Introducing: Crazy Dave!

Thanks for asking about my special interests. I'm passionate about natural bio-energy/Chi/Prana. I perceive the energies & auras of people, plants, animals, and minerals. My passions (Reiki, T'ai chi, & Zen sitting meditation) are all energy arts, where Chi/Prana is channeled. :)

If you enjoy Cold War history, you might recognize the dog in my avatar as being a product of the Cold War era. The former Czech Border Patrol used three breeding stations to tweak the German Shepherd breed into a pushy, bold, resilient, good-natured bloodline to work the border of those Eastern Block countries. Love that history. Grimm greets you! :) He's the love of my life.

I have many items such coins & paper money as well as stamps from the former Soviet Union, Eastern bloc nations and many other Socialist nations that were trying to achieve Communism. I also have a small piece of the Berlin wall. I have Polish/Lithuanian/(Possibly Russian?)/German and English roots in me also.

Actually (now that I think of it), this one IS modeled on a general arthropod form:

Very cool! I collect coins also, mostly American nickels, and have a piece of the Berlin Wall.
Also own some Polish stamps, and a small American stamp collection.

I love world history, geography & politics. (Russian history is one of my favorite subjects.) I'm full of random facts and useless information. I am starting to read works of H.P. Lovecraft, (Call of Cthulhu), I really enjoy Military history, especially WWII, and the Cold War.

Count me in. :cool:
I'm obsessed with the Germany part, it's interesting for me to figure out how the history was distorted due to some damn political reason.

Same here for Russia under Stalin. I really like Vladimir Lenin. Marx & Engels laid the "egg" of Socialism, Lenin incubated it, and unfortunately, Stalin broke it open, cooked it and ate it... Yeah, Stalin was a jerk. (Just ask Leon Trotsky.) By the way, I'm not too sure if your name is Lena or not, but Vladimir Ulyanov (aka Lenin) took the alias "Lenin" possibly from the Lena river in Russia, according to many historians.
 
Crazy Dave, you sound like a very interesting person! So glad you decided to join us.

We have lots of iridescent beetles here in Virginia which I love to see. But my favorite local species is Dynastes tityus, I love its coloration and its size. I have also held the type specimen of Goliathus goliatus, dated 1770--that was as near as I have gotten to a religious experience!

History is another of my obsessions. I could work out a list of preferred periods / events but it would be easy to get carried away! The first voyage of James Cook (Endeavour) is one. Strangely, I never retained much enthusiasm for the second or third voyages :) I work as an archaeologist sometimes. If you are into numismatics you would be quite useful on a dig site, everyone loves finding coins but not everyone knows much about them! I have a few treasured coins, one is very thin silver, pierced, and reads "one schilling Hambvrg covrant 1778". Or maybe 1773, it is hard to read. I got dissuaded from collecting coins at an early age though, because the man who ran the coin shop where I grew up didn't want to answer my questions, he was angry that I came into his shop unattended by an adult and he thought I would steal from him...
