One of mankind's greatest accomplishments - The Arts. Sampling and composing new musical harmonies, creating the greatest story ever told and letting our imagination run wild in drawings, paintings and sculpture have been the truest and most formidable contributions to our species. Through the Arts people are united, sharing the process of creativity while bestowing examples of beauty that are savored in the present and future for our human society. Its primary investment is simply time and energy, so much healthier and beneficial than waging war and misery. Time is not money, time is art!(PJ)

I've always been a generalist who pursues interests in an assortment of subjects like anthropology, biology, botany, chemistry, history, linguistics, philosophy, political science, sociology, and of course anything having to do with art. Being a specialist would be too restrictive for my interests, there's so much out there in which to be intrigued.

My first job ...

ummm, a big brother at two and 3/4. It was actually much more like a labor of love. It was the greatest, but I have since retired from that profession when my little sister had her first child twelve years ago.

My inspiration ...

the principle that change is a constant... I don't know, what kind of question is that anyway?
