Accidental Flirtation Triggers Gay Identity Crisis

rswfire experiences what he calls an "existential crisis of the gay variety" after accidentally flirting with a male gate attendant at a coastal park. He distributes rubber ducks to Jeep owners in the morning, then hikes to his favorite ocean overlook spot to process the encounter. **The previous day's interaction:** He approached the gate attendant with typical transactional nervousness, blurting out camping logistics, but found himself telling the man "you seem awesome" and asking his name.

Programming Career History and Ocean Connection

rswfire records a video introduction from his RV at an off-grid Oregon coast campground, powered by his Jeep through jumper cables. He walks through his programming history chronologically, starting from sixth grade when he began coding on his father's computer and created batch tools for bulletin board systems. By eighth grade, he was making programs for teachers, including 'Name My Note' for his band teacher. In tenth grade, without a computer, he programmed entirely on paper and created DNET Wizard Matrix Server, an early content management system. **At 18, he became a freelancer on guru.com**, reaching the top 10 in programming despite being the only individual among teams, earning over $72,000 with 40+ positive reviews. He then worked for World Media Group for 10 years as an independent contractor, starting with popstar.com - an entertainment platform with celebrity profiles, writer revenue-sharing, gamified user points, and auction systems. When that vertical struggled, he pivoted to travel platforms using domains like usa.com and world.com, creating price comparison tools and automated SEM campaigns generating over $100,000 monthly until Google entered the market and killed their business. **He then worked on music industry projects** - arenomusic.com streaming service and soundblock.com distribution platform with blockchain integration and smart contracts for royalty distribution. He managed dozens of programmers over a decade but found most inadequate, constantly breaking systems when making changes. This led to burnout and his decision to move into the RV. **During the video, he walks from his RV to a lagoon, then to the Oregon coast dunes and ocean**. He emphasizes his connection to the ocean as his mirror, describing it as the greatest force on Earth that shapes weather and atmosphere globally. He states he will never leave the Oregon coast.
