially plump, mommy types), an amateur comedian, and a semi-depressed, ALIENated, weirdo. My favorite colors are red, white, and blue. I support our president (whoever that may be) and I support our fearless troops around the world. I love apple pie and pecan pie. I love dogs like my big black one. I love children, especially my own. I have the most beautiful, understanding wife in the world. And, soon, I will be employed again because I am an excellent technical writer. So pretty much your regular, everyday guy. Thanks for asking. Write on. -
Heartwalker said on Aug 11, 2006....
Hello Fd, This is a great post in making us fellow soulcasters know each other better, like ALIENated's post. I have already introduced myself, however I am here again to give an acuurate description this time. I heard of soulcast i I have an account there, and I ws there, because I liked the term, Mindsay, I could say what's on my mind, apt... same here too... I can cast ideas and express my soul, with the added advantage of anonymity. Now to your question ? Who are you ? ( searches within...) Am I just my beliefs? ....... Am I a collection of my traits ? ...... Am I my behavior ? ..... Am I what I write or do ? .... Am I the sum total of all my experiences? .... I have reasons to believe that my life cannot live on my own, My life gets meaning by what meaning .... (still searching) [color=red]I am a spiritual being having a human experience[/color] Any other definition , in my humble opinion is incomplete. I sincerely believe that All of us are spiritual beings having a human experience.And that all of us are here(not merely on soulcast, but on Earth) to learn, to share,to give and take, because Life is the special occasion, beyond which there is Nothing. When we transcend Life, We become one with Our Source, the creator. At best I am a seeker sharing my life with my fellow seekers on this earth filled with spiritual beings having a human experience.I seek my path and strive to play my part in Life, knowing that I am guided from within and from external sources, that' how I was guided to soulcast. Why am I here? Three reasons... 1.To learn from what ideas are cast from others... and the lessons that I can learn from various experiences of others as they share it here,( knowing that their identity will be a secret...so, they can vent their soul). 2.Near my house, there is an orphanage and a colony of lepers shunned by society.I first came to know of this two years ago... and have made it a point to support these two causes.So, the money that I earn from Soulcast is split between these two causes, because I believe that[color=red] Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray.And taking the example of Abu Ben Adam and Father Damien, I strive to Love my Master and Lord by serving those in need.[/color] 3.We are what we do and do and do, in the Now followed by the Now followed by the Now. And that is why I cast out ideas,loving thoughts, some mine, some which were sent to me, which I feel will inspire, touch others' hearts, as my heart was touched and transformed by HIS Love. So, you will find in my blog things that inspire you, things like miracles to uplift,knowledge to enlighten,wisdom to illuminate within, and humor to balance it all. Dear FaithfulDisciple, I like your name very much, for in my heart of hearts, that is what I strive zealously to be...HIS Faithful Disciple.That is what I aspire and strive to be. -
silverwhisper said on Aug 11, 2006....
who am i? i am much as you see me: a periodically confused, conflicted and flawed person who tries to impart such comfort and advice as possible to those who hurt; a sometimes cranky and opinionated bastard; a passionate--no, [i]zealous[/i] believer in things and ideas; a husband trying desperately to be worthy of his wife; a son trying to live up to his parents' dreams and hopes; a sibling trying not to disappoint; a friend struggling to walk alongside those whose strides are longer...god if i continue on in this vein it will begin to resemble walt whitman's [i]song of myself[/i]. ed -
Alyss said on Aug 11, 2006....
I am the representation of me. The doppelganger if you will. Away from here I am wife, mother, daughter, sibling and friend trying to meet everyone’s needs with my own coming so far down the list as to be totally inconsequential. I have been teacher, leader and student all at the same time. I do my best to be the person I know I ought to be but seem repeatedly to fail to live up to those expectations, mine own and those of others who know me. I live with unfulfilled dreams and aspirations and regrets. I am bound by circumstance and long to be unfettered. -
LoriaAmnekia said on Aug 11, 2006....
I am wife, mother, daughter, birth-mother-turned-big-sister, sister, friend, lover... I give all that I am to the people I love and jump whenever one of them needs help. I bend myself in so many ways to keep everyone happy, only thinking of myself when the stress gets to be too much and I lose my temper. I try to please everyone else before myself and when that doesn't succeed, I come down really hard on myself. I am obsessive when I find something I like (Harry Potter and CSI, especially). I am the lonely girl at the lunch table eating her lunch all by herself and trying not to attract anyone's attention. I live through my words and my imagination has not dimmed in the slightest since I was a child. In fact, I'm pretty sure it's only gotten stronger. I write and I read to take my mind off the fact that I will probably never achieve my dreams. I cry inside because I know we can't afford for me to go to college or even take an at home course. I yearn to publish my writings, but have yet to find the appropriate venue for my poems. My low self-esteem tells me that they wouldn't be good enough anyways. I could go on, but I guess this is long enough. I'm just trying to make it through day by day and stay strong for my family. -
FaithfulDisciple said on Aug 11, 2006....
My oh my, I didn't expect a simple introductory question would elicit introspective and philosophical responses from everyone. From the color and texture of the words used by everyone here to describe themselves, it is evident that the flair for creative and descriptive writing is lurking within you all. I'm beginning to be convinced that Soulcast is a lair of the creative and intellectuals. Heartwalker: The name Faithful Disciple is meant to refer to a person who lives in believes in the power of true faith. Faith in God, in family, in friends and in yourself. For faith is a very strong virtue. Jesus says, if you have faith like a grain of a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, move from here to there. And it shall move. And nothing shall be impossible to you. Faith can bring about positive healing, faith can lead to personal salvation wherever that may be, faith in God can fortify hope that in life all that is better will prevail. True faith reveals truth and purpose. When one knows the truth, one is enlightened and his purpose in life becomes clear, it is made meaningful. The person without faith is one who walks the earth not knowing his true purpose, he is pitiful. He is lost in his way, confused and has no direction. Strong faith strengthens the will and resolve to do better. The ability to accomplish something from nothing and the resolve that everything is possible, nothing is impossible. This is who I am a Faithful Disciple. I can only share my faith in the hope that it inspires others so that they too may come to have it. For it is something I can't give, you must have it. For Jesus said: "I have come into this world not to condemn it but to bring forth life and that you may have it abundantly." It is up to you to deny or confirm your faith in the one true living God. -
fuschia said on Aug 11, 2006....
I am everything. I am nothing. No one adjective can describe my entire being, nor can a large collection of them express who I really am. I am myself. I am you. I am all. But there is one word that describes me very accurately. I am a Soul. -Fuschia -
FaithfulDisciple said on Aug 11, 2006....
LoriaAmnekia, you have found the perfect place for your soul to be bared. Your writings, your poems, your ramblings are all welcome here and I look forward to your interesting literary works. You have found Soulcast as the right place to publish your wroks, be read, be understood and appreciated by all who share the same passion for writing. Soulcast has no qualifications, only communication. Explore and enjoy! SW: Is it correct to assume that you don't use capitalization as you don't want to draw attention to yourself? You are definitely not shy as your command of English is worthy of SC (soulcast complex) and you write with such great intensity. You have a power with words, they come alive in the manner you use them. The most creative people are sometimes the introverted ones as they have a clear definition of who they really are. But then, I could be wrong? :) -

