This is about me, what I do, and well, all the social media I can handle.

To the future;

So, I haven’t been very good at updating the site, as I have a life to live, cars to work on, and many more things that I can’t even begin to mention. I know I’ve owned this site since I was a teenager and have had many things here, I don’t fall for social media so much anymore these days because I feel it is too intrusive and puts your information out for all to see, and ultimately owning your own name as a website does the same. However, I feel that I need to have an online presence to show off everything I do, and here are the things I am doing now.

1: I am working on this site, ever so slowly. Working on my writing skills and trying to develop a fancier vocabulary, as I see it this is an opportunity to slow down and take the time to write out what I’m thinking while also trying to find nicer ways of saying things. I have always been a bit of a potty mouth and would like to sound more professional.

2: Photography, I have always loved taking pictures but have never showcased anything because I never really thought I took nice pictures. I want to learn more about using my camera, be it my DSLR, Point and Shoot, or my drone, of which I own several (more on that later). So to that point, I will be showcasing some of my finer photos here on my site and perhaps, if I take some good ones I will make prints available for sale, this is an idea that hasn’t been tested, nor is likely to be viable but I’d like to think someone would like to buy my pictures.

3: Drones and RC, I’ve recently been bitten by the drone hobby bug and have been collecting a small army of drones to build/repair and fly around my neighborhood. This hobby may lead to me launching a website just for drones/repair and sales

4: Youtube: I’m shutting down my JunkWhisperer channel as it wasn’t successful by any means and I really didn’t enjoy it. Its domain may be repurposed for another idea and I haven’t given up on youtube as a hobby, I think I’d like to stick with the idea of repurposing other people’s junk to keep it out of the landfills and extend the life of technology, cars, motorcycles, and other misc things. but also I live in an apartment and filling it up with these kinds of things is not practical.

5: Voice Acting: This hasn’t been on my radar for many years, and probably never will be — if Dad was still alive I would give it a serious shot but I think that those days are over.

6: Weight loss: As I’m nearing 40 I realized that I can’t be large and in charge of my life, the last time I went in for a physical the Dr. made a crack about being 2 points away from being morbidly obese and since then I have lost 50 pounds, I still have about 25 pounds to go and I’m hoping that when I go in for this years physical I will no longer need cholesterol medication. — GO KETO!

If you have made it this far into my writing, god bless you. This was just a quick summary of what I’m thinking about and I hope to make this blog posting a more regular thing, even if no one is reading it I can think of it as an online journal, anyway, breaks over and I need to get back to work!!
