I am here for Friends

About Me

I am a 29 year ofl Christian man. I think it takes about three months of working with me to get a full range of my character. I have almost been done with my bachelor degree in Philosophy for about two years... I work at Outback and am working towards a teaching credential. Someday I will be dead and everything I have worked for will be gone except the things that have really been God working through me. I am striving to maximize these... even this striving is only God working through me.

My Interests

Faith, discusion, relationships, integrity, reading, politics, philosophy, truth, ideals and ideas

I'd like to meet:

I owe Ray Bradbury a letter. I feel bad about it. I should have written him like ten years ago.

Music:

Music is only an okay thing in my life. The radio is pretty likely to change after each song.

Movies:

I am a movie snob. I appreciate a good piece of garabage but it should be a really truly special genre defining piece of garbage. "The Big Hit" comes to mind. But other than that if it won an Oscar I would probably like it. My pick for best movie of all time would be the original "Rocky." And yes "Wild Strawberries." I scoff at those who scoff at "Wild Strawberries."

Television:

I don't watch much tv. I like movies better.I enjoy some science fiction and hip edgy comedy. "Arrested Development" was the last show I thought worth watching with regularity. Futurama is good.

Books:

C.S. Lewis, Ray Bradbury, William Shakespeare, John Steinbeck, Earnest Hemmingway, Flannery O'Conner... I feel weird with my list of authors because so many of them seem too only say I like to read. Who doesn't like Shakespeare or Steinbeck? Flannery O'Conner is a sneaky add after a bunch of celebreties.

Heroes:

lol, Jesus of course.But not because of blah blah blah. I mean it is only called "blah blah blah" because so many people have said it without backing it up. I am not saying I always back it up but I am trying with Jesus's help to back it up and to give real meaning to blah blah blah.

My Blog

Wussies

There was an earthquake yesterday evening and everyone at the Satrbucks is a bunch of wussies. I was a little worried because I was sitting right next to the large window but there is no way it wasn't...

Love is like water down a drain

At the end of Bible Study last night Dusty said I was his mentor. Dane said he looked up to me. John didn't say anything but I know the same is true with him. I don't know how to react. I am encourage...

Unhappy at Fremont Outback

I am not happy at Fremont Outback. It is a pretty good job. I make decent money, and I am comfortable. But I do not feel respected by the management. I give 100% and I do a good job (some say a real g...

Grading Wes Anderson Films

Bottle Rockets: P  I haven't seen the movie so I don't know how good it is but it automatically gets a passing grade in a credit/no credit system because it has Luke Wilson. Any movie with Owen o...

Darjeeling Limited

So I saw the new Wes Anderson movie "Darjeeling Limited." I didn't have a strong emotional reaction and I am not sure that is what I should have. But then again considering the scattered state of my b...

What I learned from "Waiting"

Almost a college boob movie but no one in college and no boobs. But one thing I learned from the movie is funny. There is a character who develops a fear of using public restroom because he sees someo...
