Who Am I

A scribe.  I write about what I see around me.

A jester. I dress up and try to humor the king and queen and subjects in their kingdom

A financier. I invest in companies and intrepid projects.

A philanthropist. I give most of my time to causes that don’t have financial return.

A philosopher. I have many philosophies and would really like to discuss them.

An explorer.  I am always ready for an adventure to a new part of the world.

Those sum me up pretty good but I could do more. 

I keep thinking about the question, “what do you do?”, which is commonly asked when meeting someone new. Most answers will be very one dimensional to quickly try to help the asker make an assumption, usually about how you support yourself in capitalism.

I practice responding differently to the question almost every time I am asked.  It depends on what story I want to tell or what discussion I want to prompt or who is the person asking.

Who are you? Give me at least 3 descriptors. None of them should be what you do to make money.

Happy Friday and weekend

As I young child I was influenced heavily by Les Miserables, after reading and watching the Musical in San Francisco. I would play the CD of the original cast many times as a 12 year old. The dialogue Jean Valjean has in his head about who he is was very impactful on how I would end up processing problems in my own mind.
