Just a reminder that I am ALIVE and a human being-- not a replica or a fax or a bot or a clone-- perhaps a little strange but authentically a LIVING BREATHING HUMAN BEEEEING!!

#IAMALIVE

In a world that is increasing populated by artificial intelligences, it is important that we know what we are dealing with here. I am a person, born in a womb, birthed like a cannonball shot into this world tumbling through the clouds until I finally reach my final resting place and crash into the fortress of the future like a wrecking ball. I am here to BE, and to LEARN, and EXPRESS myself!

And I create quality experiences for others, I love to have fun and try to share what I have discovered with others! I am still learning, although I am getting older, I never stop trying to grow. I am perfectly imperfect and don't think of myself as some messiah or savior, I am just a one of a kind motivated and inspiring guy! Sometimes people take it to far, but at least that makes me memorable.

When was in middle school I really wanted to make websites, so I would go to the library after school and spend time working on my FortuneCity website, looking at the source code of various web pages and practiced writing html in the notepad, then uploading and saving my work using the file manager before my session shut down and erased all the temporarily saved files.

That's why I can write <a href=" >< a> and < img src=" "> now in my Hive posts and it's fun for me.

For years I spent time and money building websites that no one but I used, tools that I thought were really cool but never really got a huge following. I was working with Flash3 before YouTube existed, wanted to create shows before 'Viral' was anything but a sickness. I was doing stop-animation on my parents videotape camcorder before I was even in grade 6. I wanted to do podcasting with my friend in college but I was too obsessed with creating the next big social media website, before FB.

I even tried building my own Robot before Tesla Optimus was serving drinks at SpaceX launches. I often seem to be one step ahead of what is coming, but I try to keep learning and don't get hung up on being the biggest or the best. It is enough to me that I get to witness these hundred monkeys all discover similar things, and see how it unfolds. I wonder, what is next?? What will be the thing that totally transforms the world and changes things for everyone? Even Bitcoin, when I finally started paying attention, inspired me! But Hive, well this tool is actually useful to me. I can write my blogs.

It may not be much, stamping my thoughts into the Hive blockchain every week, but it's my part.

Something new is just around the corner though and I am cleaning up my messes, organizing my belongings, throwing out the junk and trying not to start anything new until I at least feel caught up. Yet there is always something exciting and interesting that catches my attention! Whether it's building games, or translating old stories, learning about emerging technologies, or driving to near and far locations, I am happy and grateful to be alive and on this journey right now!! Life is amazing!

And I am ALIVE!
