7 things you don't need to know about me.

1. I'm a procrastinator, but somehow get things done despite that handicap.
2. I've had back problems requiring surgery, but am doing much better these days, though I will never be able to be quite as physically active as I used to be. (Not a big difference really, see no. 1 above.)
3. Politically I'm a Libertarian, though not actively so, as in the real world I try to be more of a pragmatic realist. I'm also something of a nationalist, but isn't nearly everyone in some way?
4. I believe in self-defense and being an independent, self-reliant and responsible adult. I don't have much patience for those that wish to treat everyone else, other than themselves (or including themselves for that matter), as children incapable of making their own decisions or incapable of taking responsibility for their own actions.
5. I don't believe in blaming others for my own problems, of which I will always have some.
6. All that being said, I'll take help from nearly wherever I can get it in life. (See no. 3 above.)
7. I am both pessimistic and optimistic about the future. I'm mainly optimistic that the things I'm pessimistic about won't end up being as bad as I think they will. They may even end up okay. Just don't get me started on politics.
