hmmm... Well here goes...
Why blog?
Well why not blog?... where else can you go, vent (AKA state your opinion in a heated manor), blow off your stress, and actually have someone come read it?.. Hell try that at a bar, and people give you a real nice big personal space...
Well actually, I was just curious where it would go if I started it... We'll see...
Who am I?
Well I'm your average guy... Late twenties, early thirties... I work in the entertainment industry. Mostly on scenery, lighting, rigging. Occasionally on sound, video, and even spend some time behind a sewing machine when needed... I am slowly developing a taste for fine woodworking as opposed to the often quick and dirty method we deal with in the arts... I live someplace in New Jersey. (that's the east coast of the US if you happen to be from elsewhere)(and no, I do not have that "Jersey accent" that the world thinks we all have) Anyone that actually knew me, would figure out who I was just from reading how I write, and what I write about. So what ya get here, is me... the raw version... Enjoy it, or hate it, its not to likely to change...
Where do I stand on the current military actions of the US?
Honestly, I happen to hate war, death, and destruction. (if you don't, then go away, I don't want you here) However, I absolutly stand behind the armed forces and the great people filling their ranks. I'd prefer that they could all be home with their families, unfortunatly, that doesn't seem to be possible right now. Hopefully they can do their job, and get home soon... But don't ever expect to see me yelling for their recall to the states because the press is screaming "morass".
Where do stand on terrorisim?
Fuck the terrorists. And I make no distinction between domestic ones, and foreign ones... Scum is scum... I'd like to think that we as human beings are intelligent enough to deal with differences peacefully... I've got no problem with anyone that wants to live their life in peace. Personally I don't care if your religion is so freaky that part of it involves feeding kittens to snakes, as long as it doesn't impact me personally, and you don't get in my face telling me I'm wrong because I don't beleave in it... (that goes for everyone... don't come knocking on my door to talk religion... period) (damn... now there's a digression...)
How about politics?
I do what I can to avoid politics too... That's not quite as easy as ducking other topics...
What's the deal with that freaky kittens and snakes statement?
Cats are my favorite pets, and I am constantly creaped out by snakes... I figured throw the worst possible combination together, and it'd be a good analogy...
There you have it... Me in a nutshell... Or is it me - a nut?... Ehhh... Does it really matter? I'd be suprised if you made it this far to debate it...
More another time perhaps...
