: About Me

Like every other humble aspiring writer will tell you, I'm not a writer I just do it for fun. Well its obvious I am not a writer, one look at my articles will tell you that. When I feel passionate about something and the wheels start turning I write. To pay the bills I run my own kitchen design and sales business, and I am a CKD (certified kitchen designer).

My true passion is music. I play guitar, keyboards, I sing, and compose all sorts of music. You can check out my link. I am a classically trained guitarist but love metal and hard rock. At the moment I am recording a piece by Mozart but in Heavy Metal style. I am also in the band Kill By Inches.

13 of 15

The significance of the April 15th mock tea party is minimal at best, comedic at times, and mostly a promotional stunt. There is no comparison to, or parallel between this recent gathering and the original Boston Tea Party of 1773. One event led to the forming of an independent nation, the other led to the splintering of a political party. The original Tea Party was a movement by the colonies against the British Crown ignited by taxation without representation. This recent gathering could not have been about taxation because taxes have not gone up, and every citizen is represented by an el...
