Should I write about myself? There's something weird about doing that. Maybe it's just paranoia; I am a fairly shy person. I think it's something more, though. The world is becoming a less private place. It's possible that some miniscule part of the whole blog craze may be a reaction to this change, kind of an attempt by people to control what gets revealed about them, or at least have a say in it. So here's my cascading, htmlized facade to the world:

I am an Anglo-Saxon male Gen-Xer, not-so-slightly balding, politically conservative and introspectively Christian. I enjoy philosophical discussion (although I don't think I'm very versed at it yet) and my favorite thing to do is get comfortable, eat candy, and read (I like almost anything by the Inklings. And Willy Wonka.).

I live in Mississippi, USA, which just means that I thank God regularly for air conditioning. I've lived on the same piece of ground all my life, and have watched the area go from dirt-road-middle-of-nowhere to shopping-mall-suburbia. I'm still not sure I like the idea very much, but my wife and 3 kids are cool with it.
