I'm another new member poking around on a visit from TU.  A little about myself --

I'm 46 years old, the father of a fifteen-year-old boy, and  a business manager by profession.  I'm a musician who's played semi-pro, and a writer by hobby trying to sell a couple of pieces.

I was born in Dallas, Texas.  I spent four years of my childhood in Iran under the regime of the Shah, and when the Revolution overthrew him, my family settled in California.  I'm an Air Force veteran of Desert Storm, and I've recently returned to my home state.  I currently live outside Austin.

I've been an atheist for three decades, and active in online freethought sites since the AOL days, where I was a regular in their "Evolution is a Fact" and "God is a Myth" chats.  Anyone here from those days might know me as Thump, because I've been using this name since forever, but I was first online as "DiggingWes".

Greetings. Always glad to see atheists from Texas. Need some sanity down that way.

Hiya Wolf.

Here in Austin, Strom, there's a healthy enclave of freethinkers.  It's still more religious than SoCal, where I lived the last two decades prior to moving here in August.

I thumped a lumpicus yesterday
Lots of fun, I must say
It don't matter if you're straight or Gay
Just grab your lumpicus and thump away

Lumpicus come in sizes galore
One is not enough? Buy some more!
A variety of colors too
oh goodness me! What shall I do?

Oh my lumpicus I need you so
Fedex it here thru ice and snow
I'll use that lumpicus like a boss
Till I'm satisfied, then give it a toss

You can prod and push and poke
just anything, and that's no joke!
and at the end, i have to say
lumpicus are here to stay!

Lumpicus: an item difficult to describe that has multiple uses. I am so pleased with myself right now.

I am currently experiencing life at several WTFs per hour.

No sweat, bub, it's you and seven thousand three hundred and sixty-one others.  In like manner, I bet you get called "Dunk", and it's all good.

You play the bass don't you?

That's my second instrument.  I'm primarily a guitarist.  But my last paying gig was bass in a band called "Blues Bullet" out of Ventura CA.  I'm a simple bassist, play with my fingers (NO PICKS!), can't slap or thump all that well, but I know my theory and can craft a cool melodic bassline that is not "ah shit, the guitarist is playing bass" kinda stuff.

I've got some old demos (recorded in the 90s, on analog tape 4-track, yikes) on my Soundcloud page.  I played all of the instruments on all but one of those songs.
