Appalachian Patria

Appalachian Intellectual. To me that means plain thinking. I am A Non Commissioned Officer in the Army Reserves. Let me say...My views expressed here are mine and not those of The U.S. Army, Army Reserve or my fellow brethren in The National Guard. This is entirely Sua Sponte. This is My Thinking. I'm single and in my mid 30's. Politicaly, I'm a Libertarian. (Again, Sua Sponte.I do not represent the Libertarian Party.)I love my native Appalachia, Rock n Roll and...I love God.

About Me

Name:
Location: Brevard, North Caroilina

I started blogging for two reasons. I was concerned about the changes to the area I live in, Southern Appalachia and I was about to go to the war. I was in Iraq in 06 and 07 and now Kuwait in 11 and 12. Blogging was a means of documenting my experiences and hoping it would help gain clarity. I don't feel that way about it any more. It's said people write blogs because they are frustrated, that's why people read them too. That makes us sound apocalyptic. Are we? Let it be said, what I say here is of my own thinking. This is entirely Sua Sponte and not an official representation of the U.S. Military or the U.S. Government as a whole.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Be it known this day of our Lord, the 8th of Febuary 2005, that the name of this Blog will be changed from Hill Billy Rave to Appalachia Patria effective in seven day's time. The address will be http://applachiapatria.blogspot.com
Seriously folks, in a conversation between me and Chris Estes, he gave me his concern over the name Hill Billy Rave(it came from an inside joke between me and Jello Boy). To many the name hill billy invokes thouhgts of backwardness. Do a search for Hill Billy Rave and you get "Hill Billy Rave Up". With references to Hayseed Dixie doing AC/DC tunes on Banjo's. Almost went to one of their shows once, but, opted not to.
I once told a Liberal that I was an Appalachian Patriot and she thought I was prejeduce and in a "militia". No. I'm true to the cause of my Appalachia. I joke about myself being a Hill Billy and I'm rather proud of my Mountain Heritage. Appalachia Patria fits better though. Appalachian Intellectual is plain thinking.
