When I entered college, I was a nerdy, freshly Eagle-Scout-ified, naive goody-two-shoes who listened only to country (and only 90s and earlier at that) and oldies. Now, I’m a married, gainfully employed, still mostly goody-two-shoes nerd, who listens to Megadeth, Rammstein, and Godsmack. Have I changed? How have I changed? Should I even think about this at 5 am?

I'm a software developer working in the NoVA-Baltimore area. I'm also a husband, Catholic, futurist, linguist, gamer, musician, political scientist and philosopher.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Indeed, I have changed you for the better my love.
However, you’re still way geeky. At least you dress better now.
