Off topic: I am...a carpet swatch
Submitted by Thundercloud on Wed, 01/14/2009 - 00:17
Yes, it's true, I am a carpet swatch.
My member name, Thundercloud, is the name of the carpet color in my old house. I picked it from a pile of other colors. It was either Thundercloud, or Fawn Brown..I thought Thundercloud sounded a bit tougher.
So..How did you choose YOUR member name?

And I am a large Ron Paul fan.
Makes perfect sense.
I am the geek/nerd in the group
I got mine from reading to many star wars novels as a kid. I literally still have over seventy three hundred + page books that are all star wars. In star wars there is a sentient being known as a dufel that's skin absorbs light (I think it is only brought up in like the admiral thrawn series trilogy in star wars and it is mentioned in KOTOR II). Well the dufel's were also known as wraith.
Wedge Antilles who is the only star wars figure to fly down both death stars and survive (In the first movie a new hope he was the guy that had to pull out in the death star trench run, in the second move empire strikes back he was the guy that started taking down the at-at's with the tow cable and he also was the guy that found luke in the snow, in the third movie he was the guy that flew next to the Falcon and was the guy that lando told to go shoot the north tower of the core of the death star) well anyway he becomes head of rouge squadron and after hundreds of pages of comic book series they gave him a book series called X-wing series (very entertaining series no jedi crap) the first four books are about the rebuilt rouge squadron and the fifth one is about wraith squadron. Wraith squadron is a unit that is built with intrusion skills first and fighter pilot skills second. Since dufel's were apparently scary monsters (the star wars version of bogey man) during the book wraith squadron they came up with the name wraith squadron.
So since I like star wars and I like the star ships and star fighters of star wars best I chose my name based on there squadron but since I knew so much about star wars it could not be something everybody would know was star wars off of the bat no it had to be something more complicated than that.
The reason why I choose thirteen is because wraith is usually taken. And since there are twelve pilots in a star wars squadron I decided I was going to be thirteen. Not to mention thirteen is my lucky number.
Besides Since this world is so dark i thought what could be darker to them than a creature of light? TO them light is darkness and darkness is light so the name wraith fits real well with me.
Not much to tell:
The short explanation from wikipedia is,
In British English and traditional American English usage, a tramp is a long term homeless person who travels from place to place as an itinerant vagrant, traditionally walking or hiking all year round.
As a child I would walk anywhere I wanted to be and it didn't matter how far it was. As a young teen, I took off on a cross country walk that started in MD. and ended in NM. Just to turn around and head back. I once hiked the whole C&O Canal and always wanted to do the Appalachian trail from Maine to Georgia, but lost a leg 19 years ago and I'm not too sure I could handle it anymore.
Once I was old enough to drive, I hopped on a Harley and no one ever knew where or when I might show up. The name came from my biker friends along with all of the jokes and kidding about the tooth brush always sticking out of my pocket. I love to travel around and am hoping to be able to do allot more of it before I have more dirt over me then under me. None of that sissy flying tourist stuff either. Just take whatever you can carry and enjoy these united states like they should be enjoyed. A free man. I have met many friends that I have kept for a life time and allot of them don't even know my real name, but they know my heart, and that's the most important part.

I had often thought about writing a book:
I have had some really great journeys. I remember most of them too. LOL
But I'm not much of a writer. I do have a journal of about four hundred pages that I intend to give to my youngest son later because it is written about all of the things we did on a daily basis between the ages of two and six. He is now 14 and just like most teens, I'm an idiot that doesn't know anything. But in the past year, he has become more interested and educated in American history and really seems to be interested in what I have learned and tried to share about patriotism, true freedom, and the integrity it takes to try and do the right things. I just hope some of it rubs off on him.

Thank you:
I have been told that I am a good story teller, but I think that just comes from having great experiences to tell stories about. I have been somewhat stagnant in recent years and am currently working on changing that. The RP crowd has me so up on getting out of debt that I am trying to sell my house to move to a more reasonable place and have no mortgage. That is the only debt I have ever had. But I have raised two boys and they had to have a place to hang their hat. The one that is still here is up for a new adventure, so here we go.
I want to move to north east TN. mountains as a home base because it is so beautiful there and TN. firearm laws are so much better then here. With no monthly debt, I can take off on little journeys all the time. Plus it will afford me the opportunity to fight this battle a little better.

Prepare & Share the Message of Freedom through Positive-Peaceful-Activism.
Cool thread, I've always wondered.
Well mines pretty simple, I guess. I want the constitution to be used again. Right now it's a dried up shell of what it used to be, and I want to bring it back to life. So I took the word "reconstitute" which means to constitute again; reconstruct; recompose. or to return (a dehydrated or concentrated food) to the liquid state by adding water: to reconstitute a bouillon cube with hot water....Wow, now that I'm reading this, it sounds like I see the Constitution as some meal you'd take backpacking. It's just sopposed to be a play on words. Plus it has the words recon, and tit in it which is pretty bad ass. And the 001 is a James Bond reference, which was cool until I found out that the zero's stand for "eyes" and the "7" is a reference to the queen. 007 = Eyes of the Queen. So I think I might be dropping the 001.

so I resort to an old Gr. 2 joke I remember:

The funnier part of the story is that it took me until about Gr. 6 to figure out the joke! I blame this on public education. 8]

Professor Bernardo de la Paz, the "rational anarchist" and randy old man, is one of the principle characters in Heinlein's brilliant The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. I so loved the book that I gave my daughter a variation of another central character's name: Autumn Selene. And then, to be really geeky and fanboyesque, I also gave her Supergirl's Kryptonian name (Kara Zor-El).
The State of Oregon absolutely adored printing out her birth certificate.
