About J. Dakar

J. Dakar

Hi, I’m J. Dakar. I’m sure you’ve heard about me;
if you haven’t, you will.

I currently serve as Political/Commentary Contributor for Concrete Loop, one of the most popular entertainment blogs, and I want you, along with the rest of the world, to do good and do well (DGADW).

About the Site
Created in May 2008, JDakar.com is a personal, entertainment and lifestyle blog that serves as a natural extension of myself into the blogosphere. The site is an online notebook where I share my thoughts on the things I love most.

More About Me
I’m a 24 year old guy loving life and doing what I love.

I’ve been blogging since May 2001 and I graduated from Birmingham-Southern College, one of the nation’s top liberal arts colleges, with a degree in business administration, a minor in political science and a Distinction in Leadership Studies. I also work for a Fortune 100 company that shall remain nameless.

I previously served as one of the youngest members of the Board of Directors of AIDS Alabama and co-founded the Southern Shadows Program, an effort that encourages Birmingham city high school students to pursue their dreams of a college education.

Appearance
I stand at 6’5”, keep my head closely shaven and wear a one-quarter carat diamond stud in each of my ears.

Beliefs
I don’t drink or smoke and consider myself an advocate of both human and animal rights. I am environmentally-conscious and politically, I classify myself as libertarian because individual well-being, prosperity and social harmony are fostered by “as much liberty as possible” and “as little government as necessary”.

Characteristics
I’m a bit enigmatic and I look like I’d probably beat you down and think nothing of it. However, if you truly take the time to get to know me, you’ll realize that’s not the case. I’m pretty laid-back & mellow, but since I’m quite quiet by nature, I’m sometimes perceived as being conceited or arrogant.
