About Me

About Me: Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around. -G.K. Chesterton

Favorite Artists: Randy York, Johnny Cash, Huntley Brown, The Bobs, The Von Trapp Children, The Beatles

Heroes: My daddy, Mr. Finch (my old Choir director), and Daniel Spiotta (DJS the HBH)
Interests: I like homeschooling, homeschoolers, cool people, brilliant ideas, good food, and G.K. Chesterton. Most of my other main interests change often, though... I like golf, airsoft, chess, music, and British comedy, but certainly not in that order.
Expertise: I am good at spectating awesome things. I am also a master of mindless procrastination. If you have never seen me loaf before, I'll tell you it's quite something. I can while away an entire day doing absolutely nothing, before I notice that I've woken up. That's about all I can do, though....
