About Me

What about me? I have an absolutely amazing family that I love to spend as much of my time with as humanly possible. I have some of the greatest friends on earth, many of whom are here on this site. I like random things. Like Ian MacKaye said, "(I) don't drink (anymore), (I) don't smoke..." and I have never touched drugs not for any other reason than I just don't care to. The term straight edge could apply here, but I don't preach about it. I don't eat meat, fish or any of those other things that would in turn make me considered a vegetarian and that's my personal choice, so carnivores have no fear, I won't complain about your diets. I'm very much in tune with independent politics (though I prefer to hear all sides of an argument to make my own decisons) and do vote as early and as often as possible. I go crazy for the hardcore punk rock, its brand of ethics and some of its correlating ideologies. Though, I do drive a '94 Saab with a leaking head gasket and some exhaust problems which is far from environmentally friendly. I don't care so much about money and see it as little more than a necessary evil to keep my family fed, warm and happy. I spent four-years on active duty in the U.S. Air Force right out of high school and went to some pretty interesting places in Europe, the Middle East and Eastern Asia in that time which opened up a lot of interests for me. I have a great job at an awesome high school, but I am seeking out another career in education for the long run. I love music, though I am not at all musically inclined. I love to write, though I am not a very good writer. I love playing sports (especially amateur wrestling), yet, I was never very good at them. And, oddly enough, I love going back to school and learning, where I used to be absolutely terrible at that, to say the very least. I tell some good jokes, but mostly bad ones. I want to win lotto and retire young to volunteer my time to various charities. I also want Chicago to host the 2016 Olympic Games, among other things.

My Interests

I have numerous interests.

Music:

From 1980s American hardcore punk rock to hip-hop to acoustic blues from the 1920s and '30s to the Queen of Soul and everything in between.

Television:

Channel 11 and WGN Morning News. If not TV, NPR. If none of those, books, magazines and newspapers (though I am skeptical about them).

Books:

As I go through school again, this list will be rather sparse. Though Thanksgiving and Christmas are coming up, so I will have a little more time to read my books on religion, politics, history, et al.
