For those who want to know

        Hello—my name is Justin Barr. I am a jack of all trades, but a master of none. I am an experience collector and an information junkie. I would love to call myself polymath, but I would say that word implies I might actually have an area of expertise. I guess you could call me a “Curious Dabbler?” There are so many different things that I am interested in. From nature photography and mountain biking to video games and piggy bank collecting—just to name a few. I have a deep fascination with this odd world we live in and love trying to figure out why it is the way it is.

         In my pursuit of knowledge and in an effort to make a difference on this planet—within my lifetime—I have decided to pursue higher education!!! That’s right, I am currently taking classes at my local community college in Glendale, AZ because I believe what I learn there, will one day help me to change the way we all live—for the better of course.

“The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.”― Ralph Waldo Emerson                   Not the quote I wanted, but still good.


        Now don’t call me a fool for thinking I can change the world or believing that college will help me to achieve that, heck you’ll only be telling me something I already know. I believe it was Shakespeare who wrote, "A fool thinks himself to be wise, but a wise man knows himself to be a fool.” So there! Hopefully if all goes as planned, I will eventually get a Bachelor in Biomedical Engineering, I then plan to begin work on robotic prosthetics (only phase one of my change the world plan).

        Also, I should mention that I have a cartoon mind. This is basically where my mind will play out a series of events like a comic strip. This leads to me sometimes looking at things very differently and also laughing at things more than I should. This also may be why I love this web comic called “Poorly Drawn Lines” so much (you should check if out if you get the chance).



        Well now you might be wondering, "is this blog something that I will be interested in?" It depends, are you widely curious and do you love to dabble? If so, then I think the content I plan to provide you will not disappoint. Just stay tuned and stay curious my friends!
