More About Me, Part 1

Okay ... just finished filling out my profile. It seems a little skimpy ... I feel I should tell you more about me up front.

I have a mini-rant that hits some of the high points of me ... let me post that, to start ...

===================

Yes, I'm black. Yes, I'm female.

Yes, I'm a Texan, fourth generation on my mamma's side, born and bred --- can you tell I'm proud of my native state? Yes, I "do" genealogy --- if Texas genealogy, or black genealogy, are among your interests, leave me a comment!

Yes, I'm a computer jockette --- computers are my personal avocation and professional occupation.

Yes, my husband is white.

Yes, I love most music. Yes, the only new music I regularly listen to is country --- and yes, I grew up listening to it. Yes, I despise most rap.

Yes, I'm pro-life, and anti-abortion. Yes, I'm pro-homeschool, and pro-vouchers. Yes, I'm pro-gun, and pro-carry.

Yes, I think drugs for adults and prostitution amongst adults should be legalized and regulated and taxed like every other branch of entertainment. Involve someone under 18 and I'll help the Big House fall on your head.

Yes, I'm conservative. Yes, I learned conservatism at my mamma's knee. Whoever said that black folks are a monolith is out of touch with the black community.

Yes, I support the War on Terror, and our magnificent US military, and, yes, I often support the Bush Administration's positions. Yes, every day I put my palms together and thank the good Lord that Al Gore was NOT the President of the United States on September 11, 2001. Yes, when John Kerry said he wanted to be the second black President of the United States, I was incensed. Yes, I vote every chance I get, and, yes, I vote mostly Republican.

Yes, I believe in the United States of America and the principles upon which she was founded. Yes, I love this country, "my own, my native land!"

Your mileage, of course, may vary.

Hello There!

Hello there, folks!

I'm just getting started here, but I hope to have some things posted later tonight ... y'all come back, y'hear?
