Author's introduction

Here it is! My personal blog. I know I had just opened "The Frenchie's Pit" but with the rate at which I was posting articles, it appeared clear to me that mixing my political blogs with random posts about my personal interests or personal life would not be very effective and would confuse or turn away readers. Since my objective with that blog is to focus on politics, the decision was fairly easy and I have now moved all of my articles from "The Frenchie's Pit" into this new blog, which for now is named "Momentary lapse of reason" (subject to change). As this page may be the first blog of mine that you read, I will also include a modified copy of my introduction from my political blog in this post.(political blog which you can find under "my links" on the left) here. I will also repost here all of my gaming related blog posts from the political blog, which will remain "The Frenchie's Pit". I hope you enjoy the new concept, as I think it will allow those who you who read my blog for gaming/music/lifestyle/poker related posts will now find only this type of post in here and the politically savvy of you can still visit my main blog. I would also like to hear from you guys, leave a comment to this post with ideas and opinions if you wish to be heard.

Introduction (from "The Frenchie's Pit", my political blog)

Well to start off, my names Francis Cloutier, I am 21 years old and as you may have noticed from my last name, my first language is french (so please excuse the occasionnal typo). I live in Canada, in the eastern part known as the province of Quebec (the french part of Canada, basically). I currently work as a day trader on the NYSE and NASDAQ as well as playing poker on the side for additionnal income. I am an avid fan of politics, personally a libertarian (right wing) and member of the provincial party known as the ADQ (Action Democratique du Quebec), the only conservative party in the province, currently sitting as the opposition in the house of commons. I also am a conservative voter on the national level, but not a big fan of Mr. Harper, our current conservative prime minister. Outside of politics and poker, I play some online video games, a hobby I have picked up during high school and have enjoyed ever since and am also obssessed by cars and racing (mostly Formula 1, ALMS, IRL, not a big fan of Nascar). I read a lot, about pretty much anything, although I have a preference for historical and political books, as well as science fiction (all hail Frank Herbert's "Dune" series). As you can see on the left side, I posted some links to other pages I maintain, my poker blog on liquidpoker.com as well as my Youtube channel.
