Hi friend, as a 30s Single Father of an amazing son, my someone who sprayed ether to be better, I became an Artist, Comedian, Startup Co-Founding Chief Technology Officer, Director, and while working in research. Thankfully, in ways, I have lived through the hardest and darkest parts, mistakes, loneliness, and failed parts of living, as a polymath statistical outlier.
Ambitious to a fault as a lover, paid and toured comedian, holding desire to make a difference around me. It has been good to remember my roots for a living, mine has scars from taking out utility size trash on nightshift, stocking pallets, working under scorching semi-trucks in summers, to Pro Se. Even multi-time failed college students, once a middle school dropout to college failings. Still a fighter and learner at heart, thanks to the internet, libraries, and (used) bookstores.
Yet, my journey becoming an artist grew from photography to generosity of a local bar owner, and my first customer in 2022, after a significant health issue. Allowing displaying my first watercolor painting, I made raindrops outside over years of drought in the West USA. No law said, one must be good to start art. May that bird’s journey be amazing.
Hopefully, sharing words, art, photos, jokes, finds, or inspires or brings joy or even ignites imaginations of capability, sparking inspiration for one minute in your day. Somedays, passion and research chases space squirrels for gold nuggets, and extends beyond written words. Life can in ways exist beyond losses, betrayals, despair, and failures. Together, though friends, we found ways in an adverse world, where creativity thrives, and dreams can become reality, like a reader reading a bio and smiling on the same day. My new friend, we do not have to destroy ourselves.
