Ok, anyone who knows me (and some who don't) knows I am totally into this alternate reality game, also known as an ARG, called OWA. Oceanic World Air. This game, or should I say this little slice of nirvana, has changed my life completely. I know it sounds ridiculous but hear me out.About 4 years ago a little t.v. show called LOST aired for the first time. It appeared to be about a plane crash on a seemingly deserted island and the struggles of the survivors awaiting rescue. I thought to myself, how long can this show last? I mean it was an awesome pilot and all, but come on, how long can we watch people eat coconuts?
Well,, I am a huge research hound and I decided to see what I could find out about this intriguing new show I had stumbled upon. So I did as every good citizen does.... I googled! The first site I went to, I think, was OWA. I thought it was a real airline site and was momentarily perplexed... was LOST a real show? Was the airline real? What the heck was going on? I started clicking around the page and things started to come together. Not at first... but a board was being formed with other people like me, wondering what the heck was up? On that day... an OWA ARGer was born!

Throughout my fantastic voyage, I have studied psychology, biology, physics, metallurgy, mythology, space and time, the making and breaking of codes, government plots and secrets and the list goes on and on... It has been a refuge for me from a world that I find increasingly intolerable. This place, OWA, has given me direction. It's given me a thirst for knowledge. And it's also introduced me to some pretty amazing people I would have never met otherwise. I have a friend who lives in China, one in England, a few in Canada and all over the U.S.
