Default Galt54 introduces himself

Hello, everybody!

I have been posting on Music Banter for roughly one week. But I have not got around to introducing myself until now.

I am a Swedish male, 59 years old and I live in an apartment with my wife in a suburb of Stockholm. My wife is my "Asian blossom". She is an immigrant to Sweden from Vietnam.

My passions in life are: pop and rock music, the philosophy called Objectivism, reading non-fiction and last but not least: the spanking fetish (I am kinky and loving it - so sue me!).

I was born in Stockholm in 1954, but I was blessed with the privilege of growing up in the U.S.A. I will be eternally grateful to my parents for their decision to move to America when I was five years old. It would have been horrible if I had been obliged to grow up in this cesspool which is the modern Swedish welfare state.

Unfortunately for me, I was sent back to Sweden by my parents when I was sixteen years old. Finding myself smack in the middle of the nihilistic Swedish culture during the height of the years of the mass-murderers/"liberators"-loving New Left´s domination of the Swedish culture made me feel so awful that almost exactly two years after my return to Sweden I was committed to a mental hospital with a dagnosis of schizophrenia. I hate Sweden - my own country! My country drove insane. So of course I loathe and despise it! The fact that I hate this country which I had the misfortune to be born in and to return to is evidence of mental health. I am rational and independent.

I recovered from my psychosis after a year and a half down in the digs. Five years after my return to reality I discovered the wonderful philosophy of reason called Objectivism. Objectivism helped me to rebuild my life and achieve happiness. I "repaid" Objectivism by becoming one of the handful of pioneers who injected Objectivism into the Swedish culture.

I am in possession of a weird combination of attributes: I am an Objectivist, I am kinky, I am a recovered psychotic, I am a factory worker and I am a member of the board of a joint stock corporation (I am on the board of a tiny company which is developing a new technology for purifying water. The reason I am on the board is that I am one of the largest stockholders in this small company.). I am probably the one and only Objectivist on the face of this earth who is also a recovered psychotic.

You probably want to know something about my relationship to pop and rock music. In order to not repeat myself I will refer you to the thread which I started in the General Music section titled "My tastes in music - my esthetics of music".
