I was born in Louisiana, but was raised in the Northeast (New Jersey, to be exact). I have only recently relocated to Bayou country. I like politics, sports, cinema, creative writing, history, and popular culture. I'm a jazz devotee. I also make a mean pot of chili. I'm opinionated (or so my friends tell me). I also like to hear the views and opinions of others. I love the New York Jets, but please don't hold that against me.
