Fight the MCP....Major Cable Providers!

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a fan of the Disney movie "Tron" and it's sequel, "Tron Legacy." If you don't know me well, this will gradually become apparent as time goes on.

Anyway, for those who don't know, the original Tron was about a computer programmer and his battle against the Master Control Program (or MCP). Well, here in the real world of the 21st century, we're battling another MCP...Major Cable Providers.

The FCC recently repealed Net Neutrality, effectively handing control of the internet to major cable companies like Comcast and AT&T. This means they will have the final say over what content can be put out on the internet. I, personally, don't like seeing my freedoms stripped away.

That's why, on February 27th, I am joining a massive online protest to push congress to block the FCC repeal of the Net Neutrality act. Join me, please! After all, there are really no problems, only solutions! Go to: http://www.battleforthenet.com/onemorevote

A Sea Change for me

Wow! I actually forgot about this blog! Now, here it is, several years later, and I've undergone some fundamental changes. Where to start!

In the years since I've posted I have experienced grief on numerous levels...the worst of which was the love of my life, the one who, originally, introduced me to the Seventh-Day Adventist church. That was unlike anything I have ever experienced. The pain was the worst I had ever felt, emotionally speaking.

I've added layers to my faith. I have begun studying the Hindu sacred text, The Bhagavad Gita, and found truths in it that I didn't when I tried reading it about 15 years ago. I am also using guided meditation and yoga to help me stay balanced as a person. This is for my physical, emotional and spiritual health. I'm managing my type 2 diabetes, and the heart disease I discovered I have back in 2013.

The other new part of my spiritual/hollistic journey is preparing to learn Reiki. Reiki = guided lifeforce energy and is used for healing and balancing the bodys energies. 

The final new chapter in my life that I want to tell you about here is that, since August of 2016, I have been learning to play bass guitar. I'm starting to enter the intermediate stage. I could go on and on about that, but I want to keep this a brief overview, not turn it into a novel.

Oh, and let's not forget...I relocated to San Francisco to be with my current girlfriend, Donna, and have been in this wonderful city since May of 2014.

So, yeah, that, in a nutshell, is my new life, and the sea change I have gone through. Buckle up, and I'll take you on the rest of the journey!
