Hello and thank you for allowing me to be a member of the forum. My intentions here are to learn and to get advice on several of my projects. Hopefully by the 4th quarter of 2004 or early 2005 I will be lauching Right Now. Right Now is an idea which will change the world forever. It's intentions are to connect the world and "eliminate" cultural barriers. A simple motto of mine is Anybody, Everbody / Anything, Everything. Meaning we're all equal and each of us can do whatever the "other" is doing. Right Now will show people thier true potential and thus show what humanity can really be. That's all I can let out for now.
Where does SimplyDiscus.com fit in? Well about 10 years ago I saw a special on the Discovery Channel called "The Golden River". It was a documentary on the Rio Negro. The golden part of the title reffered to the abundance of life this river supports. Anyways, I instantly fell in love with it's coffee colored water and amazing wildlife. Since then the Rio Negro has become very dear to me.
Now, thanks to Right Now, I can make my dream a reality. Within the next year or so I'll be building a house and as it's centerpiece; my own little Rio Negro. I plan to build the house around a large courtyard. Within the courtyard will be a fully sustained rainforest. Well except for the rain part which will be simulated. There will be a blackwater pond feed by a small network of blackwater forest streams. I want to keep many types of fauna here as well. Fishes from Pirarucu to the smallest characin. Reptiles including Mata Mata turtles, tree boas, various lizards and possibly a couple dwarf caiman. Amphibs such as Pipa toads, Dendrobatid arrow frogs and various tree frogs. Mammals including Aguti, Acuti and sloths. Finally several birds such as Ibis, Kingfishers and Hummingbirds. Of course beautiful flora will be there to compliment as well. Bromiliads, carnivourus plants, various trees and water plants. Some of you may be thinking, "oh the poor Discus might wind up as caiman food". Well those are the consequences nature is full of. Don't worry though, there'll be no "prize" fish kept this way.
Well as the months go by this project will get closer and I'm hoping for lots of help from the forum. Please feel free to make any comments or suggestions as you wish. Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I'm looking forward to becoming a respected member of this community!
