I'm just now getting around to making this. I've been reading through all the other introductory post before I decided to make mine. I have to admit that my life is not all that interesting compared to content of some of these other post that I have read. With that being said I'll try to keep this short.



My name is Matt. I work in IT currently. I have diverse interest and am pretty well read on majority of them. They would include physics, pharmacology, neurology, anatomy and physiology, cognitive science, philosophy, computer science, cryptocurrency, and especially music. I am an aspiring musician of sorts but currently don't have as much time as I would like to invest in making that a reality. I play guitar, and enjoy listening to and playing all types of music. I try my best to maintain a certain level of physical fitness and eat a healthy diet.  (although this has been lacking lately) Not much more to say about myself. My upbringing is nothing special, I grew up pretty poor and am just trying to make my way to a better life. I have some really good friends (who I'm trying to get to join the site) and family that have always helped me get by.  

I'm going to share a few quotes that are important to me.

> How long will this last, this delicious feeling of being alive, of having penetrated the veil which hides beauty and the wonders of celestial vistas? It doesn't matter, as there can be nothing but gratitude for even a glimpse of what exists for those who can become open to it.

― Alexander Shulgin

> This is the product of a d.i.y. inadequate home
Grabbing a cabin in the-fuck-outta-dodge
Actin' a savage in the shadows of Rome
Traffic amassed against insufferable odds
Fashioning gallows out of plastic and bone

― Aesop Rock

>All is one. Separation is an illusion. Consciousness is a congenital hallucination. Life is merely a dream.

>You do not exist beyond your capacity to imagine yourself.

―Me, during a psychonaut-esque moment on a camping trip


Here are a few picture I have that are mildly interesting.

I went camping with some friends on the beach and we encountered a lady who was out there for the purpose of photographing sea turtles. She happened to find one and came back to us and to show us where so we could take a look. She had us wait to get close until she was done covering her eggs. After that she took some pictures and we tried to get in the photo before the turtle made it back out to sea.

Here are some other photos from a nature reserve near where I live that we used to go wonder around all the time. It's been a really long time since I've been out there and these are making want to go again. Perhaps I'll do that and take some more photos for another post.
