A New Sunrise

Welcome to "Visions of Noise", a resurrection of a blog which died after over a decade of existence. Who I am is not as important as what I have to say. What I am is an eclectic mix of characters, sufficeth to say, I am but a wandering soul in search of what the common man would call, "home."

As of this writing, I am well into my fifties. My life has not been all too kind and the years of battling life's tempests have all but worn me out both physically, mentally and emotionally.

I created a blog not unlike this one years ago, as a means to find where it is I am going in this life.

I started out as a "normal", unremarkable child but as time passed, I would find myself in extraordinary circumstances that would make me both famous and infamous to people who know me personally.

To this day, I would consider myself a nobody though many of my adventures are nothing short of incredible and often, I would hear people remark, "Damn, you did (this or that)?

I would only recognize the awesomeness of some of my feats when I interact with people and tell them all those stories. Otherwise, I would see nothing extraordinary about what I did or what I have achieved.

My influence in some sectors is well recognized--which is why it is not so difficult to find a bone to pick in me. I have built a reputation based on credibility over the years and in one, swift motion, all these went down the drain.

In many ways, I am all fucked up.

But life goes on and the search for a suitable resting place for my soul continues. As of this time, I am clueless as to what step to take in which direction. I am as lost as LOST could ever be!

My battle cry, "redime te captum quam queas minimo,"  (Redeem yourself from captivity in a cheap manner.) is a reflection of how I want my remaining days to be. Maybe I have only a few good years left and I sure as hell want to make the best of it!

I have to admit that this site isn't for everyone and only those who had some similarity of experience might be able to comprehend the complexities my life has entangled itself upon. It is my hope regardless, that those who do find this blog interesting, may have a few takeaways as this is an honest outpouring of my soul albeit, incognito (as I no longer wish to be found in cyberspace).

Just as my old blog was a juxtaposition of both the real and the imagined, I leave it up to the reader to decide which part lies in reality and which part lay only in the deepest recesses of my fantastic mind.

It is also my hope that someday, whatever I compile into this collection will become a tangible tome which will affirm my faith in all matters 'old school'. So, hunker down and hunch over the computer screen or your mobile phones, wherever you are. I hope you will enjoy my stories in as much as I enjoyed reminiscing and putting them down into written form.
