Politically, I'm a libertarian with republican tendencies when pushed. I'm more socially conservative on issues about crime and punishment than most libertarians. I also believe in stronger border security. In regards to foreign policy, I believe in a more isolationist foreign policy. I supported the Afghanistan campaign, but not Iraq. Economically, I'm about laissez faire as you can get. Business is overregulated and big business does not need or deserve the large subsidies that they get. As far as labor unions, I am not fond of them, but instead I support freedom of association.
Yes I am a metalhead through and through, but am not as close minded musically as some fellow headbangers. I love the blues. Anybody who can should check out Joe Bonamassa, good stuff. I love jazz. To me it represents complete musical freedom, but at the same time has rigid structures to it. Russell Malone is a genius! Classical amazes me also. I'm partial to Antonio Vivaldi's works. The melodies those baroque composers came up with never dullen or bore me. When I'm tired, classical actually wakes me up. I can't stand black metal, but love the gothenburg, sweden death metal. Unfortunately there is to much of that out and not enough thrash and progressive metal. For the record, Metallica sucks!
When it comes to hobbies, I've been surrounded by woodworking my whole life and had four years of metalshop in highschool so both these have stuck with me. In my woodworking quests, I mostly do scroll saw works. A lot of wildlife scroll work and some religious imagery. Lately, I have found a fascination with Shaker furniture, so Later I might attempt to build some of that. My metalworking quests are pretty much welding and sheetmetal fabrication. Although, I very much want to get into the machining/tool and die areas, the price of the machinery prevents me from doing so.
