I emerged from privilege but after college, having too many questions that needed answers, I took an unusual path for someone who had been supposed to be some sort of media exec. I served in two militaries, the French and the US Army. Combat veteran. I've lived in France, the US, Canada. I've traveled rather extensively. Training, war, books, research, quests...twelve years ago I almost lost my mind. Now I live a quiet life in the country in my beloved Dixie. My cat Ophelie is my only live-in companion, and I'm visited only by my son and a small rotation of young lovers who enjoy my attentions and stories. I like it like that. I am a student of history, the history of ideas, philosophy, political science, the law, literature,and nature...mostly. I'm French-English bilingual, and speak some German. I am also a student of Buddhism. In fact a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist temple and its lovely "congregation" saved my life...along with a few potions from the VA. I lead a contemplative life. I'm an odd duck and people mostly irritate me. I'm watching the world once again about to burn. Many of us knew this to be almost unavoidable and saw the storm clouds gathering. I was red-pilled in the Iraqi desert back in '03 when orders brought questions and allowed to uncover the Lies...I hate lies, especially when they cost lives...I've been fighting one brand of authoritarianism or another since as far as can remember. I have a profound hatred for anything Marxist, the bastard political offspring of Kant and Hegel...I am an American, a Patriot, an admirer of our Founders and a Constitutionalist. I believe life is meaningless if one doesn't serve something greater than oneself...but to each his own; after all, it's sometimes difficult to find a way to do so while maintaining purity of intent or a context in which to do so that holds value i.e. true. But for all I know and understand, detachment eludes me, and every day my hatred grows for those that subvert our Republic and its institutions...and have been for decades. Traitors. The last two years have seriously been messing with my Zen. The surreal irrational nonsense is reaching new heights, but the demons are always the same...as old as time... and the human nature that breeds both the worst and the best of things. But I digress and I'm rambling...My life has been interesting, but nothing I say necessarily is, so I'll leave off here...
