About me

This is The Libercontrarian:

Gun owner. Married. Ex-Navy.

A Christian, but not too sinless. Foul-mouthed, sarcastic, a little self-righteous. Sometimes angry. Jocluar. A bit of a crusader. A great friend. A pretty decent American.

Hello Again

Hello, I am Libercontrarian.

I am posting again, for the first time in just under a year. I feel like Lazarus, returning from the grave, disoriented and a little scared.

Much good has happened. Lives have been changed, mostly for the better. I have taken some minor personal adventures - a trip to a foreign land, bought three new cars, and dug myself into some rather impressive consumer debt. Bought a few guns along the way, shot some rounds downrange, converted a few Sheep into Sheepdogs.

Princess and I continue to be grateful for our health, our stable lives, our animal-family - oh, we added a couple of friends, then three or four more by default. Things are a little tight in the new home.

Libercontrarian and Grace, Buddie, and Handsome Timber

I am not certain that I won't be wasting your time here in the future. There are no guarantees - I went back and read some of my old posts, and was able to give myself some constructive criticism - "Hey, lighten up on the sentence structure, the emotionality, the paragraph length. Make people WANT to read this stuff!"

I am not sure that I want to commit to posting daily. I suspect my fatigue grew originally out of a compulsive need to make certain I made the most stinging rebukes, the most convincing arguments, the brightest observations... I was like that dopey kid who always raises his hand in class (and true-to-form, Mr. Arrogant-Know-It-All WAS that kid); a little overeager and severe.

There are many interesting things to discuss here - there have been numerous suicidal mass-shootings over the past year; indeed I can safely say it's a trend amongst the sociopaths and the weak-minded. We have an election that has unprecedented events happening: a man of mixed-race ancestry looks to be making a successful bid for the White House, as is a woman. The War looks like it's going... almost better.

Where do I go with this? What will I do? I will definitely continue to talk about guns. I will discuss politics on here again. Maybe I'll redesign the damned thing and let some buddies post here.

We shall see. I make no commitments other than to likely offend some of you. ;-)

Welcome back.

Come to the party.

You're free to take part of ResurrectionSong if you'd like. Less pressure to do it daily, some small audience, and occasional free shots from me at the blogger bash.

Of course, then it isn't your site, which is a big negative.

This is a tempting and potentially attractive proposition, me boyo.

Let me ponder on it a bit and I will get back to you. I am still trying to find my voice a year after I stopped posting, but... it's coming back.
