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!”
