I am at a crossroads in my life. And most important of of all I am re-exploring my identity where the family of my birth is concerned. That said...here goes. After college I became a union electrician and before 'retiring'...I became a comic book street vendor on the streets of New York City.
Born in Jamaica West Indies...lived in Canada and the United States where I now reside and spent the best years of my life on the African continent..in Malawi, Liberia and Swaziland. There is nothing like walking barefoot through the soil and sand, inhaling the air rising from the land so green and feeling the sun caress the skin of this native son of the continent that gave birth to man. Nothing like it.

For those who understand such things I have an Axis 1 and an Axis II, spent 28 years as a friend of Bill's...watch and learn and share about human behaviour as it really is and not how shrinks wish it was. I have a small cadre of friends. Very small. We are brutal when it comes to being blunt and straightforward much to the shock of those who like to dress up horror in pretty words that allow them to turn their backs on injustices they visit on others....but don't pretend that our way is for everyone. I love sci fi....tv series more so than movies. Anime is the shit for me. Right now I am watching Golgo 13 the tv series and it is excellent. I prefer Buster Keaton to Charlie Chaplin.

I can watch Hitchcock show up in his movies but I can't stomach Spike Lee or Woody Allen I don't dig George Jefferson any more than I like Archie Bunker.
And I believe Donald Trump is here to show those who believe in the electoral process that something is wrong with the process when something like that can enter that particular office and flourish. The ONLY thing I see about him that differs from those that came before him is that he says what is on his mind and does not pretend like the others to have the people's interest at heart, and I still think he is a slug. I choose not to whine or bitch about things without planning to do something about it.... but my opinions sound like they are carved in stone.
I don't have an off switch so I must be careful around bullies...very careful.
I dream of building my own moving tentacles as per Doc Oc in the Spiderman comics, building a log cabin on a plot of 12 acres or so in upstate New York, building my first amplifier, finishing another screenplay but not for sale, adopt an group of sailors who are in harm's way in the military and make sure they get regular care packages, food, video, music and bullet proof vests. I want to help fund a platform for children who are abused and marginalized and help create a lobby for them like the tobacco lobby or AARP...so that one day no child will have to die a death in the womb that no serial killer will ever have to experience at the hands of the justice system....and no child will have its genitals mutilated to fund the billion dollar foreskin industry. These things and more I want to do with the rest of the time allotted me by the god of my understanding. I am about ten days old where posting on Steem is concerned. Much that people speak here about the blockchain of makes no sense to me. I have trouble finding posts I can digest. Any help from anyone who reads this would be welcome.
Ken...here's a pic of a giant music box I had built.

I did the calculations in my head. This baby has twin subwoofers that people told me could not be made to operate together. So much for what could not be done.
Thanks for the invite Ken. I am beginning to like this space. Lots to learn though. Much to learn and to earn. Peace and blessings to you all. And may the gods stand between you and harm...in all the empty places where you must walk. Cheers!
