Current Affairs

I am into people who are passionate about life, say what they mean and mean what the say. I believe that one's own fate can be adjusted between certain potential outcomes as we are defined by our portfolio of decisions and underlying intents. %u201CThe depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life, for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves.%u201D I am not judgmental as I wait for others to say or take action that allows me to get an impression as to who they really are as they are their best judge of character. I consider myself to be a very loyal and candid person with lots of empathy...I value sharing, especially a good story or joke... I frequent art galleries, my gym, live entertainment events, comedy clubs, billiards, biking, live theater, foreign films, loads of travel, hiking through rustic terrain perhaps checking out historic abandoned buildings and intimate gatherings with friends/family%u2026.. I have traveled globally. I am very astute at networking social vistas no matter the socio-economic or cultural bent. If you do not see me blazing with my 8 or so mile jogging routine, I may be reading philosophy, psychology, interior design, politics, history, social affairs, legal, arts etc. books and other publications. I am somewhat creative in that I engage in creative writing (i.e. poetry, film as well as nonfiction), sculptor, painting i.e. oils, water colors. I am also very much into athletic pursuits. I am all about change for the better. My lifestyle resides at the Golden Mean of Arts and Science, working in the applied Sciences by day so as to enjoy the Arts by nite.

I am an iridescent artisan reminiscent of Pierre Bourdieu's commentary respecting the %u2018%u2018decline of the intellectual artisan in favor of the salaried worker%u2019%u2019(Bourdieu, Field of Cultural Production, p.130) in modernity. In other words, I work as a consultant in the arena of social and technology arbitrage. Seeking economic autonomy from "Main Street" allows me to be engaged in several social engineering projects and other life interests. I really enjoy the dynamic of understanding the truth within opposing views. %u201CThere are three classes of people: those who see. Those who see when they are shown. Those who do not see.%u201D My lifestyle embodies elements of Antonio Gramsci's creed as his idyllic principles punctuate my daily life. Antonio Gramsci, the Italian philosopher, whose body of work suggests that "intellectual artisans" hold a unique social position in that the intellectual artisan-worker is in a better position to choose where her or his loyalties will be socially invested. In that sense, I have freedom to pursue evolving my life in a variety of meaningful ways. "To be what we are, and to become what we are capable of becoming, is the only end of life%u201D ~Robert Louis Stevenson, "Of Men and Books," 1882 Even though I adhere to the adage "we are what we eat", I truly believe that this is not as true as we are what we learn and this defines who we are, "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read & write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, & relearn". ~ Alvin Toffler, "Rethinking the Future". To that end, I do not judge others but I believe that they do a pretty good job by themselves as to showing their true colors...Life is an odyssey of sorts... "The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.%u201D

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.%u201D Life has evolved into a game aided by technology. The science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke once said: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." "The chess board is the world. The pieces with which we play are the natural phenomena of the universe into which we have been placed, and the game, like life itself, is governed by a set of rules; %u2018the Laws of Nature%u2019. We assume that we play white; that we make the first move, but we cannot be sure because our opponent, whoever He may be, is permanently hidden from view. And whilst we are aware that play, forced to reside within the rules, is always fair, just and patient, we must never forget that He will never overlook a mistake or make even the smallest allowance for our inherent ignorances. And in life, as in chess, retreat is usually nothing more than a carefully concealed preparation for attack....."
