Since 1988 I've studied Sanskrit, Yoga and Indian Philosophy which has helped me to circle back to Western Ideas and philosophy, religion and culture.

I've also wasted a lot of time doing nonsense which also pays off in a negative way.

I've spent many years since 1986 writing. I'm not going to say that I'm good but I've been paid to do it for other people and even in work scenarios.

I've been mostly vegetarian since 1986. I'm 54 and I don't take any medicines. I can work for 10 hours without eating and this is building things like piers, concrete formwork or other outside activities.

I've spent many years in the Linux world since 1998/99. Every laptop or desktop I've bought since 2004 I've removed Microsoft Windows and installed Ubuntu, and now mostly Linux Mint.

Did I stake also I've spent a lot of time doing stupid shit?

If I could do it all again I would not change anything.
