A lot of people think of a big guy is just for physical labor, not smart or do delicate things like art.Β
I tell someone I am an artist, and they laugh. Then they say you and millions of others are just wanna be artist. I say, "I don't want to be, I just am."
A few days later someone shows them my art, and they tell me they are sorry for the comment. I just say, "What people want to think is up to them, because I have nothing to prove to anyone."
I am 6 feet 1 inch, or 1.85 meters, and 250 pounds, or 113 kilograms.
I had big legs from ridding a bike everyday from age 17 to 25. They are smaller now. I did my best to stay in shape, because doing art was not healthy. I answered the phone painted signs and oil painting while laying in bed, so I could see I was getting very out of shape, and did a lot of other things.

hey arch, is there anything i can do for you?

Not really. I have benn taking it easy, and applying for jobs I don't get. It always the same old thing.Β
I was working on a website and thinking about changing how the recipes are setup. Normally people just read the recipe and follow it. I did that much and I included the nutrition facts. I have a setup that I used once that can select the ingredients and enter the amount, like 3 cups of flour. You select the flour and put in how much, and when you have all the ingredients and amounts, it greats the recipe with the nutrition facts. Right now I am using nutrition facts I total up, and I think it would be good to make it divide into servings by what people get. Like you bake a cake and the nutrition facts says the cake in cut into 12 slices. I am going to change that so people can say how many slices they get, so the nutrition facts can show how much is in one slice.Β
Then I am going to get the ingredients setup again to list each all the ingredients I have, so people can find what they need to setup a recipe and get the nutrition facts.Β
I deleted what I had, because I wanted to have options like to use teaspoon or cups, and by selecting one the program calculates the amount for teaspoons or cups. Every ingredient is set up for tablespoons, so when it is broken down to teaspoons it divides by 3, because there are 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon, and a cup has 16 tablespoons, so it will multiply the amount by 16 to show cups.
All this might sound complicated, and I am doing all this programming, I just like to get feed back on what I have and if my idea of making the recipe adjustable, like using a substitute, and the nutrition facts recalculate to show the changes, or if someone sees 3 cups of sugar and thinks 2 cups is sweet enough, then the calories, and sugar drops to show that change. It is just something I am working on to improve my programming skills, and use what I can do as an example. Maybe someone can see what I can do and hire me to build them a website, or an online inventory for more than one store.Β
I know some registers can change the inventory, like when people buy a shop light that model of shop light is removed from inventory, and when someone wants tile, but the store don't have it the check the other stores. When I go online to see if someone has enough ceiling tile and I need 60 cartons and they have 3, then I call to get them to oder more, because it is a waste of gas to find out they don't have what I was there for. That is a problem with a lot of online stores, and what they show is not what they have, or they have more.
People like that don't hire me to fix it, like they don't care. So, I need to show examples of how things can work with many different things I create.Β
I have DVD movies listed of every thing I have, and I have digital movies and tv shows, and it includes actors information and movie information and I have a theater to show some example movies. With TV shows like Agent Carter I show any episode that is in the right folder, so if the episode is there then people can watch it. Agent Carter is the only one I have online, but the page is made to show anything that is online.Β
I created a flower shop for the employee to shop for the customer, and they select or add a person and the flower arrangements they want, and then the shopping cart shows the total with tax so they can pay, and get a receipt. Then I have other website stuff like my media art and art, and 3d stuff for downloading, stories and other projects, I didn't get into, but started like making a forum.Β
I din't have a cell phone, and I built all of this for a PC. I was thinking that the reason people didn't hire me when they see my examples was because it is not for a cell phone. I worked on the recipes so it can work with a smart phone. My cell phone don't show the background and I need to zoom in to do anything, but I think the recipe area works good for a cell phone.Β
I have themes so people can chose how they want it to look when they visit, and it changes and stays that way when they look around the website. I created a file manager so people can upload files to the website, but I don't let anyone see more than a picture of it, because it can delete and mess up my website is anyone can change things, so the only ones that can see it needs to login and have administration rights.
So, I did a lot of building to this website, and I like to get a comment on what you think.

I learn how to do everything on my own, from fixing electronics, building cars, houses, and computers. I even repair the main board on computers.Β
I learned how to do programming because I wanted to use my art on everything I saw on the computer, and learned the script for websites from right clicking and select View Source. I learned CSS from MS Front Page script. I learn Javascript from things in the Javascript Bible. I learned Java from college, and learned how to start building my own php database websites and where to learn more. At one time I turned my computer into a website host, and ran my website for years. People hacked the computer, so I used old scrap computers I fixed, and kept fixing when hackers burned out parts and circuits.Β
I am kind of getting tired of learning more, because I don't make money at know how to do a lot, and I might need to always look for work and force to be my own business again.

It is good to keep it alive, because I came from a time before tablets could be bought for the average PC or Mac.
A lot of artist of my time have changed to a tablet, but my body causes Β magnetic interferance and touch sensitivity of off the charts. The tablet has no clue where the pen is when my magnetic force is within 6 inches of the tablet, and in 20 minutes the tablet builds up a charge that make the a large hole on the screen where the cursor can't go.Β
Sorry for typing errors but I look at the screen and find the text going in random areas because my thumb came too close to the touch pad on the lap top. I really need to turn it off.

I have what is called healers hands.
While everyone else has energy flowing through their bodies to make muscles move my energy goes outside my body and is not contained by skin, so I am sure glove can't stop it.Β
I can say that is it nice to have because while most people cause their muscles to contract from 1.5 volts, I operate close to 3 and can charge a 3 volt disk type batteries in about 20 minutes, when I put the battery under my watch, which is a battery operated watch.Β
I had to stop wearing wind up watches because they would start going backwards in 3 hours and the minute hand turned as fast as the second hand.
I replaced a lot of Ironman watches because they over charged to not show the numbers. The quartz numbers can only function at 1.5 volts and having more volts means the batteries need to run down before the number can function again.Β
I have heard of people worse than me, because people told me a few ladies could not touch a credit card because the magnetic strip get erased. That don't happen with me, but I feel some days I need more energy like getting shocked with 110 volts for a recharge or get static discharge like when you peal paper off bathroom wall sheets and a lightening bold arcs out 2 feet from the static charge.Β
I got shocked a lot when I was younger, but with ground protection that don't happen much any more.
I see a guy online with glowing hands and can fly in the air or control things with energy and magnetic power and just see him as someone like me who has taken in a lot of power. Maybe he was hit by lightening that charged him up so much and intentionally took power from power lines. All of this seems possible for peopleΒ like me, where is is very dangerous for the normal person. So it is like how normal am I. Will I die from electric or feel good as the sparks tickle me, more than kill me.
