Ed Bellis tagged me. Jerk :-)
So here goes:
1.) I spent my 1-12 years outside of Charlottesville, Virginia. And coming out here to Purcellville, I realize that I like the country.
2.) I’m a political independent. This tends to surprise people with whom I align on one or two issues and then find that I don’t tote their party line. Why am I independent? What are the chances that one parties positions on every.single.issue is correct? What are the chances that sometimes, situations dictate that our policies lean one way or the other only to be reversed when the domestic or foreign policy landscape changes? What are the chances that, really, it doesn’t matter who you vote for because there’s a non-elected bureaucratic class that actually creates the majority of public policy for their interest and the interest of longevity and power for the agency they serve?
3.) Similarly, I’m not an atheist or agnostic, but acknowledge the difference between uncertainty and doubt in belief/faith.
4.) My music collection could quite possibly be the most Caucasian 60gb you might encounter. There’s also more classical, be-bop, and latin than most people would suppose. It’s not constructed that way with intention, or to say that it’s not diverse in the genetic make-up of the artists represented, it’s just that when I think about it, the hip-hop/rap I do have is, like, 17 years old or more. Actually, while you probably didn’t know that about me, you probably could have guessed.
5.) If I had to do it all over again, I would be an architect. Or a landscape architect. In fact, I’d be very happy and content doing manual labor for a living.’
6.) There is no sixth thing.
