When I'm not developing or expanding my knowledge in graphic design or programming...
I enjoy playing the guitar, watching horror films and riding fast motorbikes (Current Bike is a Kawasaki Ninja), I also like to go snorkelling when possible.
Just remember knowledge is power so try and learn something new at least once every day and stay safe out there… Happy Studying.
Having found out in 2021 after a CT head for sinus pain that I have frontal and parietal lobe brain damage. Which I now know to have been caused by trauma when I was 14 years old, which went undiagnosed for more than 40 years, due to medical negligence, even though all the signs were there, and I have always known that something was very wrong with me, as I am noticeably different from others and I tried to tell my GP many, many times over the years, although my pleas fell on deaf, egoistical ears and I was considered a drain on resources. So in the end I became despondent, although now I have the scans to prove why I am like this, and I have changed my useless excuse for a GP, I am finally getting the help I need.
I also have super powers as there is always good that comes with the bad and I have been given a gift of second sight, which is like my sixth sense. I know stuff before it happens, I can pick up supposedly hidden signals from people, I can read body language and facial expressions as well as read any room or situation better than any FBI profiler. As my brain has adapted to having no empathy to protect me all these years. As this is our brains function, to protect us and keep us safe at all costs including dissociation.
So now I try to live every day as if it is my last, do what thou will and enjoy every minute! Especially when you’re riding down country lanes at speeds in excess of 100mph. Although I know I am safe due to my hyper vigilance, though it may also be down to the fact that I have no fear and little to no sense of danger. It’s nice to be oblivious with no sense of mortality, it makes for a fun life doing what you want when you want no matter the consequences, even though sometimes I cannot help my behaviour and other times it is not even me, which is out of my control anyway, so on with this crazy ride, enjoy it while you can.
