MAYJOR Johnson, the ManEven though I have many different dimensions within myself, including past lives as a custodian, a website assistant for a company, a restaurant cook, a custodian, an IT assistant, a security officer, and an avid gamer, I consider myself an artist above all else. My identity comes from me being a vampire of the imaginative realm: If I don't feed from it, I die. I also identify as a Protestant Christian, a proud African American man, and a lover of gaming and anime. My greatest influences belong to God, who set the foundation for the work I try to live by, my Mom, who has always been in my corner despite my immaturity, my Father, who's hard work ethic and refusal to dance to anyone else's beat but his own inspire me, and to my sister, for who I wouldn't be a writer today if not for her example.

Purpose of the Tower |
I believe the art we devour and create determines our identity. Through the things we create, we spread our lifeforce with ranges further than our voices can carry. We transcend time, space, distance, and spread our knowledge to enrich others in the same manner a puzzle or a complex text expands the mind. Simply put, my tower, The Falcon Tower, exists to spread my wisdom further than my corporal form can travel. It exists to enrich my existence, as well as yours.

Why Falcons? |
Why was the falcon chosen as the mascot for this site? I just love birds. Next to dinosaurs, birds always filled me with such wonder. Unlike us, they're not naturally bound by the laws of gravity. They need no ingenuity to reach the top of a building or to travel across the ocean; their only limit is the strength of their wings. And then there is the falcon, the peregrine falcon to be specific, which can exceed speeds of over 200 mph when stooping for prey. When this bird sets its sight on an objective, it easily becomes the fastest animal on the planet to capture it. For these reasons, the falcon ignites the dreamer in me, making it the perfect candidate for this website's mascot.
