Just a little bit about me. I am an American by birth and very proud to be one! 🇺🇸 From an early age I was fascinated by science – all of the natural world especially biology, paleontology, psychology, and most of all new technology. I was a teenager when the first personal computers were being introduced and I immediately realized the life changing impact they would have and digital tech would have on the world and began studying it. As a result I have been self-employed working as a website developer and photographer/graphic designer since 1995 to this day. This has worked out well since I have a passion of international travel and the internet gave/gives me the freedom to work from anywhere in the world! As a result I have lived outside of the US for extended periods of time. I love getting away from the bubble of general stupidity that many Americans live inside of. Travel is the best education there is.

I was fortunate enough to grow up when the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, and Iggy Pop were releasing music NEW music which is now classified as “Classic Rock”. I was a teenager in Kansas City, Missouri during the punk rock years (I saw the Ramones, Iggy Pop, Devo, Patti Smith, and David Bowie all at 18 and the Dead Kennedys when I was 19) – yeah, the music was fucking great before that noise called Rap.🖕🏻

I enjoy freshwater tropical fish with a particular interest in Amazonian species (I have been to Brazil, Colombia, Argentina, and Peru). I have swam in the Amazon river while exploring the Brazilian rain forest. Travel is clearly one of my passions and I have visited 25 different countries thus far living more than a year in a couple of them. My partner and I lived in Rio de Janiero, Brazil for a year (probably the most amazing year of my life thus far) and 7 years in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It was fascinating to live long term rather than just visit as a tourist short term. It really is a totally different experience which I highly recommend if you have the opportunity to do it.

I find this mindless group conformity via bulling aka woke to be very disturbing. They have no regard for science, facts, or even reality! Those so-called “woke” individuals are typically dim witted followers and small minded people who prefer simplistic black and white thinking and who for the most part, are not really capable to thinking for themselves – much like uneducated children. They need to define themselves by the groups they voluntarily belong to such as a country, a religion, or even LGBTQ… “community”. How limiting is it to put yourself in a box. Hey I get it – we are social animals so this tribal behavior is understandable, however, as modern humans (that excludes the Middle East and Democrats these days) we have the ability to examine information and draw our own conclusions (critical thinking) without the need of group approval to validate our views.

I lived at the height of human existence because of all these advances and I could not be happier to have been there for it. I am saddened by the rapid decline that we are experiencing with vermin being shipped around the world to invade Western countries but it makes me appreciate having been at the peak even more. As society is made more stupid and conformist with each passing month I simply laugh knowing what was. I feel sorry for the younger generation who will never know of the freedom that came from growing up without a screen in your face 24/7 and who actually could read books and appreciated being alone with their thoughts.
