About Me

Hope...Right now, I am hopeful. Poor, a little lost and confused, yet finding the way, somehow.Blessed, although, no where near capacity.Excited, enchanted, I feel I may be breaking through the cynicism and skepticism of before--maybe people aren't all that bad.Still selfish. Still focused on myself and making me comfortable. It is so hard to leave the comfortable bed on some cold, cold mornings.I remain a man with overwhelming potential, endless possibilities, infinite resources; yet dwindling time. I am seeking to eliminate that which is useless and to utilize that which is essential. I currently am in search of the wisdom to differentiate and the will to perservere

My Interests

prayer, reading, sleeping, Halo 2, complaining, criticizing

I'd like to meet:

A faithful and loyal Baruch... an encouraging and brave Caleb... and an eager, zealous and passionate Peter.

Music:

Smashing Pumpkins and Foo Fighters, the old stand-by's... Sam Cooke gives me my soul... Billy Holiday you sound so fine... Duke Ellington makes me smile... the Gorillaz...well, what can I say.89X it is so good to hear that again

Movies:

i used to like these. it's been a while since i have seen a truly good movie...

Television:

besides the Office and a little bit of the old-school Simpsons...it has nothing to offer.

Books:

still working on The Brothers Karamazov -Dostoevsky; the other books slide in and out of rotation. too many to mention.notables are The Imitation of Christ and The Cost of Discipleship

Heroes:

As I left the city lights behind and headed far into the country, my restless soul and heart searched for something more than I. Something that was worthy of my time and my devotion.  Someth...
