Some music I've enjoyed this year
This next one isn't new, but it was for me, and I have a crush on Kirsten Dunst
It's been an interesting year
Places outside of the mainland USA visited:
Realizations:
Divorcing my first wife was the right decision. I don't regret it. I only regret how it happened and that she made it impossible to be friends by betraying our friendship.
I wish I had sought help for depression much earlier in my life. Some of the mistakes I made when I was between 20 and 30 would have been avoided.
The United States of America is a complete and total failure and soon will be as poor as it was before World War I. Arrogance, a love of ignorance, narcissism, and a lack of empathy are relegating the USA to the status it deserves - third world status.
All of the bullshit I went through between 2000 and 2006 only made me stronger.
I am one of the fastest learners. I can learn anything in about 1/10 the time of most people.
You can drop me into nearly any country on Earth and I can understand a significant percentage of whatever language the local people speak. This is a consequence of having studied so many languages.
I have been an awesome father.
I have regrets, but not many. The only things I regret deeply are things that happened when I was around 20 years old and those things were fueled by untreated depression, intentional deception by a friend, ignorance, misinterpretation, and mis-education.

DNA Tests
My ex had her DNA tested for ancestry. It was very interesting. It turns out her family, in addition to being almost 50% Central American (indigenous American), is also Jewish, North African, Kenyan (Black African), Sardinia, French, Scandinavian, and Austronesian.
My daughter did a DNA test for ancestry too. In addition to the above, My daughter is Irish, Scottish, British, and Iberian. This means that I am Irish, Scottish, British, and Iberian. We knew about the Irish, Scottish, and British, but not the Iberian.
My ex's last name is Romero. Now her family knows that they are Jewish, Black, and North African, something they did not know before.

Trolls are likely to be psychopaths and sadists, study finds
This makes sense. I know Bridget is a psychopath.

I will be back soon
I forgot my password and then wandered onto other things in life. I've recovered this account and will begin posting anew soon. Since my last post, I've been to Spain, Italy, Morocco, Germany, Denmark, France, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Mexico.
