Interests

The two things that are most important in my life are art in many forms(music, film/television, painting/other visual artworks, literature, and others) and relationships with others I have a dynamic spiritual relationship with my best understanding of God; also, I am devoted and close to my family I draw a comic strip, which I am trying to get nationally syndicated, published, and available to a large audience My favorite pastime is playing electric blues/classic rock guitar and keyboards I also love watching and playing sports My primary focus regarding my life's work is to do whatever I can to make the biggest positive impact in three areas The advancement of human interest in values that I feel are crucial for a healthy and happy population is one area which would be impactful to all creatures as humans are the caretakers of the planet, and changing human behavior can affect all other areas Secondly, I would like to make an impact focused on helping all non-human creatures through things like protection and habitat conservation The third area I would like to impact is improving the health of the natural earth itself through environmental efforts These are weighty and massive goals that no one person can fully address, but I will likely try to make a difference through influencing people through art, gaining some clout or influence to make my voice and opinions heard, and by earning, raising, and giving what resources I can to directly help these causes I believe that most of these changes will come through educating people and changing their hearts and minds to valuing these areas as being important and worthy of their interest and care
