This region of my profile requires constant update, as I am an ever changing, growing, evolving, and learning human being. It unfortunately tends to remain as I put it for months at a time. My mentality and attitude changes daily, as well as the rules of engagement. I think it would be a shame to deprive us of the pleasure of learning about one another the more natural way anyhow, but avoid lying to me if at all possible. It's not really necessary, and is the surest way to kill my respect for you as an individual. I will do my very best to return the favor of honesty, as long as you, like me, maintain an open mind and reserve your judgments until you're willing to gain an understanding of me and my position. I love people for their flaws, and for their desire to overcome them, not in spite of them. Share with me and be yourself and you might be surprised at the results. Let me find out that you lie for the sake of it, and I will let you know when I've found you out. We'll cross that bridge when you force us to.

Having said that, I suppose it's only fair to try to offer a little something about me.

I tend to be blunt and sometimes crass. As such, it may be hard to tell if I'm insulting you, or simply making fun of you out of love. Rest assured though, with some patience, you'll soon find out.

If I do insult you, or more then likely, become defensive at something you might say that I perceive as an attack, I will strike back. I can't help it sometimes. I'm human, and it's one of my weaknesses. It will more then likely come in the form of me doing my best to rationally explain my position while simultaneously, even if childishly, trying to make you feel as stupid as I see you at that given point of time. It doesn't mean you are, or that I'm even right. It's just a reaction. Once that's over with, I'll apologize, and try to simply accept that we don't agree. That may work for you, it may not, but I'm getting used to writing people off. It stings, but I survive.

I am married. Have been for 7 years and counting. I have 3 kids. I have had a myriad of jobs over the years, and still hold a few of them. I've worked in Television, retail, farming, professional theater, electronics repair, and ballistic avionics maintenance. I presently work for the Federal Government as a perk of my former active military service, and am now serving my country even further as an Army reservist. I'm pretty good with computers, getting better all the time, and I never learned to type the "right" way.

I have a strange affinity for anachronistic options. I wear tuxedo vests with my t-shirts. I use a straight razor, and have a mechanical pocket watch. I love my gadgets too, and am the all too proud owner of a Nokia N-810 Internet Tablet. It is just about the coolest thing I've ever seen, and I'm pleased to share with the world what I can do with it.

I'm a Linux user, which some people gawk at, but it works for me. It's simple, efficient, cheap, and offers exponentially more options then any other OS I've seen to date, but I try to maintain some sort of Windows device at all times just in case some function requires and justifies it, though only as a last resort.
I can't leave any object I own as I found it. Everything requires modification and customization, and yes... I void warranties.

What I'm trying to offer here is the things you might notice if you were to meet me. I'm not telling you who I am. I'm telling you how I behave, and letting you judge for yourself. I find it a pleasure myself, and would hate to deprive anyone interested enough to read this the pleasure for themselves. Thanks for your time.
