A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…
Oh wait, that’s not me, that’s the beginning of Star Wars. Shame, it really sounded like my life. So, here’s the basic information ABOUT ME:
Born in Sydney, Australia in 1964 (no I do not remember the Beatles tour). Currently living in Kangaroo Point in Brisbane, Queensland. That’s still in Australia. Not too many kangaroos where I live, but plenty of other fauna and I’m right beside the Brisbane river.
I come from Greek and Australian parents, although I think my Mum may have thought I was adopted. Hey, every family needs a black sheep, or weirdo!
I am interested in lots of topics, for example:
Cosmology
Neuroscience
Biochemistry
Human Performance
Exercise Physiology
Ancient Mythology
Quantum Physics
Palaeontology (I’m almost old enough to study myself now!
Psychology and Behaviour
Internet Marketing
and the science of Pizza Toppings 🙂
Books are my main addiction. I read between 3 and 10 books per week, thank you Amazon Kindle 🙂
Please note, I am by no means an expert in any of these fields, but I do have a burning desire to understand why I am here, and what this (life & existence) is all about. While other kids were playing football and cricket I was nerding-out in the local library. No Google in my early days – not even a personal computer.
Another reason for my studies came about because of my two earliest memories, depression and insomnia. Tried all sorts of techniques to remedy those issues and here I am today in my 50’s still experiencing depression and insomnia. I’ve stopped beating myself up about these conditions and have accepted them as part of my personal package. I am much happier when I’m being less self-judgemental.
Friends often ask me for advice on health, fitness and personal issues and I love to share information. So here I am on the interweb. I’ll be posting all sorts of topics to do with self improvement and becoming a better person. Categories may include, physical health, nutrition, exercise, psychological and mental health and the occasional weird science tip.
