The Prelude
I love life. So much.
I live each day to try and be fuller than I was the day before.
In my heart, I live to be a father, a writer, an entrepreneur, an artist, a software architect, an athlete, a film producer, a civic minded citizen, a technologist, a new media maven, a traveler, a healer and a steward of the Earth. I do these all with varying degrees of success, but I really love to do and be all these things, and I think one day I’ll figure out how to be all that I want to be in all of them.
I’m an owner of a couple of companies:

I’ve got a few more in the oven now. Yeah, I’m serial wit’ it.
I’m working on a band, and on learning how to be a photographer with my best friend’s Canon Digital Rebel XTi EOS 400D. I have profiles on lots of social networks, and I am ‘marcuswhitney’ on just about all of them.
I’m committed to doing a better job of blogging because of Gnomedex 8.0. I’m deeply driven by Egyptian Mythology, hence the theme of my blog. You’ll see Egypt on my body art, in my home, and just about everywhere I stay since I feel empowered when I am around it. The seal above my name represents the 115th name of Osiris: “Haru Djehuty (Horus Thoth)”. From the book “Egyptian Cosmology” by Moustafa Gadalla comes the following quote about this name:
Both Heru and Tehuti are shown in numerous illustrations in the Ancient Egyptian temples, performing the symbolic Uniting of the Two Lands.
Heru personifies conscience, mind, intellect, and is identified with the heart. Tehuti personifies manifestation and deliverance, and is identified with the tongue.
One thinks with the heart, and acts with the tongue.
These two complimentary requirements were described on the Shabaka Stele (716-701 BCE):
