The Me
- The Sasquatch
- Columbus, Ohio, United States
- I'm a bald man with bad eyesight. I'm 5'11" and I eat chili with reckless abandon. I'm a Cincinnati Reds fan and lover of literature. I once tackled a midget. I work with computers but my computer rarely works. My ears ring, my feet hurt, and most popular music will make my toenails curl if the weather is right. I am hopeless when it comes to understanding women or economics or why the sky is blue instead of some other color. I enjoy the smell of freshly cut grass and the sound of rain in the forest. I believe in God, but I sometimes wonder whether He believes in me. I watch television on Wednesdays and I listen to the radio when I'm in my car. My baseball coach used to tell me that I ran so slow he had to time me with a calendar and my band director once said I could be a professional cornet player if only I'd practice. I am madly in love with my wife and she is madly in love with the original CSI. I wake up each morning with a smile on my face because, even if it's cold and grey and rainy and dreary, the first thing I see in the morning is her face, and it is the most beautiful site in the world; especially after I put on my glasses.

asshole? probably not. too much time on your hands? definitely.
i've been booted from one political rantings website, because the owner of the website is of the opinion that if you aren't a gun-toting republican, or part of the family (they let one left-winger in the discussion because he's the owner's little brother) then you obviously are an idiot. Ironically, i am either apolitical, or somewhere in the middle, generally opposing both sides (definitely not a righty or a lefty), but the main dude didn't like my comments anyway. i liked to comment everyonce in a while when things were getting completely out of balance, entirely factually bereft, or missing the point more than normal. He liked to call me an [insert childish poo-flinging name here] in response.
The majority of the time online "forums" for political discussion really aren't that. What the authors generally want is a place to bitch, and to be pat on the back by those who agree with them. i have rarely seen ones where this isn't where they end up. Genuine dialogue almost never happens, and most of the time those who attempt it get lambasted, and both parties get drawn into a "my dad can beat up your dad" level of arguing, rather than intellegently discussing. If i cared more about politics, i might start one up. But i don't, so i won't. So, i'm done with that - except when there is something particularly pressing and i'll just settle to note it on my space, rather that shove it into anyone else's reading stack.
Probably more than the $0.02 you were looking for, but, uh, you did ask.
Thanks jimi. I do have too much time on my hands, don't I? Perhaps I should get a job which involves work!
