Why do I exist and is there any inherent purpose to these days and nights? Many people believe in an all-knowing, all-powerful God. We must follow His teachings and live our lives in accordance with Christ&amp;#8217;s principles. If I believe in one discipline, it&amp;#8217;s you&amp;#8217;ve gotta be kind. Why do I need some mythological father figure to guide me in the right direction? Presupposing there is any such notion as a single correct path. Science theorizes there are multiple dimensions. Who&amp;#8217;s to dictate path A is any more correct than path B? So long as path A is not harming anyone (including oneself) and maximizing all virtues, this path is suitable and good. Often I sit and meditate on the world around me. I find the abundance of stimuli to be overwhelming at times. In these occasions I find it helps to just close my eyes and relieve any anxieties or self-conscious thoughts by blocking out the world from my senses. Music is my religion, music the great uniter of the masses. It has been around since the Dawn of civilization and even before. Music will never die as long as there are people to create it. In the darkness, music brings light. So frequently in my life, I use music to the exclusion of everything else. Having friends is incredibly important to me, although the majority of the time I find myself alone in the middle of these four walls. The only thing separating me from the outside world is an inch of glass, windowpane. Environment is where my signals come from. Nature calls to me, the wind blows my body in some direction. I know not where I&amp;#8217;m going to, often aimless and lost. All I have is a dream to one day reach where I&amp;#8217;m going to. That place is Austin, TX.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Why Austin? Why not. I&amp;#8217;ve been there on two separate occasions. I fell in love the first time and all over again the second. A primary reason is that my mother and brother live close to Austin, in Plano. Austin is also the Live music capital of the country. It&amp;#8217;s Silicon Hills, which means a plethora of tech jobs and SXSW is a yearly event. It combines music, film and training, entrepreneur skills, etc. into one week-long extravaganza. Austin City Limits is yet another attraction, Live music public service, interviews, photography. The only hurdle standing in my way to happiness and success is college graduation. I know I&amp;#8217;m meant for something greater than what I&amp;#8217;m doing and living right now. I can see the Sun rising on the horizon. I want to reach out and grab it, but I know I&amp;#8217;ll get burned. After five years plus community college, my graduation into the real world of success and plenty is just a stone&amp;#8217;s throw away; palpable. I know I can use my skills in a way that is both valuable and rewarding. However, I must continually inquire of myself, search deep within my soul, what the key to happiness is. I know for a fact it is not monetary wealth and although it would be helpful and all, it will never be my ultimate goal in this life. I want to do something humanitarian. My thoughts again and again return to alternative, renewable energy. We live on this beautiful blue sphere floating in space, we are the only civilized life in the known galaxy and yet we are destroying the very source of life, Mother Earth. Why can&amp;#8217;t we use our neighboring star, the huge gas giant we call &amp;#8220;the Sun&amp;#8221; to sustain our livelihood on this Earth? We have the technology, we just need to make a change in policy and start using it, transition to solar cells, phase out dirty coal and nuclear power. The Sun produces a gazillion Terrawatts of power every day! We only need a tiny fraction to survive and live well. How about we reshift our emphasis in &amp;#8220;Which celebrity is dating who?&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;Have you heard the new Justin Bieber single?&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;Did you see the Buckeyes game last night?&amp;#8221;, all these trivial pursuits that don&amp;#8217;t amount to shit in the grand scheme of things, mental masturbation, to &amp;#8220;What have you done improve the wellbeing of people and, by extension, the planet today?&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;Did you have an original idea?&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;Did you help your fellow man or woman today?&amp;#8221;, &amp;#8220;Did you sit around thinking?&amp;#8221; We need a radical shift in our priorities. The media is keeping us sedated with dumb, useless nonsense and we&amp;#8217;re too blinded by all the propaganda to see we&amp;#8217;re just pawns on the chessboard. Sooner or later there&amp;#8217;s gonna be a checkmate and hopefully it will be our side, the winning side, the side that helps the commoner, the lover and the fighter, but he fights for what is just and proper. He&amp;#8217;s not concerned with who caused the problem, only how to fix it! The people, united, will never be divided! Let it ring loud and true throughout the land!&lt;/p&gt;

