This is your typical supposed-to-be-witty blog site where I let you know all about me, my life, what I believe in, and all that jazz. Me? I’m a regular kinda guy, more “blue jeans and T-shirt” than Polo and Dockers though my new job has changed that somewhat as I haven’t had a chance to wear jeans in weeks!
I’m 44, newly-single but not looking for anything specific.
I have three feline landlords who let me stay with them (Mouse, Roux, and Katie).
I recently sold my Dodge RAM Daytona pickup to break the shackles of “the man” and get out of the hole. Thanks to The economy, two wars on separate fronts and a period of professional income reduction, I couldn’t afford to drive or keep it anyway.
I also had to get rid of my 2008 Honda Goldwing because of a nasty bout of economicus suckus mucho but thanks to the contributions of a wonderful father, I’m now riding a 2009 Kawasaki Voyager which gets me around rather nicely in my old age.
Politically, I’m equal but fair in my disdain of all politicians regardless of party affiliation.
While I’m certain there are a few truly wonderful people who choose to go into politics, as a generalization, I think the system of politics is designed to eat away at the good in the best of men, eventually equalizing them all to the lowest common denominator.
Without wishing to offend anyone reading this, I also generally feel the same way about most organized religions, having never found a single one that wasn’t operated as a business.
Rufus: He still digs humanity, but it bothers Him to see the [bleep] that gets carried out in His name – wars, bigotry, televangelism. But especially the factioning of all the religions. He said humanity took a good idea and, like always, built a belief structure on it.
Bethany: Having beliefs isn’t good?
Rufus: I think it’s better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier. Life should malleable and progressive; working from idea to idea permits that. Beliefs anchor you to certain points and limit growth; new ideas can’t generate. Life becomes stagnant.
– Movie Quote: Dogma, 1999
Philosophically, I’m a “leave-me-alone” kinda guy. It’s not that I’m introverted. I’m not. I love interacting with other people. I just think the America I grew up in has gone insane with political correctness and the freedom we once enjoyed no longer applies.
No one has the right not to be offended. – unknown
In that respect, I feel a bit like a pariah because I don’t generally care what people do whether it’s gay marriage (why would they want to?) or religious extremists, as long as it doesn’t affect me personally.
Things I enjoy. Motorcycling. Movies. Cooking. Science Fiction Conventions. Stimulating conversation.
