My birthday is in May of 1975. I have lived in about 26 different states and I have visited a handful of countries, including Mexico, France, Japan, and Korea. I am an avid reader. I always have been, and I finally read Atlas Shrugged around ’95. I enlisted in the Marine Corps in ’97, right after I turned 22. In the four years, I read nearly the entire body of Objectivism, which is my philosophy.I have had a most interesting life so far. Not all good, but much, much better since I have been influenced greatly by Objectivism. I often have said that you will always find what you are looking for, and I did. I wasted much of my time reading all sorts of useless materials, like New Age, religious, biographies, and right as I was beginning to read philosophies I saw Ayn Rand and picked up Atlas Shrugged. After many years of persistent study, I now consider myself an Objectivist.
I have gotten an Associates in Arts and a Computer Engineering degree at Texas A&M.
I am now a Controls Engineer Las Colinas.
“Invictus”
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
William Ernest Henley. 1849–1903
