Bio

Yes. I have been here in this strange magical mystery tour of a ride for 31 years and I'll not bore you with the bits and pieces.
Short story: Had a great youth of curiosity and audacity; lost the plot as bipolar disorder messed my noodle up, taking over 10 years of my life into sheer madness that I'll not describe. But alas I have finally found a new cocktail of chemicals to even me out and feel ready to make up for the sort of post-school journey of self-exploration many like myself seem drawn toward.
I have always had strange experiences that I won't bother with sharing [especially after admitting openly to being crazy, lol], but the universe is a crazy place of infinite potential as far as I'm concerned and I love seeking out it's juicy essences and sucking the marrow out of the very bones of life and death.

Additional study

Deep study of myself attempted through spiritual and philisophical and "shamanistic" methods [most successful when combined with meditation-oh my] over the past ten years to find mental health; now I'm bored studying myself, have given up on the big metaphysical and existential hairsplitting and am giving myself over to visceral experience advanced tutorial learning to live as part of the world rather than in a consciousness of poverty and competition primarily through gaining hands on experience with the fact that the earth gives us everything we really need, not Walmart and that there are limitless posibilities of lifestyle and people and ideas that were bound to be great friends and teachers.
