Changes

I mentionned in my introduction post that I might in the future dedicate this blog to politics and move my personal posts to a secondary blog. Yesterday after some thinking, I opened up a new blog where I reposted all of my personal blog posts that I had up here. You can find the link on the left, or by clicking here. I will be updating both on a regular basis so if you liked the gaming stuff I had on here so far, I recommend you also visit my personal blog and add it to your bookmarks!

First post, author's introduction.

Hey there guys, thanks for visiting my new blog! After years of reading other people's lives and thoughts on their own blogs, I thought I would create one for myself. As you will discover (if you return to this page in the future), I will post on very different subjects. I might actually have to have separate blogs seeing how some of the things I am passionate about have absolutely nothing in common. In this blog you will find politics/society related opinions, interesting finds (whether videos, pictures or stories), video game related stuff as well as a lot of random rantings on pretty much anything I feel like writing about.

About me
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.
