Let’s meet some more IMAO readers. Today, it’s howlsatmoon.
What’s the story behind your name? My Grandfather gave it to me, along with the Wolf totem as my “spirit guide”. Seems I was a Loud baby. When finally deciding to give Blogging a try, much to my joy, it was available. Most people refer to me by my Christian name, [redacted]. Old days compatriots use a variant of Wollf.
Where do you live? One of the “safest” cities in the States, Thousand Oaks, Cali. Of course it’s safe. I live here. Heh.
How old are you? I am exactly [redacted]. Ok, old enuff to be a fan of Nixon for getting us out of ‘Nam before I would have deployed there, but young enuff to Really enjoy doing “stuff” with a ten year old son, a fifteen year old son and an eighteen year old daughter.
Tell us briefly about yourself. [redacted]. Ok, real short. The truth is that I’m a new “semi single” guy after twenty years, dealing with the ups and downs of divorce, the ups only of being the best Dad that I can to three “at home” kids, re-inventing myself, learning about adult ADD recently diagnosed, and learning that life is brand new an fun again.
How long have you been reading IMAO? I’ve lurked around the periphery,(college word), for about three years. Just since the beginning of my evolution have I begun joining in the fray.
What’s your favorite IMAO post? Oh, actually anything that includes monkeys, Fred Thompson, Silky Pony, Aquaman, Harvey, punching hippies, large explosives on our nearest celestial neighbor, stupid people being shot, kos kids, Billary, Bushitler, or the advantages of Miracle Whip over Mayonnaise. (that last one destroys marriages)
If you were to describe IMAO in three words, what would those be? Daily “Snortmycoffeeoutthroughmynose” Moment.
What’s you favorite political issue? National Security. Yup, I know that’s broad, but I’m ADD, remember? It includes illegal immigration, the war on terror, Second Amendment rights and Military and Intelligence funding. Everything else is useless tripe if we all go “boom”.
Do you have a website? If so, please tell us briefly about it. Yes, I do. What it’s about is whatever direction I let my mind go any given night. You never know what you’re gonna get. Evolution of the Spirit, Rants, Relationships, Kids, Love, Rage, Humor, Opinion…….It’s a work in progress, but it’s been Great for me. http://howlsatmoon.blogspot.com That’s where I tell everyone and yet No one about me.
Should we let the Chinese land on the moon? Absolutely !! In fact, All of them. Hmmm…except for the Chinese that live in the States ‘cuz they’re “Mericans and I really like mu shu chicken, and Jackie Chan, (except his latest movie kinda blows). And the fact that with all those Chinese people up there, the moon might spin out of control and off into some distant galaxy and Frank wouldn’t have anything to go “boom”, and I wouldn’t have anything to Howl at.
Screw it. Tell ’em to stay where they are. We got there first and it’s Our flag up there. Besides, I have a financial stake in this. I seem to remember getting drunk and buying a square foot of “Luna Terra” back in the early eighties. Better Dead than Red on My real estate, Commie.
If you commented in the last post asking for participants, you’re still in the running. Thanks to everyone who has participated so far; just because you may not think you’re interesting doesn’t mean we won’t enjoy your story.
Adult ADD is so fascinating – Ooh, something shiny!
Personally, I’d have to fight anyone who COULDN’T tell the difference between mayo and Miracle Whip.
[You can’t can go to hell, that’s what you can do! -Ed.]
You made me sad about your name!! I thought you chose HowlsatMoon because you’ve played “Werewolf: the Apocolypse”. Oh well. Since you mentioned ADD I gotta ask, does Dr. Richard Shay’s nonmedicated treatment for ADD work for adults too?
Welcome to the Ronin Pile!
Where’s the shiny thing? Actually, that’s a simple, but quite accurate assessment,DG. Imagine a tv with picture in picture, but there’s seven of ’em, and they’re all the same size.
Once you’re distracted by the “shiny”, somethin’ else comes along and you tend to forget about the original focus.
Shimauma…..haven’t checked it out, just been doin’ this for two months. Before the diagnosis, and During the big wifely “surprise”, I gave up adult beverages completely and found that meditation, counseling and introspection helped quite a bit.
Problem as, I didn’t realize that there was any “different” way to think.
By the way…..No more serious stuff in these comments, unless it’s a better tuna salad recipe.
Wollf
A fascinating post; a lot of my friends are ADD…
Oops……got distracted, didn’t finish the thought…had to go do a quickie blog.
Anyway, after the non-med work, I was diagnosed and given a “muggle” patch to try. Absolutely night and day. I “thought” I was better. Then I was.
The whole story is over there, but be forewarned, this is the goofy way I write. Heh
I’m pretty sure my Native name would be “Barbecues at all hours”.
Be Be Qaah…..BarBeQue At All Hours. Last syllable pronounced Kah’Ahh. You BBQ, therefore, you am. Your totem? Obvious…
The Apronned Ram.
Heh
You’re AD&D?
So what level dungeon master are you?
Yo, bruddah. Come on by and chat any time you want. We can talk dad stuff.
Howls, Don’t let Shim’s treatment throw you. She has a thing with spanking and hitting. But only with a safeword first. 😉
Ya know, she really hooked me with that. Just cruised right over to check the Nonmedical Treatment this mornin’…….
Eeeevil woman. Dammfunny, though. And I have to forgive her, for now I am Ronin. heh
“I’m pretty sure my Native name would be “Barbecues at all hours”.”
It’s like you read my mind. BBQ is a way of life. It could also be ‘Sitting Brisket’ or ‘Dances with Spare Ribs’ I’m also pretty sure mine should just be ‘Crazy Talk’
