About Me

Ah, but I would rather you drew your own conclusions.

My Interests

God (Christian), Poverty, World Peace, Human Rights, Family and Friends, Music, Fantasy Books, Capitalizing the First Letter of Most Words, & Vegan Food.

I'd like to meet:

Now it's not that I'm against meeting new people. Not at all. But what I came for was to connect to those that I already knew. A good freindship is worth the effort of holding onto, and sometimes that means reaching acoss cyberspace. So here I am.

Music:

George Winston's Variations on Pachabel's Cannon is my favorite song, and Winston and Pachabel basically share the title of favorite musicians. I also like Weezer, Green Day, Tchikovsky, The Strokes, CCR, Cold Play, Swing Music, and Copeland to name a few. Basically its Alternative/Pop, Classical, Classic Rock, and Swing for me, probobly in that order.

Movies:

Clue, The Princess Bride, A Few Good Men, Willow, Schindler's List, to name a few from the very top. I'm generally very easy to please with movies (except horror) but also very hard to impress.

Television:

As a kid I was supposed to have a limit of two hours a day, which I usually exceeded by quite a lot. Now weeks go by where I don't watch two hours of t.v.

Books:

The Bible, Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit, the Phantom Tollbooth, Goodnight Moon, basically anything by Terry Pratchett, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Catch 22

Heroes:

Jesus, Mother Teresa, Gandhi

My Blog

Rhapsody Reality Check

Good decisions I've made of late: 3)  Buying Harry Potter in Spanish.  Despite being full of words and phrases I don't understand, I'm really enjoying and it's definately good for my Spanish...

The best of both worlds

I spent most of my day researching my potential grad programs via the internet.  It’s Cesar Chavez day here in California, and I love that my office closes on all official court holidays.&n...

Off I go

As I sit here at the church waiting for my ride to get here, I feel it’s a good time to let people know that I’m off to Nicaragua tonight.  I promise to take pictures, and may even up...

Out of gas

So for the first time ever I ran out of gas last night - at a gas station.  Literally.  My car didn't die until I was actually inside the gas station.  If I hadn't panicked slightly and...
