"If what Proust says is true, that happiness is the absence of fever, then I will never know happiness. For I am possessed by a fever for knowledge, experience, and creation." -- Anais Nin
That is one my all time favorite quotes and perfect to start out my first blog...as a means to introduce myself! So about me....
I am passionate about learning new things and experiencing life to the fullest. That may mean that I have 10 projects going at once none which are related (Carpentry....why not! Even knitting....and not your grannies knitting! Modeling....could be
Training for a marathon....ouch, but sure. Supporting friends in their endeavors..... Etc. Etc. Etc!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO TRAVEL!!!! And, do so every chance I get. A few of my favorite places/experiences....sitting on the Kilauea Volcano on the big island of Hawaii at night to star gaze and watch the lava in the distance; a remote lighthouse in Scotland amidst the fog and mist along with a cute little flippy seal; the Orkney islands and the Neolithic monuments with Viking graffiti....Thor was here....how cool is that; The clear emerald and sapphire hues of the Lakes of Montebello near San Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico; Para-gliding off of Monte Blanc in the French Alps....breathtaking; Hiking the only temperate coniferous rainforest in the world - Olympic National Rain Forest in Washington State. Okay, I could keep going, but I think you get the point!
Professionally, I am a professor in statistics with research in genetics. (Yes, I can feel you cringe, and I know you probably had an awful statistics or mathematics teacher....I know....here is a big hug for you) I have always been a math nerd but wanted to do something useful with it so I spend my research time working on ways to find genes that cause human disease. If we find them, we can possibly make drugs for these diseases or predict those most at risk. Outside of research, I try to teach others how to misuse and abuse statistics appropriately
Just kidding....I am all about the truth!
So that is me in a nutshell....okay, no, you are not getting me in a nutshell....not even one from a Brazil nut....YUM!
Oh, and...I have one large tattoo and a small tattoo. I've got two large tattoos in the works. I'm looking for a good artist in/near Oklahoma. I've got 14 piercings...not sure where to stick any more
