Who am I as an individual?

What Am I?


Disclaimer: I do not represent any group I list below. I may affiliate, but I am not in any leadership position or important position.

Let's start basic. I am from Texas, but was raised in Ohio and Oklahoma. Surprise, a conservative that was born in Texas and raised in Oklahoma. I am 19 and I am Hispanic. Not Mexican. My family hails from Uruguay. I am also a white man with brown eyes and brown hair. Nothing too special there. I am a very average person. I am a musician and a staunch conservative. Kind of. I am very conservative on fiscal issues, but primarily liberal on most social issues. I personally value fiscal issues over social ones.

I am anti-abortion for a litany of reasons, but that story is best saved for another time. I am pro-gay rights and am a first wave feminist. If you don't know about the waves of feminism, look them up. It is extremely interesting how feminism/egalitarianism has evolved. I believe third wave feminism is idiotic and a waste of time. I am not associated with many things belonging to the third wave. I am extremely average in most ways. I am average height, build, weight, and ideals. I am pro capitalism and believe it is the best economic structure by far. I am pro-Trump although he says some of the stupidest things. I am a believer that Trump will get reelected in 2020.

I am a Christian. I value all people equally. I believe no one person is greater than another in intrinsic value. That is not to say that some people are not better than others at specific things. I, for one, cannot play a piano to save my life, but I know several people who can. I am a philosopher. If I were not Christian, I would believe in the field of existentialism, the belief that life has no particular meaning and that you must make one. I am a believer in facts, not opinions. If you do not have facts to back up an opinion and just use emotions, or pathos for those English nerds, then I will not be inclined to listen to you. Facts are important. I am a believer that discourse is the number one most important thing to the United States at this present moment. Discourse can drive political discussion, but screaming and yelling is counterproductive and plainly childish and stupid.

Now what am I not?

I am not a socialist. I believe Bernie Sanders is a dreamer and all of his "facts" are plainly incorrect. For example, his calling the Nordic Countries a "utopia" is completely incorrect. The Nordic Countries socialist structures are driven behind capitalist ideals and supported through capitalism. I am not a democrat. I am not in support of any socialized health care. I do not believe it works.

So this is who I am. Enough to fill up almost 500 words. Wow.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
