Full Version: Better late than Never
A prelude to Trouble?
Hello everyone, I felt it was time to introduce myself after a several year lurk.
My name is Collin and am come from that fuzzy-distant north pole region called Canada. I share the same birthday as Mr. Edgar Allen Poe and according to my mother am twice as moody
I found America’s Debate a few years ago when I became dissatisfied with the quality of debate both on the net and in the media. I then began my search for outlets of constructive criticism and have made a few friends along the way.
My strong suits are cycling, auto wrecking, investing combined with monetary history and just a bit political science to make things interesting. I am a sucker for talk radio, though if you asked me why I couldn’t tell you.
By day I assess mechanical HVAC systems, by night I tend to trapse around in spandex trousers yelling “NYAR” much to the consternation of my neighbours. Okay not so much on the second part but if you haven’t figured it out by now I like to goof around. I appreciate unpredictability, a passionate view, and flexible perspective which displays genuine awareness.
I find writing about myself a difficult thing. I tend to be on the laconic side and prefer more to listen than to speak, (being an only child might play a hand here). In a forum that lends itself to extroverts, the introvert quickly becomes the sound of a one-hand clap.
My name comes from a series of multiple crises I had endured during my life which have forged me into the surly (but adorable) pessimist you now see today. People would describe me as “Red” off that 70’s Show with a passing resemblance to George Lucas.
I’d like to add that my presence is referred as a lightning rod that brings out the best and the worst of those around me. I can provide many real life examples where my existence is likened to that of the murder of crows who pass by. The real test is when I intermix with the level headed members….can they stay level headed? Stay tuned! Place you bets now!
So there you have it my epic debut, three years in the making where not only did I come stylishly late to the party, but I completely missed the question! Oh wait you weren’t supposed to read that…oh well.
Are you ready for?

I follow the races more than anything. My bike is currently is a Kona Explosive with marrazochi fork. I'm hoping to be more competitive in the future though. What once started as therapy for asmtha is now growing to be a part time sport.
