Introduction	Society defines me as a married college graduate who possesses a Bachelors Degree in History and Anthropology. As of December 4, 2008, I will be a certified High School Social Studies teacher...although I'm still looking for a teaching job. Hopefully I will start work on my Masters Degree in History in the next few years. My most character defining trait is my passion for movies, music, and video games. I also enjoy reading, discussing politics, and spending time with my wife and daughter. At my core, I see myself as more of an artist than a scholar, a lover rather than a fighter, and am extremely suspicious of all authoritative leaders. Although, I would not define myself as a conspiracy theorist, I do see the benefit of questioning our elected official's decisions, motives, and outcomes.
