Here we go….
1) How did you meet your wife and when did you know it was true love?
My sister met her in a chat room and for some bizarre reason decided to have me chat with her. I normally blew this kind of thing off, but not this time. We hit it off, and even though she lived 3 hours away, she accepted my date request. I knew it was true love a few months later when I met her family for the first time. Not only were they very cool to me, but I had a massive allergy attack from her grandmother’s cats and dogs and ended up getting a vicious case of the flu on top of it. I spent 3 days in bed and she took care of me, going so far as to drive me the 4 hours back (through a blizzard) to her dorm so I could go home. Instant love.
2) Tell us about your job and what you do on a daily basis?
I am a software engineer, but most of what I have done with my current job is support some of the programs and services we run, and to perform basic maintenance (password resets, etc) on the programs we control
3) What brought you to HDC?
In all honesty? I came here to pimp my site, but I didn’t want to be a douchebag and say “Come visit my super cool website”, so I found relevant things to talk about. Turns out, I got along with quite a few people here and I stuck around.
4) Are there any political beliefs that you hold dear? What kinds of issues really get your blood pumping?
Oh, there are all kinds, I am very opinionated. I think the right and the left get most things wrong. I don’t think we NEED guns (and the NRA is NOT “freedom’s front line”… get over yourselves), but that there is nothing wrong with owning them
I think pro-lifers should have to raise any and all kids they were directly or indirectly responsible for being born.
I wish politicians would grow the hell up and stop blaming the media for all the woes in life.
5) We all know you like to write, how do you write? Where do you get ideas, what are your ideal 'writing' conditions, etc.?
I typically like a nice, serene setting, not a lot of background noise. I like ambient music, the darker the better (the quake soundtrack is my staple, American McGee’s Alice helps also). As much visual stimulation as I can get helps, but anything that gets me going emotionally works.
I get ideas from everything, documentaries about the military, songs, offhanded comments by people, movies, stories, videogames, you name it.
