The Damned Olde Man

I am the one per­son uniquely qual­i­fied to shrink your head while expand­ing your waist­line. I’m a chef. I’m a shrink. I’m a for­mer dead­head, a for­mer veg­e­tar­ian, a for­mer Demo­c­rat, a for­mer Repub­li­can. I’m a rabid fan of the Cleve­land Browns, the Cleve­land Indi­ans, THE Ohio State Buckeyes, the Los Ange­les Angels of Ana­heim (LA3), and the World Cham­pion Los Ange­les Lak­ers. I love good food, fine wine, and great beer. I love to travel, but rarely leave the coun­try. Polit­i­cally, I’m dif­fi­cult to clas­sify. I’m very con­ser­v­a­tive on some issues, I’m very lib­eral on oth­ers. I fre­quently refer to myself as a free rad­i­cal. I can be can­tan­ker­ous and intim­i­dat­ing, but my bark is much worse than my bite.

Don’t Tread On Me or
What the hell is a Free Rad­i­cal anyways?

My con­ser­v­a­tive friends have fre­quently called me a “com­mie lib.” My lib­eral friends have fre­quently referred to me as a “fas­cist.” My reli­gious friends call me a “pagan” and say I’ll be “damned to hell” for my skep­ti­cism while my athe­ist friends think I need to lose the reli­gion. Need­less to say I don’t quite fit into anyone’s neat lit­tle pigeon-hole and don’t sub­scribe to any par­tic­u­lar polit­i­cal or social ide­ol­ogy. I refer to myself as a “free rad­i­cal” with the full knowl­ege that free rad­i­cals are known to cause cancer.

About This Blog

This blog is about any damned thing I want it to be about. But mostly, it’s about the things I like: my favorite sports teams, food & drink, psy­chol­ogy, edu­ca­tion, pol­i­tics, and travel. Each sub­ject has it’s own page that will allow com­ments from vis­i­tors. TDOM Rants is the page for ran­dom posts, com­ments, and dis­cus­sion. Feel free to leave com­ments, but I reserve the right to delete them accord­ing to my whims. Most dele­tions will be for stuff I con­sider offen­sive or abu­sive, but you never know I might use just any old rea­son. Then again, I love con­tro­versy so I’ll prob­a­bly leave them up.

I have an opin­ion on just about every­thing and I don’t mind shar­ing it. Oh yeah, I couldn’t care less whether you like it or not.

Now “Get off my God­damned Lawn!”
