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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
