“Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more: it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing"
I like my privacy, so I'll keep this short and somewhat vague. :) I grew up on a farm in the province of Alberta, Canada. Had good grades in school, moved to the city and went to university and then to a technical institute. I've had a lot of different jobs, but ended up working with computers and have been doing that for some time now. I do at least 50% of the work on my cars and more around the house. I like to know things are done right, plus I just like to get hands on with things. There's that sense of accomplishment that you get. You can learn a lot and it's also cheaper than having someone else do it for you....sometimes quite a bit cheaper. And as everyone knows, knowledge is power. Plus I like being independent. Which leads me into why I'm here on Minds and other similar platforms. I refuse to be a slave. And what I'm seeing everywhere is people being tricked into giving up not just their own freedoms, but the freedoms of everyone else, including future generations. Any info that I can give here is a drop in the bucket, but every drop counts in this war against the enslavement of humanity.
I have no experience in media other than having been a member of his high school journalism team. As a photographer there, I spent lots of time in the dark room where the rest of the class wouldn't bother me. I have even less experience in web design which is obvious as you peruse my website. My nonexistent business acumen is sure to be the downfall of the Damascus Dispatch, which will at lease result in a spectacular ball of flames.
I’m old, tired, and extremely pissed off at the state of the world.
As a former truck driver, former licensed psychiatric technician, and a former navy corpsman, I have a take like no other and I’m not afraid to tell it like it is.
I guarantee that, if nothing, I’m going to, at the very least, ruffle some feathers.
I now do back work for a living while posting memes, essays, and comments on Minds in my off time and I’m really happy to be here.
