Ever wonder what you're meant to be doing? Why you have a pulse? Where it is all heading? You can wonder, but don't let it ruin your days. Live today, not tomorrow or yesterday.

I do many things. I have a career path as a network engineer. I know more about computers then I care to admit. I race motorcycles, build motorcycles and cars, and so on. All I really like to do is ride my bicycle and not have a phone in my pocket. Think that will ever happen? Ya, neither do I but a guy can have a dream and wake up with his head in the toilet once a year, right?




I really do have a job as a network engineer and for some reason I feel that it is burning a hole in my soul. Something inside me (soul) tells my mind that I am not doing what I was put here to do, but that is for a different page.  I work for an amazing company and life is better, but it does not help the core fact that I should be doing something else.  Maybe I can find the balance between career and life. I think this is the way to go but I will let you know how it works out.




In the meantime I work too hard, feel like shit constantly, run from friends and responsibility.




I have become a believer in that '''if something is meant to happen in your life it will'''. How long do you think one should sit around and wait for said change before
one gets off his/her lazy ass and makes changes happen?  I don't know what kind of changes, take a guess.  Job, location, habits, traits, friends, food, culture so on. Get the point skippy?




I know, I know, there are many things wrong with me. //db

Welcome to db.ibenson.com which is home to the documentation of work I have done on bikes, cars, motorcycles, and a whole lot more. Much of this site was made in 2010–2011, and I revived it in 2024 because I had so much information stored here; much of it was at risk of being forgotten. When this site was first created, I owned a shop in Newport, RI, where I lived and worked. Fifteen years later, articles from long ago should be viewed as written by a crazy person with a lot of energy and drive to innovate and create. Fast forward to today: I am still much the same person, but I am split among many competing priorities, with my family winning no matter what.


Outside of my professional career, I have jumped between bicycles, motorcycles, and cars to keep me happy in a different way.
