Hey, I'm Alex. Well, onto the next chapter we go...or not?

I'm a 40 years old kid, trying to understand how stuff works. I started long time ago, dissecting my toys and then continued to do so, just using bigger tools and more expensive toys.

I designed chemical plants, fire fighting systems and more, working as a Risk Analyst for environmental hazard, as well as designing and enhancing physical models for calculating impacts after major chemical leaks, explosions and such. Then I twisted my life and started working in IT, as an IT Architect. Once again, even bigger tools and even more expensive toys.

This is even boring to write, I imagine how boring would be to read, so let's move on.

Why I am here

As many of you may have experienced, sometimes life gets pretty hectic and chaotic, requiring you to lazo a thought in the middle of the vortex and put it on a page, black on white. This is the exact reason I'm here, trying to write stuff and talk about (mostly boring) stuff. And if you're wondering why “Here be (boring) dragons)”, the reason is quite simple: in maps all uncharted areas reported the phrase “Hic sunt dracones”, literally “Here be dragons”, to summarize that that area would have been dangerous, because unexplored. And what better way to do it than making your mind runs to a mythological creature to cause you to fear and cower in face of the unknown?

Well, living my life as an adult is pretty much all uncharted areas. I hadn't a dad for the major part of my life and I hadn't a great relationship with my mother. I'm in unexplored territories and don't know where to go. Some of you may sympathize with this statement, others may feel in the same situation. I'm no special by any means, and that's why on my map the adulting territory is marked with “Here be (boring) dragons”

If you read until here and managed to not yawn, congratulations. You may be as well in the same uncharted area.

The journey into the adult life is basically moving on uncharted areas of the map. And there, there be dragons.