the_infernal_optimist said on Aug 12, 2006....
I'm a hopeless romantic, a hope-filled philosopher, a soul-searcher (not just my own), a friend to almost anyone and an enemy to none but pain. :) I am a phoenix of sorts, a writer, a wife, a Christian, a lover and a mommy (in no particular order). ;-) What an intriguing question! -
LoriaAmnekia said on Aug 12, 2006....
FD: Thank you. The more I look around and read through things here on SoulCast, the more certain I am this is going to be my 'online home.' Everyone on here seems to be kind, caring, and intelligent. I appreciate all the comments I have received on my own blog, and in response to my comments on others. You are all very kind. -
Frlncwrtr said on Aug 19, 2006....
FD: Since you are here to read us, I’ll do my best to let my true self come out in my writings. So far you have been right on track!
I guess I am an idealist, a humorous one at that sometimes. I try to be a realist, and very logical. I usually am very direct and to the point. Some have considered my straightforwardness as rudeness. However, it is not intended that was, unless I really don’t like someone. I have been told that I am very creative, but I cannot see the creativity in me.
Being the psychoanalyst that you are, maybe you can tell me more?
I write because when I went to college I found that I enjoyed my writing courses more than any others. I write because it relieves stress and relaxes me. Sometimes it also provides answers to my own questions.

