About Me

Heya. I'm Vadim. I went to John Bowne highschool and graduated by the straw in 1998. After that I went to NYCTC of CUNY but never really did finish my major, due to massive computer market collapse.
After few various jobs later, I graduated with high honors from Allied Institute of Medical Proffesions as MRI Tech. Hey, I got 3.76 GPA :P Compared to my highschool GPA...well that one was actually in negative numbers. :P
Been interested in computer security for a while, had a big chance, but missed it. Still banging my head on the wall for that regretful decision. Well, its life..
I am pretty much interested in everything science, but advanced computer stuff no longer holds my attention.
I draw, few pics done proffesionaly, mostly amateur stuff. My interests include: Astronomy, Geology, Paleontology, Physics, Biology, Medicine.
I horribly suck at math, and I mean horribly, kinda funny considering I am interested in physics.

Few short blurbs


Why do people lie and spin webs of deceipt? Truth always comes out in one big burst, sweeping all lies aside in an instant like a flash flood.
Everyone knows it, even liars themselves, yet they continue to lie hoping to get away with something they obviously won't.
And when exposed they always attempt to play the victim, also knowing full well that playing possum will work only on the most naive and dimbwitted bypassers who themselves will wise up quickly enough and see the transparency of the fascade.
Always follow your heart while listening to your mind. Take what others say into consideration, but always question their ideals and their motives.
Without questions there is only blind acceptance and blind acceptance has led to the world's greatest tragedies.
