Hello World

As I hinted, I am an INTJ personality type.  What this means is that I am easily fascinated by things and ideas while being seemingly distant in my emotional relationships... what few I have.

That said, here we go!

I have an opinion on almost everything... religion, politics, science, education, space, mathematics, relationships, health, healthcare,and everything else.              

When I'm asleep I'm still thinking.  I can't help myself.  If I found myself walking on a forest road between dawn and sunrise, I'd start processing everything the smell, breeze, temperature, the shape of the trees, colors, the physics of the trees, the weight of the coupling forces as the limbs stress the trunks, the fractal arrangement of the limb disbursement, the shadow displacement of the sunlight filtering through to the ground, the amount of energy starting to be stored through photosynthesis as the sunlight begins to touch the leaves or needles of the trees and plants, and then I'd really start absorbing data.

Its hard to express the pure joy, excitement, delight, and emotion that tingles from head to toe over the simplest blade of grass and the world of cell interaction as it lives and grows.

However, don't get me wrong.  I like eating meat and have no problem killing animals to eat.  Rabbit, chicken, beef, venison, veal, lamb, pork, goose, turkey, a variety of sea creatures, fish, snails, and once in France even horse.  Born in the west US if I would have known it was horse I would have passed but, it was very... well, tasty.  Yes, I'm ashamed of myself.   

As I sit here typing, the radio in the background, I am disturbed by the push for animal rights as two kids are missing and the rage supporting things like abortion are inflicted on our children.  Many individuals think I am lacking in emotion but, I can assure them every child is worthy of my tears if I can't impede the abuser directly.  Not to be confused, there is a difference between a discipline administered by a loving parent and a monster venting on or playing with a rag doll.

Well, in a nutshell the rest of my involvements.  I am LDS, conservative, like the Tea Party, politically active, have a family, and I've struggled with employment for the last 15 years.  Some of this struggle is my seemingly cold customer support skills.  However, I had help.  My last real employer told me he would give me a good reference as he unemployed me during a company merger.  Well, 10 years later and 100s of resumes sent, my son walks into a computer store and fills out an application using me as a reference pertaining to his education and skill set.  Well, he dazzled them with his abilities in Windows and Linux and they asked to contact his references... his high school and... well, me.  They needed more information so they looked me up, found my last employer, and called them.  My son reported back to me that my ex-employer accused me of every wrong the company suffered while I was there to clear their name before the merger.  The faults should have been laid at the feet of the owners but being a cold INTJ I was the logical biggest old scapegoat available.

Since then I've assembled 5 companies for others and one for myself.  I learned loads about business accounting, private placement investing, and public investing.  I watched the 5 companies fold under the weight of poor financial management by their executives and presidents.  Finally, I even saw my own company fail as my health declined combined with a little incident with a hardware virus and being stranded in Atlanta during the attack.  My client needed me and I was attempting to patch a 10 million dollar hole in another company.  Well, I lost both companies, my wealth, and my health was all but gone too.

I've spent the last 3 1/2 years rebuilding my health.  It has been challenging with no money, job, and the poor nutritional education of conventional allopathic doctors.

The amusing thing in my experience was the hardware virus.  We used a combination of high end anti-virus and the remote exploit "Back Track" to poke at the virus as I had the same virus at home that lost me my client.  We acquired an IP address in which the virus was communicating.  I was awed to see this hack end at a government firewall.  I was not happy.                    
                      
As an INTJ in a challenge, I have had little to do but solve the worlds problems, as of late, and leverage a form of income.  Stick around to see the solutions as they unfold.
