About the speaker
"Generalist, specialist, multi-disciplinarian, child at heart, focused, highly-skilled , flexible, synergistic, daydreamer, adaptable, renaissance type".
Nonsense.
I’ve always harbored an inner desire to understand and experience darn near everything - the “grown-up gets to live out the childhood ultimate field trip fantasy” thing; But I grew up, (sort of) and realized even the most insomniac-ridden among us only gets the same 24 hours. Lord knows, I am truly grateful for this life; I’d be an idiot and a jerk if I wasn’t. But what I have come to appreciate about my slightly scattered mind is a need to explore the omnipresent connections “between” things.
I am the metaphor king, or so I’m told.
Feels a little like putting on a coat only Wes Anderson could love, and everyone you know says, “it fits nicely Michael, go with it”.
(They also tell me to not to talk so much).
Slim chance.
As a native of Utah, the “Beehive state” is a wonderful place to practice advertising photography, skiing, outdoor sports, child rearing, adult rearing, film making, and keen observation - not kidding about that.
Really, I’ll shut up now.
