Hmmmm. I've been debating if I should post anything in this thread. I've been fairly private about my personal life on my podcast (that's the Wonderful World Of Danny found at www.wonderfulworldofdanny.com) over the past few years. But, what the hell. Here are some basics about me:
I'm in my early thirties and I' not getting any younger. I've been married for nearly a decade. I have two kids, a 6 year old daughter and a 13 year old son. I grew up in the small hamlet of lovely Duluth, Minnesota. I moved to the twin cities area in the mid-nineties which is where I met my wife. Roughly 5 years ago I moved back here to Duluth, bringing my wife and kids with me. I complain about Duluth quite a bit, but it's mostly due to my dissappointment in the locals who don't realize how beautiful this town is and how much potential is here. I am (as is my wife) pretty much a right-leaning person and we are literally surrounded by people who are the exact opposite.
My wife and I both work for an evil health insurance company, my wife works in the office and I work out of the home as a telecommuter. We have two vehicles (both sort of crappy), a house (our second), an obnoxious weiner dog, a cat who can't die soon enough, a hamster, and a beta. We have a nice, very large back yard that sees rabbits, deer, raccoons, and skunks on a fairly regular basis. We also get crows that hang around our garbage that I haven't managed to shoot yet.
As for politics, I have never voted for anyone who isn't a Republican, although I am a registered Libertarian. I'm considering voting for the Libertarian candidate in the next presidential election. I've considered running for local office for the last few years but honestly have just been to lazy to go to city hall and file the paperwork.
Here's how I stand on a number of "issues":
Taxes-There is no reason why we don't have a flat tax
Iraq War-I fully support the war and think it's a good idea. I don't think we go to war enough.
Immigration-I say open the boarders and look into just buying Mexico.
Welfare (including the public school system)-Cut it off. There is WAY too much abuse in our current system.
Abortion-I'm pro-life, but not for religious reasons and I can completely undertand how somebody could be pro-choice. It's an issue that will never, ever be solved.
And that's pretty muc it about me. Utopia for me is hanging out in my driveway in front of my grill with a beer in my hand and loud, obnoxious music playing annoying the neighboors.
