Interests & Hobbies
Hobbies:
I was once having a conversation with a wise, drunken old man while at a corporate retreat, and he shared a bit of advice that has been transformative in my life.
He peered into my eyes, his gaze broken as his eyes darted to and fro, influenced by nystagmus that had been brought on by years of heavy drinking. He slowly reached up and put his weather hand on my shoulder and leaned in close, ready to share a story that I knew would be provocative and insightful.
He shared that he had been a philanderer for years, had consumed more booze than many could afford with a lifetimes' salary, and most impactful, he boldly stated, "I FUCKING HATE GOLF!"
From that moment, I knew that I too hated golf, and I needed to find another expensive hobby in which to spend my leisure time. I remained lost for a period of time, trying to seek out a hobby in which I could somehow mimic his disdain for the hobby in which he so eloquently and thoroughly had derided.
After many years, I found MFC. It was a way for me to spend money foolishly and recklessly. I could tap into his spirit of wasting money on sources of frustration and angst. I had found my source of hatred, spite, and it was filled with nearly as many backstabbing manipulators as any golf course one could imagine. It has become my calling.
Talents:
One time, I was walking by a feminist rally in downtown Austin, and I got arrested for mistreatment of livestock after I accidentally bumped into a protestor, knocking her over.
