I’m into freedom.

What does that mean to me? It means the right to do whatever I want, whenever I want, provided I consistently observe and respect the rights and property of others. I’m a firm believer in ultimate personal responsibility for oneself, even though that means everyone has the attendant rights and responsibilities associated with completely screwing up their lives.

By day, I’m a mild-mannered scientist for a private firm in Seattle. As a fairly private person, generally I’d hesitate to reveal my location, but I’m sure my whereabouts could be surmised from the disproportionate amount of posting I do about all things Seattle and Washington State. For the most part, I love my job, but I intend to use this site as a way to release pent up frustrations when I hear my decidedly liberal/socialist coworkers and other Metronatural (gag!) wankers uttering inanely stupid justifications for the trampling of others’ rights. (While it would certainly be satisfying to give their beliefs a righteous fisking, it probably wouldn’t help my career any. I do have to work closely with many of these folks every day, after all.) Precious few conversations arise that allow me to inject at least a little freedom-oriented thought-provoking commentary, but I try to pick my moments. Everything else is likely to get dumped here.

I have a degree in engineering but didn’t pursue it as a career, thrive in rain, think hockey is the most interesting sport on the planet, and occasionally travel around to make in-person acquaintances of some of the fellow freedom-seekers I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with on this weird place that is the Internet. The only pets I have time for are two silly cats who disdainfully tolerate my late hours and regular absences provided I keep the food dish full, but one day I hope to be able to add a canine to the family—at which point my cats will likely disown me.

If you see anything amiss with the site, want to get together for a brew, or just have an uncontrollable urge to tell me to fuck off, feel free to contact me at gospazha -at- lunayapravda -dot- net. I fully reserve the right to publicly mock email content received if and when it suits me.