After a year, my family packed up and moved to Poughkeepsie; a dingy little city in Southern New York. My dad was an Electrical Engineer for IBM but real estate was so expensive we were forced to live in a mobile home park. After a few years of this, we all moved to a little town called Fuquay Varina. Seems we could never live in a town with a halfway normal name. I mean, why not Raleigh? No, Fuquay Varina. Now there was an addition to the family, my little brother Greg. My dad relocated to IBM in North Carolina. School was always just a chore. I&amp;#8217;ve had my fair share of abuse, bullies and shit. Joined Tae Kwon Do somewhere along the line, I was about three-quarters of the way to Black Belt. I&amp;#8217;ve never been a stellar student. Never much cared for the material or the teachers who crammed knowledge piecemeal down our throats. Study this, do that, don&amp;#8217;t do that. Whatever. After six years, my dad relocated to yet another job, this time working for Texas Instruments, in (drum roll, please)… Texas. Here I progressed from middle school through a sophomore in High School. This school was gargantuan (I always want to use that word, just never have the opportunity), over 5000 students. Walking in the hallways was a quite the hassle, just wall to wall people. African Americans were a rare commodity. I don&amp;#8217;t recall having any black friends. Finally, coming back around full circle, we moved back to Michigan, where I have remained for roughly eight years and now desperately want to leave. Get the hell out of Dodge! I graduate in May, it&amp;#8217;s so close it&amp;#8217;s palpable. I&amp;#8217;ll finally have that little piece of paper certifying me as a Computer Science major. I&amp;#8217;ve always been sort of a loner, I can handle people just fine… but in small doses. I&amp;#8217;ve always considered myself a leader rebel type, or at least in my formative years. I lived in the student co-ops for awhile, Phoenix for a year until I got sick of it and moved to Orion until I was eventually kicked out by a house full of caddy bitc&amp;#8212;- women. Now I&amp;#8217;m living in a much nicer place with three roommates I don&amp;#8217;t get along with all that well. Seems to be a recurring trend… Let&amp;#8217;s face it, I&amp;#8217;m not cut from the same cloth. At least, in the United States we live in a Melting Pot, so much variety of people. I&amp;#8217;ve loved music all my life. Actually, that&amp;#8217;s a lie. I didn&amp;#8217;t start really enjoying music until around age 18. Back then all I used to listen to was the radio. Now it consumes my heart and soul. I&amp;#8217;ve been playing electric/acoustic guitar for a few years and I like to think I&amp;#8217;m good all things considered. I play obsessively in my free time. Might be one of the reasons my roommates give me the cold shoulder… I also write poetry which could be made into songs. I keep telling myself I&amp;#8217;ll be happy to leave this Matrix we call college, but at the same time, it scares me to death. Ok, maybe that&amp;#8217;s a bit hyperbole, but I&amp;#8217;m living a cooshy life right now. Pretty much all my expenses are paid for and I&amp;#8217;m still so damn bored. At least I know exactly where I want to live after graduation. Austin, TX. Live Music Capital of the Country! I love it there! It&amp;#8217;s got everything going for it, ideal place to set up shop. I also have ambitions to create my own startup once I enter the Real World. The way I see it it has to be something renewable energy. Solar power. If I were to say harnessing the power of the Sun I&amp;#8217;d probably sound off my rocker, but essentially… yeah. Let&amp;#8217;s face the facts, we&amp;#8217;d all be dead without the Sun and it&amp;#8217;s also important to me for other reasons I won&amp;#8217;t get into right now. FYI: Don&amp;#8217;t try LSD alone at a music festival, multiple times, unless you want to enter the world of the living Dead! But moving right along, stay positive. Recently, I got a job doing climate change research on campus. It&amp;#8217;s related to my major, unfortunately/fortunately, so basically I&amp;#8217;m analyzing data files for various sites of corn production in the Midwest. Think ethanol. But I always ask myself, don&amp;#8217;t people need that corn to eat!? After watching Carbon Nation, algae seems the most logical approach. Thousands of barrels of oil from some green, slimy shit… Seems like a no-brainer to me. The job doesn&amp;#8217;t sound terribly interesting (what else is new) but if everything goes well, I will be published in a reputable academic journal, which would be damn cool and look mighty impressive on a resume. So all this leads back to the question, what brought me to Beyond Coal? I&amp;#8217;m not entirely sure how to answer that question. My good friend Tobias aka Emran, was certainly instrumental. Also, living in co-ops introduced me to a lot of pretty enlightened people. Beyond Coal and PowerShift have undoubtedly been the most transformational events in my entire 5-year college career! Just like some of you, I was never an environmentalist before attending PowerShift 2010. Didn&amp;#8217;t care one titty-twister about coal. Looking back, I should have had my head examined. Maybe I still do, but I&amp;#8217;m much better off having met all of you and being involved in something greater than myself, and that&amp;#8217;s really what it&amp;#8217;s all about. Life is about connections, who you know. You could be dumber than a box of rocks, but if you know the right people, you might just make something out of yourself. And that&amp;#8217;s exactly what I hope to do.
