About Me

I grew up in NE Ohio,,under strict Germanic structure,with the ethics of the Amish.I was tagged a child prodigy,having mastered fine art techniques and renderings,at an early age.I was a quiet,withdrawn child,somewhat ostracized,in my community,as left handed children were associated w satan,by the church and schools,at the time.So,I drew,alone.I trained in mechanical drafting,with all it's hand wrought lettering and lines,being solitary work.I moved south,to become a successful exotic dancer,thriving in the opportunity to express myself through performance art.I am currently compiling my life's portfolio.Tho, having been most heinously victimized,by a serial bigamist,I have returned to University,prelaw,with hopes of passing the Bar,in the near future.I am a master calligrapher and portraiturist.

A comment on Conversation: Clean technology, while a huge opportunity, will not go to scale in time to prevent a global economic and social crisis.

Mar 22 2012: Just sounds like a bunch of big words strung together by a bunch of do nothings sitting behind computer screens trying to seem intelligent-paying $50-$150 a month,every month to access the interweb-suckers. Donate big $$$ to "Apple" so they can pay desperately poor Chinese teens a dollar an hr. to put together your piece of electronic garbage that will be purposely outdated by Christmas.
A comment on Theme: Medicine Without Borders

Nov 15 2011: Does the "TED" website have any legal liability when it comes to carelessly dispensing medical advice over the internet? This is ridiculous.

Sep 13 2011: Ppl shouldn't be taking medical advice/direction off the interweb,especially off a site that is supposed to be concentrating on the business of art/design.
