United StatesA full-time university student, I find that I still have a good chunk of free-time on my hands, most of which I devote to my two favorite pastimes: socializing and reading. Neither a party animal nor a book worm, I've found a cozy place between both worlds. Nuzzled securely between them, I am not so much limited as enabled to flow back and forth as I please. I adore everything political; or, more correctly, reading and talking about everything political. Certainly, not everything I read and hear is to my liking. In fact, the more I read and hear, the harder it is to keep my cynicism from flowering. With the steam of this bulging sardonicism behind me, however, I am propelled forcefully forward into the world of Political Activism. Here is where I hope to make my life.

I may have a hunch or a leaning on issue X or Y, but I am never deaf to reason. In more label-esque terms, I suppose I'm a Leftist. Were it not for the primary use of the term "Vocalist", I would use that Occupation: Student Networking Goals: I want to make friends, perhaps even a few enemies, and find organizations or causes through which I can quench my activist-thirst. I just want to be out there, shouting and petitioning, brainstorming and letter-writing, crafting ideas, making goals, and Added on 07-09-2008 Updated on 07-09-2008 |
