Hey there! I'm a bit of a jack-of-all-trades. I love to read and write, and I'm a big fan of sci-fi, memoirs, and fantasy. I'm also a dancer, collector of books, and a bit of a memorizer (even though I've lost my mind a time or two!). Oh, and I can't forget to mention that I'm a pink alien and an optimist at heart.
While I may be a bit awkward at small talk, I'm a friendly soul, and these days, I'm even something of a priest! I got my ordination certificate from Dudeism, and I've been known to dabble in time travel too.
When it comes to my writing, I like to focus on what's going on around me, and my fiction and fantasy shorts have even made me think about changing reality. I once produced, directed, and wrote over 30 short films in the span of a few weeks!
My poetry and autograph collection are also near and dear to my heart, and I'm constantly adding to them. As for my dreams? Well, they're a bit like Mark Twain's quote about wanting to be a pirate.
If you want to check out some of my writing or films, you can find them on blogs and imdb. And last but not least, I believe in Christ.
I am a proud American, a former Soviet Jew, a patriot, and an IT professional. “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.”

Meet Gerome -The new designated spokes person for this channel. Gerome is not the typical garden variety gnome nor is he a stay at home gnome. Gerome is into art, photography, music, travel and more. He freely speaks his mind. He may not always be politically correct, however it is never his goal to purposely offend anyone. He firmly believes Truth can survive all logical and reasonable debate. Gerome is a skeptic. He believes that Science is only a tool...a method of inquiry ...not a test of "truth". Science seeks to prove a THEORY through controlled and closely monitored repetition. However neither consistency nor apparent correlation of results is actual "proof" of causation. It is merely an indication of the probability of a specific result. Science is NEVER settled. That's why "Scientific conclusions" will always remain theories.... Useful ...sometimes...accurate predictions .. but not necessarily attributable to factors as outlined in the currently accepted theory. Certain things mankind will probably never know or understand. Such matters lie in the domain of God and the realm of faith.

Money problems solved.
Debt management sounds like a scam, but isn't. You can legitimately get interest on debts written off. Better than succumbing to the grind, trying to work for 20 hours straight. Artistic grind is fine, plugging away at something you think worthwhile in itself, with what time and effort you have. But work grind grinding away hours to get money... you need to either reduce your life expenses, or increase your pay per hour. When you're dead everything is done, it's fixed and final. It'll be too late to do what you wanted to in life.

Join a union! ( It's like backing the right horse,even if you don't do anything apart from paying your sub, as long you need to work to live, then you benefit from upwards pressure from your union on wages and conditions - and as long as it's not a toothless union, obviously. If you're union hasn't got you a wage increase at least as much as your monthly sub you've wasted your money. IWGB for example got its' members paid £thousands during the Covid pandemic, by threatening to take the British government to court, as its members didn't qualify for "furlough" like directly employed workers, which forced the govt to start the SEISS scheme .) https://iwgb.org.uk/en/ (E.g. for those in non-traditional employment, if your sector isn't represented you can still join the holding branch). Unions aren't about group think, grassroots ones aren't anyway , they're about combination. You can only do so much on your own.https://www.instagram.com/reel/Co_6lOZIdu4/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet . What's the alternative to combination ? Dog-eat - dog. Pyramid schemes, and grifts, and things that really benefit the grifter most. Gurus who say get a suitable girl who is going to buff you up, get you prestige in front of friends and family. Go for the big bucks first. The goods or services are secondary . Hustle. That'll end up in CCJs and disgruntled customers on the phone, prolly as the infant you've now bred as well starts screaming in the background. That's not to say business gurus are bad people, or wrong about everything . They're right in that you need to get paid. This is from one of Ayn Rand's protégés: "The reality from my vantage point was that 50 billion years from now, when the earth is nothing but an ice ball, my problems of today will be too insignificant to have been recorded. Indeed, there would undoubtedly not even be a record of the entire century in which I had lived most of my life." (Robert J. Ringer," Winning Through Intimidation ". His first books are relentless. Later books admit not everyone has to think like him, or Ayn Rand.)
