What, for the love of all that is ridiculous, is this blog about?

Happy Thursday!

...Okay, fine, how would you have started this post?

         So.... I have given very few clues as to what this blog will be about.   I will try fill you in without being boring.  I am a guy who has way to many interests to be considered healthy.  This will be a conversational blog about interesting facts about all of them.  Brains, fiction books, the science of the human body, religion, how to have a happy life, economics, human nature...

        I spend a lot of time studying the human brain, and the ways we use it.  I'm studying to be a psychological therapist, and study a lot of neuroscience.  So basically....

              This is your brain:

And this your brain on my blog:

       I plan disect the human brain and psyche for us all to have a poke around.  Keep your shirt on... I just mean I'll post a lot about what I have learned, where I think mainstream psychology gets a bit full of itself, (*coughFREUDcough*) and a few theories.  (Picture the universe as a giant brain...)  I also like to put them in perspective by seeing how modern psychological theory affects and even changes all of us, even when we don't notice it; in religion, work, the grocery store, you name it.  

I read stuff and I write stuff.

       I love fiction.  I think they often have amazing points, and can teach us about ourselves and the way we see the world.  I read all kinds of things, but my escape is fantasy and science fiction novels.   I write some of my own; mixing in neuroscience, quirkiness, a sprinkle of redhead, and stir to a simmer.

         I'll post some examples, as long as you promise to tell me exactly what you think.  And as long as you guys aren't totally against my retelling of Cinderella as a sci-fi covert agent, the 3 little pigs as a western, and Rapunzel as a psychiatric patient.  (Oh, and in case the picture isn't clear.... I'm holding a ring...)

I do the 'making of stuffs' thing

         I like to make stuff in real life.  My wife is a huge Dr. Who fan (even more so than me,)  so I made her these TARDIS earrings for her birthday.  Yes, it took a long time.  And yes, I am pretty much the best husband ever.

        I am working on turning an old piano into a computer desk.  Expect at least a few posts about crazy ideas that I am excited about!

I Actually Have a Job. 

(I Know, Who'd have thunk?)

        I'm a piano professional piano technician.  This means I tune them and I fix them, and I love them, and I am a horrendous piano snob.  (That's me with the guts of a grand piano, making it all better.)  Won't make me rich, but I love it, and will still probably keep it up on the side even after I get licensed as a psych therapist.  I won't write much about this directly, (I'll save that for www.pianotunerman.com,) but it taught me a lot about work, business, marketing, and people. 

I'm all Growed Up With Kids 'n Stuff

        Most important of all, I am a happily married husband of 6 years (as of last week,) and the proud father of two shoulder angels.  Well, one at least, depending on the day, and whether or not they have decided to give my laptop a "bath."  Yeah, don't ask.

        Still, laptop baths included, I'm glad I'm a daddy, and nauseatingly glad I married my wife.  I promise, this blog won't be just a brag-fest or a glorified love-letter, but I'll put in all the things that my psychology studies, my parents, my own thoughts, and experience has taught me about some really amazing secrets to dealing with the hard parts.  Like how I partly blame the way we teach about Charles Darwin for the rise of the divorce rate in the USA.

Stay tuned, stay sexy, and sign in tomorrow to figger out what the devil I mean by such ridiculous claim.
