I'm a wild and crazy guy.

I like to do crazy things. Or at least what rather safe and conservative people consider wild and crazy. In other words, I'll take a chance. A risk. That's helped me become what I am. Among other things, a romantic idealist. I cultivate love. I live for love. And I'm willing to go off the deep end. For love. I've also renounced Christianity. I left the faith to become a free-thinker. I mean, I guess, that to believe something, I really have to believe. Not just go through the motions. And to some extent, I have to believe what I really want to believe. I adopt a belief. And then I fortify it. I find good and valid reasons that personally satisfy me. Doesn't bother me to go against the generally accepted popular belief. I also like to brandish liberal points of view. Especially when I'm amongst conservatives. I love to alienate capitalists and Republicans and patriots. Often, by defending socialism. I like to flow. But not in the mainstream. I'd rather meander off the beaten track. And it doesn't bother me to be a loner. To go my way. I'd just as soon wander in the wilderness for 40 days and nights rather than mix with the multitudes. And if people call me crazy, I'd take it as a compliment. --Jim Broede