Susmaryosep said on Aug 19, 2006....
I must have done something horrible as I found that I have been prevented from posting in "pinkjelly beans", and there is no way to find out why? Strange? And I thought I was a model blogger! :-)). Well, win some, lose some!

You definitely enjoy writing. They say when the work you do is something you enjoy the most, then it doesn't feel like work. You get a great satisfaction out of writing because you have the talent for it. Now that you're retired from the force, this is the best time to explore and develop your gift. Write one bro!

FaithfulDisciple said on Aug 19, 2006....
Susmaryosep: Not unless you made an offensive comment and she found you repulsive enough to block you. Try looking back into some of the comments you made into her posts, you'll probably see the reason why she blocked you. Good luck!
-
Susmaryosep said on Aug 19, 2006....
I don't think I was offensive; I only made some impolite remarks at those bloggers who post things like nipple piercings, cascading lesbian juices, and penis sizes. If you check my posts and comments in other blogs, I think you can get a picture of me, and offensive I think I am NOt...thanks for the advice, anyway

FaithfulDisciple:
Thanks for writing! You are right about a person’s work not feeling like work when they enjoy it. I do enjoy writing. Talent for it? I don’t know, but thank you! I will continue to explore and see what develops.
I have another one that is similar, but a recurring dream that I’ll try to do today.

ninibud92 said on Aug 25, 2006....
(abstract) I don't know who I am. My quest is to find out. Most people describe me by my job, where I live or physical traits. But obviously, it is not the whole story. I prefer to be recognized for my actions. Maybe that is why I am writing here: to see the reflection of me since I can't see it for myself.
Thanks for the introspection.

FaithfulDisciple said on Aug 25, 2006....
Welcome ninibud, you have a new online family here at Soulcast. Whatever you need to communicate here will be read and appreciated by all. Begin to explore and enjoy your way around. :D

varada said on Sep 02, 2006....
I am a widower, a cardiac patient, nobody to support me, alone all the time with my computer, busy blogging, trying to find out someone with my interests. At this age, deeply interested in philosophy, looking around to find a friend, who will understand my ideas and try to join issues with me.

Susmaryosep said on Sep 02, 2006....
Hello Verada,
Welcome, and I will try to read your blog soon! Being alone is not much fun, though sometimes, I prefer solitude to anything else, including my family. .......

varada said on Sep 03, 2006....
Thank you, Susmaryosep, I will also read your positively.
The online community which comes out of blogging is very close and understanding.
Initially sitting all alone was boring. It all depends on how you look upon life. Now with so many blog accounts and so much to read and write about I dont find time.

Have fun, and Be happy!

boyzmom said on Sep 05, 2006....
I am timid and am not ready to bare my soul to anyone but the Lord. I am comfortable with who I am but do not think the world is ready for me. People are always surprised by some of my life experiences so for now, I will keep them to myself and continue to praise God for my survival.
-
Susmaryosep said on Sep 05, 2006....
boyzmom,
From your profile, yes you do seem to have some life experiences. But its good to 'unload' in anonymity, and you get to chat to great people......

boyzmom said on Sep 05, 2006....
Susmaryosep-
I was once told that when I let my emotions out, it is like a rainbow. It sounds nice but in reality, it is scary to have so much inside, so I will keep that inside until the rainbow is ready to be handled.

Susmaryosep said on Sep 06, 2006....
Wow, wish I could let out a rainbow from my heart everyday. I'll die happy!
