My name is RJ
I am an independent-thinking, pretty creative guy who is deaf and has had some unique views and challenges in life. They say that adversity builds character; if that’s true, I must have a lot of character!
I am passionate about many things in my life. Writing, sharing my life’s experiences, and particularly blogging are included on the list. I blog about what gets me up in the morning and what excites me.
Like all of us, I am a person who is composed of all my life experiences, and that is what I am about here at RJsCorner. Check out the menu above each blog post to see all the topics I cover.
RJ's Corner 
No, you’re not alone in your state of ongoing curiosity and thirst for the new and interesting. Between fifth grade and my sophomore year in high school, I read four books that each shifted my paradigm in different ways. First was ‘Plenty-Coups, Chief of the Crows’. His visions of the future (from his vision quest) showed me that there could be a way to prepare oneself to experience an expanded view of time and space. Second was ‘Rats, Life, and History’. This book showed me that history was shaped by far more than kings and generals and, just because something was written in a history textbook, it wasn’t necessarily so. Then I read ‘Black like Me’. That shaped my views on race and bigotry. Lastly, ‘The Diary of Anne Frank” made me examine the political/social climate that could turn people into unfeeling groups of mob-think and, more personally, question whether the courage of my convictions or personal survival would be foremost in my response to this kind of situation.
I’ve found that my life has been a quest for knowledge and skills. A search for new dragons to slay?
