About me: A Former Manchild who learned to stop being a bad person and grew the heck up.

My friends call me Greggles,

I'm about to turn 30 and I believe I've made some keen observations about emotional intelligence. After dragging on through soul crushing dread and lonliness I've finally managed to stop taking everything so personally. I've learned to laugh at myself every once and a while. Introspection and Self-Awareness were the two biggest tools in my arsenal to get out of the depression I was in, and I'm finally able to date women effortlessly.

I don't just plan to cover emotions and dating. I also plan to cover other topics of interest such as Linux, psychology, philosophy (With an emphasis on existentialism), Multi-tasking, Interracial dating, work ethics, appreciating porn and women's freetime, dating heavier women, sympathy and empathy.

Music is one of my greatest joys in life. I plan on covering topics such as:
Dirge for the Human Condition - Swans and Gazelle Twin
The Mothers of the World - Bjork and iamwhoiamwhoami
Eccentric Psychedelic Madness - The Legendary Pink Dots and Skinny Puppy
Approaching the Unapproachable - Industrial Music
Listening to the Unlistenable - Noise : Wolf Eyes and Merzbow
Occult Musical Homage - Psychic TV

I'm saying nothing new here folks. I'm taking many lessons from the Ancient Greeks and simply remixing them for today's Millennial audience. I believe we're all good people deep down. But sometimes we have to take the time to spell out to people just how to be a good person. I used to scoff at the 10 Commandments because it seemed so stupid obvious to me. But I never considered the strong upbringing I had with my parents involvement in my childhood. Back in ancient times literacy was hard to come by. But preserve it they must, even if they have to sprain their limbs chiseling it into stone tablets. The lesson at the end of the day here is to never ever take the things you have in life for granted. They could go out in the blink of an eye, and your life is completely ruined... If you aren't prepared for it.

I fully expect criticism dismissing me as some armchair psychologist. And while that may be fair, I ask you roll with me on this. I have ideas about how the mind, the subconscious and the id and ego all work together, but I need the research and metrics to test my ideas. Like any good scientist I hope to falsify or validate my own findings.
What I hope to accomplish here is to offer analogies, fables, interviews and my own personal testimony as tools for learning your own unique life lessons about dealing with your very own emotions. That is the key to living a happy and satisfying life.

I’ll never fix your emotional baggage, that is a fool’s errand. Instead I hope you’ll find the courage to open up and allow others to participate in a discussion. Nobody deserves to suffer alone, we truly are all in this together.

Friends I cannot wait to publish my first batch of videos. This is going to be fun! :)
