Biography
I’m 21 years old, live in northern Idaho, and am an on-again, off-again student studying a little of everything.
I currently work part-time as the operations manager of an ice rink. Yes, I get to drive the Zamboni!
Politically, I’m a small-L libertarian. I believe in extremely limited government and extensive personal responsibility. I think our current system is the result of laziness and cowardice; people stopped wanting to deal with things themselves, so they gave power to the government to deal with it for them. If I were in charge… Well, I’ll save that for my posts. Suffice it to say things would be far different.
Of the issues I’m passionate about, gun rights are at the top of the list. I am a proud gun owner and semi-avid shooter, though I confess to letting the winter weather keep me indoors more than I should. I believe the Second Amendment exists to ensure the citizens of this great nation will always have the means with which to overthrow a tyrannical government. The AR-15s of today are the Brown Besses of 1776.
I consider myself to be an odd sort of Christian, not really fitting into any denomination I’ve found thus far. I may chronicle my theology on the blog eventually.
My other interests are varied and a bit eclectic. I drive an older truck (1981 Chevy K10 Silverado) I’ll be working on indefinitely, and I also own a pink Tank scooter I ride around town. It’s hard to miss!
I don’t read as much as I should, but I’m trying to return to the avid reading habits of my childhood. I spend a considerable amount of time each day mucking about on the internet, doing this and that - hence why I figured I might as well do something productive, and blog! I’m currently learning more about CSS and Unix, though it’s an uphill battle for those trying to teach me. In other nerd news, I play World of Warcraft on the Dethecus server.
Last but not least, on August 4th, 2007 I married the love of my life, Mike. We live with our cat, Gipper, and dog, Joey. Gipper is a big orange tabby with multiple personalities (two of which are named named “Destructo” and “Insaneo”) and Joey is a small black and tan Chihuahua who weighs exactly half as much as Gipper. They’re best of friends, though, and have some wrestling moves that could probably earn them a spot in the UFC.
