Introduction
Here we are, its the 21st century. Life has never been more complex, yet the basic struggles of of the past millennia are as evident as ever. The struggle is personal and existential; as a planet, an individual, and a species. I’m writing this as I’m building this site so somehow I can be relevant, and get to tell my story. I don’t want to waste an incredible amount of energy and human experience I’ve been fortunate enough to be connected with. I may not get to write a book, or make the movies I want to make, but I will try to tell my story here. As of this moment the story for me started about 47 orbits ago around the closest star. I’m going to write this blog as a memoir of the journey, but in typical Stro1 fashion; I’m certain if I know anything about myself, this story is not going to be told in a linear way. I am Gonzo Stro so how this goes is likely gonna be gonzo and bounce around, it is the story of my life after all. My hope is that when content is no longer being added to my story, what has been written brings some kind of perspective, understanding of benevolent purpose and an inspiration for living life to the fullest of its potential. I invite you to come on this journey with me, hey and maybe get a t-shirt or two, maybe some other stro1 memorabilia. By the time this is posted the stro1 shop should be open.
The struggle to strive on this planet, not just as an animal but a sentient being is real, but so is the magic of being here among the cosmos and being able to reflect on it. Putting some meaning, passion and feeling into being here is a definitely a blessing. Seeing life as anything other than blessing & vitality, though it can be painful and horrific at times; is forgetting that we are at the cutting edge of life, the universe and everything! We are on a journey to make life mean something. Everyone has a story, even if it’s just a connection to a bigger story. In a way life is exactly that: the connections we make while having the opportunity to do so. I’ve made countless connections in my time on the planet. The following is cutting deeper what you might imagine my life has been on the surface, it’s my autobiography.
