i started exploring my past a few years ago. i have spent most of my life hiding from myself. or not being present wherever i was. one day a switch was thrown somewhere inside of me and most of what i saw was seen in a different light.

so after seeing in a different light i thought that i might be able to take that same light and illuminate my past. perhaps, i thought, i would be able to learn something in the process about what made me, me.

looking at a past event without any judgement about what i was seeing was profound in the least. and did not paint a rosy picture. i learned that if i did not change and change entirely towards pursuing a life that puts light on everything i see i would become less and less instead of more and more.

they are just words. you understand so well. just words. the shadow behind the words that moves them is the magician.

not the words.

most inventions i think about remain in my head. some make it to paper. a few make it to the shop. some even get finished.

i tend to do many things at once. i had a artist friend that was very successful at marketing his paintings. his studio had fifteen to twenty easels each with a painting in process. that is what my yard is like. lots of weird little piles of projects.

but i get most of what i start done. and if i decide that it is a wasted effort in the middle of it i take it back to the scrapheap or change it to something else.

if i only had more money. so i do the same thing at work. i have a isp that covers most of the valley with high speed internet. a very large lan. covers over 600 square miles with wireless internet. and for $50 a month i sell speed.

so everything i do is fun. work included.
