| Wrangell St. Elias NP, East Central Alaska |
|  | INTRO: You've managed to stumble upon the pages of ClarkRB. I don't know how you got here. Perhaps it was fate. Either way, I hope you enjoy your stay and find my work both humorous and educational at the same time. I don't read my emails often, and I always close that STUPID notice console, but comments on pages are seen and appreciated. |
| Kluane National Park, Yukon Territory Canada |
| | WHAT TO EXPECT: I personally like to show an area from a different angle. I like making pages on places no pages have been made about. I'm not here to tell you how wonderful Paris is; we all know that already, and those pages are boring as hell. What about those lesser known spots, or those places that suck? Everybody knows bad news is more interesting than good news. |
| Mosque - Adana Ili Turkey |
| | MY TRAVELS: I'm a bit different from your average VT member. I've lived in 4 different countries. I travel to dangerous or less desireable places to get the scoop. Oh, I'll still go to those "must see" places, but they will never be the places I choose to focus on. I prefer to highlight those areas people don't know about that they wished they did, or thank goodness they've never been. |
| Me in Chuchon, Kangwondo South Korea |
| | RATINGS: Its too bad so many people get caught up in this aspect. VT is neat, but its ruined some people, and has left some great writers in the dark, unable to get discovered. Some members now travel to make tips, and bombard this website with weak information. Its overkill. So, to the new members, I say just enjoy VT. Don't get caught up in the ratings game. This website is more fun if you share what you know, instead of pushing for a top 5 slot. If you look at my work, I thank you and I'll look at yours. But it will be a page of my choice, not one you recommend. |
| Traditional Tipica dancers - Penonome Panama |
| | PHOTOS: All photos taken on my pages are from myself or Katey unless otherwise stated. Other web pages will use your photos and even quote you from time to time. Wikipedia linked my Trona California page, and used a photo of mine for their article on "juicy bars." In other words, your pictures are no longer your pictures. Stop pretending you own a copyright. If you did, why the hell are you on a free web site in the first place? |
| Me at GroBglockner, Austria |
| | CONTROVERSY: Yeah, I admit I make people mad. Its not because I'm a mean person; I'm nice most of the time. Its more because people cannot handle the truth. One bad thing said about their hometown, and they take offense. So sad. The other is the page I've made on Iraq. People who have never been there feel the need to tell me how it is there. The only opinions I will even entertain will be from those who have been there. Otherwise your opinion is moot. |
| Charleston, South Carolina USA |
| | ENJOY!: I really do hope you enjoy your stay. Please enjoy seeing the world according to me. Its a weird world, but we are all weird people. So lets just have fun with it shall we? Be good, but tell the truth. If a place sucks, say it without fear of what others may think. |
