Who are you?

[Ize]

1. How old are you? Turned 41 last December, and I'm still bitter you guys didn't wish me a Happy Birthday.

2. Marital status Married (v2.0) 4 years coming in April. We've been together over 8

3. Do you have kids? 2. My 10 year old who we have every other week, and my soon to be 3 year old who we have all the time. And I mean ALL the time. He's exhausting...

4. Where do you live? Decatur, Illinois. Originally from St. Louis Missouri

5. What is your occupation? Commercial Production Director for a 5 station radio group in Springfield Illinois

6. Do you smoke? Yes, but working on No and not having a whole lot of fun with it...

7. What way do you "lean" politically? Bah, spent too many years in Talk Radio so it's not a major in my life. I lean conservative but in the end I vote for the least offensive crook. But I do vote.

8. Are you religious? Roman Catholic. I go, but am as attached to it as I am my politics (see above ^)

9. What do you drive? 1995 Ford Thunderbird, it's paid for AND Ford replaced the original factory defect engine in it in 2001, so it's mine for the long haul

10. What would you consider your personality? (outgoing, shy, bubbly, etc.) Friendly, outgoing, good natured... stress kills ya know?

11. Do you believe in global warming? Yes the globe is warming. Are we causing it? Marginally at best. I think the big meteorite we can't see is more of a threat to the planet than we are.

12. Tell us something about yourself that we'd never guess. Even though I work in radio I can be pretty shy. Until I have a couple of beers of course

Smart man. And unless you spend over 10 years doing it for a living, don't expect to make a lot of $$$... The phrase "overworked and underpaid" I think was specifically created for the broadcast industry.

[LouisianaVince]

1. How old are you?
49
2. Marital status?
Long-term domestic relationship
3. Do you have kids?
No direct genetic progeny that I know of.
4. Where do you live?
127.0.0.1 circa Dallas Texas
5. What is your occupation?
Mainframe systems programmer, and I manage a team IT dinosaurs. Rumors of the mainframe's demise have been greatly exaggerated.
6. Do you smoke?
Cigars and pipes. I'm a major fan of good cigars.
7. What way do you "lean" politically?
Former Trekkie, turned progressive, turned libertarian, now abolitionist, anti-state, anarcho-capitalist. Essentially Rothbardian. There's no government like no government. I am my own authority. I do not consent to be governed. But I still like to read David Corn, the editor of The Nation, go figure.
8. Are you religious?
No. I was once a theomachist, but I got over that and now I'm resolutely atheist. Ethically I'm an objectivist, although not entirely Randian. Atlas Shrugged.
9. What do you drive?
Jeep Wrangler Sport, lifted, Warn winch, rock rails, 33's, 4.56 gears, ARB front, Detroit locker in the rear, etc.
10. What would you consider your personality? (outgoing, shy, bubbly, etc.)
Charming; a paranoid extrovert. I love you. Don't f**k with me.
11. Do you believe in global warming?
I think the earth goes through natural cycles of which global warming and global cooling are part. The present evidence of global warming are likely indicative of that cycle. Humanity unquestionably has an effect on the environment, and that effect is often deleterious. I reject tree-hugging mud-hut groveling Luddite solutions and favor instead the continued advancement and improvement and development of technology to both counter and to reduce the damage caused by human civilization. But, I'm a great fan of humanity, even though I think most people are f**k*d up.
12. Tell us something about yourself that we'd never guess.
As an unpaid volunteer, I catered a small picnic gathering for a local Free State Project group in 2004 at which Libertarian presidential candidate Michael Badnarik was the featured guest speaker. That was about the time that I was coming to grips with my growing conviction that government is unjustified and lacks authority, and that voting is an act of aggression.

Hey folks, that's my brother!
Guess I'll do this, too. Hang on...

 

[LouisianaVince]

1. How old are you?
47
2. Marital status
Married, round 2 (and final...happily so!)
3. Do you have kids?
Yep, 2 of them.
4. Where do you live?
Baton Rouge, LA
5. What is your occupation?
Under paid middle management at a 24/7 mostly inbound call center
6. Do you smoke?
Note the difference between my brother (beer4breakfast) and me: Yes, Pipes and cigars. I love a good tobacco in a well made pipe!
7. What way do you "lean" politically?
Left of center, but not off the charts. I have a bumper sticker that reads, "I love my country, but I fear my government".
8. Are you religious?
No. Once upon a time, I was deeply entrenched in the bowels of Charismania. My beliefs now are fashioned more after my native ancestors. I believe a higher power exist. I refer to this power as Grandfather or Great Spirit. But I can still sing a mean gospel song at a jam or a funeral when asked.
9. What do you drive?
2000 Toyota Tacoma extended cab.
10. What would you consider your personality? (outgoing, shy, bubbly, etc.)
Friendly and warm, but somewhat reserved until I get to know you.
11. Do you believe in global warming?
Of course. It's scientifically evident. However, like my brother, I'm not convinced it is caused by SUV drivers. Unlike my brother, I'm probably more a tree hugger than he is. That doesn't stop me from using paper or being in favor of cutting down a forest if the greater good is for humans rather than the spotted owl, though.
12. Tell us something about yourself that we'd never guess.
When I was little and my sisters ran a dance studio out of our house, I took ballet (until I got big enough to refuse...I think I was 6).

10. What would you consider your personality? (outgoing, shy, bubbly, etc.) I'm reserved with people I don't know but I'm outgoing once you get to know me.
11. Do you believe in global warming? Nope. Not enough data collected but I do believe we need to cut down human pollution.
12. Tell us something about yourself that we'd never guess. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes about 3 years ago. The doctors and nutritionists tell me I have to stop drinking beer but they can kiss my a**.

 

[Spyk'd]

This is cool! I dream of such things. Only I think a brewery and bakery would be a nice combination. Just think of the whole grain breads you could brew, er, I mean bake.

Success to you in your venture.

That's phase II that I shall not talk about...yet!





Oh, and keep all cloves away from me, I'll smoke them all!!!

I currently do not smoke a thing...
