Did you ever think you were awesome? 🤦
Not the kind of awesome that you are by being here right now on a platform that could change the future, but the kind of awesome that is egotistical and offensive to almost everyone forced to be in your presence. When I was younger, an ooze of pretentious entitlement leaked from my pores that frankly, I"m offended by when I see it in others now. I used to think I was awesome.
Did it come from Star Wars?
Who was your favorite Star Wars character growing up?
Mine was Luke.
A simple farm boy that accidentally discovered he was the most important person in the universe (kind of).
I thought maybe I was the most important person in the universe. I thought somehow I could change the world. I thought war and lying were stupid, and if we all just told the truth there would be peace.
I was an idiot
I was so naive. The world should work like an easily figureoutable (I probably spelled like this back then too) board game, or video game.
As I grew up I finally realized that maybe I didn't know everything. I began the process of learning things on my own.
Before there was google and a phone with access to all of the information in the world in your pocket, I studied using mostly books, video tapes, and real world practice.
I learned...
🎵 Music theory
🎸 How to play guitar
🎭 Performing (in a band and from theater)
🔊 Audio Production
✍️ How to write (this was mostly from school)
🖥️ Some computer coding (mostly on a TI-82 graphic calculator)
When the internet finally showed up, I learned a small amount of...
🔭 Physics and
🔬 Quantum physics
🧘 Meditation, spirituality and
💪 Diet and excersize
and more recently...
🎂 Baking
🎙️ Voiceover
📷 Basic photography
📹 Video and photo editing
🤳 ...and a little marketing and personal branding
and more importantly about...
Steem and other blockchain technologies, of which I have zero stake in (at the moment).
Also, I love coffee.
☕
Follow me to learn more about my journey on how we can use our cumulative skills together to make the world a better place.
P.S.
maybe Luke is the center of the universe
I love Star Wars and look forward to giving you a full report of the new episode.
