Greetings! Thanks for taking the time out to check out my blog here. Let’s get to it shall we?
A little about me, a little about the blog, and a little about what I aim to do with it here yes? Ok then...
A little about me:
I’m 32 years old, male and I’m a native to Austin Texas. I’m told I’m something of a unique character (INTJ and/or ENTJ sitting right smack dab on the Virgo/Libra cusp...provided you put stock into such things) & (at times at least), people seem to enjoy listening to what I have to say... and lord have mercy can I say quite a lot. I am extremely verbose. I feel it is both a blessing and a curse. People will inevitably reach a certain “saturation point” when listening to me... a point at which the information, ideas, opinions etc that I discuss simply become more than the individual can digest in a single sitting, and that’s ok.
I entirely understand people reaching that point of total saturation. Generally this occurs when I’m discussing matters of government, politics, economics, history, law & philosophy primarily. These are items I place a greater value on than is average, & have been studying for several years now, going back to about 2004. People reach this saturation point I presume, because what I attempt to do is concentrate the last seven years of study into “short” monologues, highlighting what I feel are the most important points, & then cramming them all into a small diatribe about whatever the topic is at hand. This is why I say I understand people reaching that point of total saturation with me, because let’s be honest... who honestly enjoys being talked AT for any extended period of time, and... how capable are any of us of having seven years of study crammed into our skulls in under 10 minutes? It’s sort of like trying to put an entire road cone in ones rectum... sure, you might be able to eventually do it... but not comfortably in under 2 seconds.
I also have a propensity for drawing up horrible metaphors and analogies. But I suppose I should warned you about that a few sentences ago huh?
A little about this blog:
First of all, blogging... isn’t really my “thing”. While I can belt out somewhere between 80 to 120 wpm (depending on how much coffee I've gotten into), it’s still not really enough to allow my fingers to keep up with my head. Things move really fast in there.
I’m much more inclined to be behind a microphone like the work I’ve done with certain pirate radio stations in the past. My mouth is usually better suited to keep speed with my mind than my fingers. Plus, nobody’s ever said to me, “You know, you have a really nice radio font.” before. Voice yes, font no.
So why the title “Liberty Libido”? In short, I felt it appropriate. I have what I can only describe as a certain “fetish” for Liberty and the causes of promoting her. In fact, I would argue that man’s need for Freedom is greater than his own sexual appetite, no matter how strong it may be. After all, we have ample historical and modern day examples of individuals willingly taking vows of celibacy, abstinence, and the sort. But where do we look to for such examples of man's willingness to engage in celibacy from free will, or even the abstinence of it? Where do we see such abundant examples in the history of humanity, of those willing to sacrifice their fortunes, their honor, and even their lives for the sake of “getting laid”? You can kinda see where the title for this blog comes from then yeah?
And finally, what I aim to do with this blog here:
To be honest, I haven’t even thought about this much. If anything, this will probably serve as more of a pressure release valve than anything for me. More often than is probably healthy, I find myself with thoughts regarding politics, economics etc racing around inside my skull, desperately seeking an outlet. And there’s only so many times you can call someone and wake them from slumber at 3am to discuss the problems and probabilities of the next round of quantitative easing, before they simply stop answering your calls.
I figure by having somewhere to go with these things, I can get this stuff out of my head, and anyone interested in these matters can pursue them at their own leisure rather than having me force feed them facts, data, analogies, theories etc against their will. So really I suppose this is sort of a hybrid of helping myself and others around me in that regard.
So there you have it, a bit about myself, the blog and what it's here for...
In future postings, I will probably be discussing matters such as the “Federal” Reserve system, the current presidential election, theories of self-governance, and what I feel are misconceptions with regards to complete and total governmental deregulation of the markets. I hope you’ll come back, subscribe, give me feedback, and share with friends and family.
Happy trails to you...
