About Me

Probably one of the youngest readers, I found this by accident, and got hooked.

I love biking, eating, biking while eating, reading, sleeping, sharing my concern about various issues with my peers, and hoping something sticks. Long ago, I wanted to be a missionary, or a taco, but now I'm looking at something in the knockabout field, perhaps consulting.

I hate having to try and describe myself, so I will let others do so. "An outstanding young man", "a worthy representative of his generation", "thoughtful", "intelligent", "a natural leader", "jerk", "asshole", "smart-ass", "punk", "Teeth" (that's a nickname).

I'm interested in current events (obviously), but also in intersections. Where music meets politics, where art meets the environment, etc. I am greatly concerned with lasting events, as a young person, and I want to be a voice for my generation, since rarely are the lasting effects of something considered. I also want to up-to-date on the latest, breaking news, because I'm that guy, who talks about news before anyone else knows about it.

Hashbrowns are not the greatest food, funnel cakes are.

Thanks to all of you who comment that keep things more or less civil. Thanks to the contributors!
