Been a lurker for a while

Decided it's finally time to make some posts. I am 34, from Michigan. I am Irish and Native American. I am a father and husband, self employed. I am a general conspiracist, (that a word?), brutally honest, sorta racist, pretty open, drop everything to help a friend type of guy, and don't trust the government at all.

I would define my political views as independent. Religious views, I'm honestly not sure. I believe there is something greater than us, but whether it is a mystical guy in the clouds or just energy, I haven't quite decided yet.

I love learning. I try to learn everything I can about everything I can, from business, to outdoor survival, web design and technology to welding and fabrication.

Hobbies consist mainly of fishing and waterfowl hunting.

Welcome to ATS, blackxj. Sounds like you'll fit right in. Does you name have anything to do with the Jeep, or no?

It is! I had to look it up to make sure, if it wasn't I would have been sending some strongly worded letters.

sorta racist

Try to knock that off. Prejudiced I can understand, I think we all have our moments and prejudices. To me racism is out right hating someone for the color of their skin, regardless of their character. I'll have none of that nonsense.

Do you get on weird kicks at least once a month too?


Welcome and I hope you have a great time here. It's always nice to see an introduction that is actually an introduction.

Welcome, glad your here. You may want to keep that racist stuff to yourself or you'll get flamed pretty bad around here though, just a thought.

So buckle up, keep your arms within the ride's comfort zone, have fun and "Deny Ignorance"...!

Yes, my name is from my Jeep Cherokee. Good catch!

Prejudice may be a better word. I did say I am honest though. No sense in hiding it. I have friends, who are different races and they understand and respect my views. That's why I said sort of, instead of just plain out. To be honest, I sort of just have a random hate towards people in general. I don't feel anyone owes me anything, but respect is earned. I love people who are intelligent, creative, sarcastic, open minded, hard working, respectful and courteous. I can't stand people who are the opposite. I know I am generalizing and that probably isn't quite fair, but it's really the only way to describe it. In all, there is a lot less of the type of qualities I like in people than those that I don't.

And yes, I get on monthly, weekly, even daily kicks where I have to learn something new. It drives my wife nuts and my friends think I am crazy. I get calls all the time asking me if know anything about.... and in the rare case I don't have some sort of answer, but the end of the day I usually do, lol.

Haha! Welcome!
