For my old edits to this account before I purged the password in a unsuccessful CLEANSTART see Special:Contributions/Secret (renamed)., for my username from August 2005 - September 2007, see Special:Contributions/Jaranda
Currently I'm extremely frustrated with the community over their complete inability to get over old grudges. A couple of good administrators left the project recently because of this. My reconfirmation RFA sunk because of this as well (half the people who opposed my most recent RFA was because I had conflicts with during my time in the project, nothing to do with stress, they only used it as a excuse, I could show diffs if needed). Seriously if it wasn't because my article specialties is where some of the worst WP:BLP related junk happens, sports and hip hop related articles, I would have left the project a long time ago. But because some of these edits takes days to revert, I guess I'm stuck for now.
I'm from Miami Beach, Florida. I currently work as a office manager for a car dealership, and I do nightclub managing and promotions on the side. I was an fourth year history major at Florida International University, but I had to stop going to school this semester because of financial aid issues related to my health (insomnia). I have an mental disorder, which makes me "crazy" according to some members of the community, but I'm currently stabilized with my medications, specifically Seroquel and Welbutrin. I basically self-desyopped myself in a "mania attack". The only thing wrong with me right now is that it's not stress, (I could handle the online stress of this project), but mainly a bipolar depressive disorder, possibly caused by PTSD. That led me to cause my mania attacks. My doctor recently replaced my mood stabilizer which I started to getting serious side-effects, including my first mania episode in a very long time, which I recovered and asked for a temporary block, with an anti-depressive and my health significantly improved since.
On Wikipedia I am a former administrator from July 1, 2006 to December 2009 (though i was inactive for a bit). I got desysopped by ArbCom under a cloud in December 2009, during a time in which I was "unstable". These mania attacks more or less stopped six months later.
I'm willing to do an RFA again, health-willing but after at least six months, and if several users I trust says go for it (will mention on a subpage) or if ArbCom can do an exception.
More information to come, including administrator instructions on how to deal with my illness if my behavior on wiki ever becomes affected.
In Wikipedia I have a varsity of interests. These include baseball, American football, basketball, and hip hop/r & b articles. I'm also interested in copyright cleanup in this project, and the interworkings of how the project work. I'm a keen observer of policy, and if you see me make a mistake, let me know. Depending on how much free time I have, I'll write articles on little known athletes, or athletes that I think is significant enough to have a top quality article. Other time if my time is spotty or limited, I'll vandal fight, copyvio and spam patrol or check my watchlist. If I'm bored at home, I'm in IRC as Aranda56.
