So you want to know about me?

OK. Real quickly let me tell you a little about me and maybe that will answer some of your questions about where my crazy ideas come from.

I’m 29, attached but not hitched, BS in Business Admin from the University of Central Florida, lifelong resident of Florida currently residing in Winter Springs, spent five years working retail, three years with a major airline, and was a stockbroker for three years. I’m currently working as an office/administrative manager for a decent size interior design firm/furniture store in downtown Orlando.

I really started becoming truly cognizant of the world around me during the Reagan years, which has helped to really shape my worldview. Bush 41 wasn’t too bad; Clinton had his good points as well as his downfalls. Dubya is showing a lot of promise, but he still has a lot of work to do to become a great President. I don’t remember too much of Carter and nothing of Ford or Nixon.

Politically, I like the libertarian point of view (small non-intrusive government), but I’m also a realist and understand that a libertarian style government would still have its shortfalls. So I look for candidates that best fit the small government mold and work from there. Every election in that I’ve voted in, it always seems to be a choice of lesser evils. I’ve voted both Republican and Democrat – though I will admit to more Republican choices. It’s always just a matter of who will do best for the country (or will do the least damage) in my opinion.

My interests (and what I will write about most often) tend to be what some people refer to as “odd.” I have a very strong interest in both railroads and airlines. Most of the time, politics aren’t very important to me, but every once in a while I hit a political ranting mood and then it seems like I’m interested only in politics. I really enjoy history and how it can relate to the events we see happening around us today. I even sell ancient coins on my website http://www.cbnoble.com I enjoy reading and discussing our military (Disclaimer: I was never in the military and do not speak from a position of firsthand knowledge. If Sgt. Stryker disagrees with me – believe him.). Foreign affairs can usually hold my attention for a while. Economic issues were more forte for a while – I’m kind of burned out on talking about the US and world economy, but don’t be surprised to see some discussion economic issues. There is certainly more, but I better stop or you’ll never read me again.

Please, please, please give me some feedback. Tell me I wonderful, tell me I suck, tell me you'll never read this site again, just give me something! You can email me at blog(at)cbnoble.com or just leave a comment.
