I can't say that I am a man of many talents, but I have had interesting life experiences. One particular experience that has had a major role in my life was boot camp. Boot camp, or Basic Combat Training from the Army, put me through mental and physical stresses that people normally don’t get to experience. Having people shout at you for breathing incorrectly has an immense impact on how one perceives the world, for example. Although my mind has already started suppressing the memories of that most joyous occasion, its tempering has left traces that won’t disappear anytime
