I'm not necessarily new but I've not posted much. I mostly do a lot of reading of posts. I'm not really sure what to say.

I'm Michael, I'm 34, and 'm from Utah. I like watching science fiction tv shows, watching documentaries, Reading about science or philosophical or psychological topics, taking walks and bicycle rides, spending time in complete solitude, listening to music, traveling, and relaxing. I'm into meditation, zen, and minimalism.

I am good with technology and I've managed to use that as an employment strength... though the office atmosphere and culture drives me crazy and stresses me out.

I mostly like routine, except when I'm bored and seek adventure. Then I usually end up overwhelmed and overstimulated ... and return to liking routine again. :-)

I was in special education for most of my school years until high school. I graduated college with a four year degree after seven years of hard work. My mom and dad were so proud.

I tend to think of society and employment as a weird game that people play. I do my best to play by their goofy rules only as much as I have to in order to get by... but I also try to live my life as it makes me happiest. I do what makes sense for me.

Star Treks (especially TNG), Star Wars, X-Men franchise, the Matrix, and Back to the Future are some of my top favorites. 😊

ah, now this is like me right here. :lol:

what kind of documentaries you usually watch? i like to read about the mind as well and a night watching a good documentary about the mind is a great way to pass the time. medical ones too.

i get to school on my trusty cannondale f9. every day. it's got a few kinks but o well. :D

regarding traveling where have you been? i for one have never stepped foot in land that was not once part of New Spain but i would like to go to hungary or (old) spain or israel.

welcome to the club.

Documentaries about science, history, technology, the mind, and people I find interesting.

Traveling, I've been around the U.S., Mexico, Costa Rica, Spain, France, and Italy. I am planning to go to Greece next September. I'll also be in Mexico and Hawaii in the coming 6 months.
