Howdy... TALK TO ME!!! lol

About Me

Alright, Here goes nothing,
My name is Reed. I guess most people find me strange, but it's the ordinary people that are so bland. I love work and as many people already know, I talk about my job constantly.
I had a teacher in eighth grade that is as eccentric as anyone. She had a saying that "Addictions are not meant to be controlled; that's why they're addictions, silly." She would say that she didn't try to control her addictions... I must say that her philosophy on addictions is quite a good one. I've since then, learned not to control my addictions, but keep them from controlling me. I have but one major addiction, and that is to love.
Call me a hopeless romantic but I love to love and be loved.
As far as drinking, I do. I don't drink enough to call it an addiction; smoke- I'm a social smoker. Someone says "I'm going to have a smoke," and I say "Social I" ;)


What I know of myself, I will share when asked. What I do not know about myself, I shall seek to understand.

Although the measure of any man is the number of tears which he can cry, my name means "Courage". When I was born, I was given a verse from the Holy Scripture: Joshua 1:9. I always try to live by it, and trust in the Lord's guidance; however, lately God and I haven't really been talking much. I hope that will change soon, but it's me that must change. God always walks the righteous path.


My Interests



&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp My interests include all sorts of things. I have a passion for music. I play the piano fairly well (by ear), I play the bass guitar fairly well, I play the guitar, drums, and sax (to the best of my ability, which sucks). I love books, reading quietly. I like coffee while I'm reading. I like hanging out with friends, going out. I love to lay outside late at night and look at stars. All that fun stuff. I also love meeting new people. I think we're put on this planet to love others and so I'm determined to fall in love with everyone- Even if I don't like you.

I'd like to meet:

I wouldn't mind meeting many people. I think the most fun to chat with would be Jesus. From what I've read he was a pretty smart guy. And perhaps He could settle this whole Christian... thing. Also, Einstein and Freud would be fun to argue with (in a Socratic way, of course). I think that I'd also like to meet the first chicken, so it could settle this whole chicken/egg... thing.
In all seriousness, I love meeting new people. I don't think I've ever met a stranger, which is good, considering my mother's careful instruction. If you feel like you'd care to chat, shoot me a message on here. I have a little extra time on my hands occasionally. I love people of all shapes, sizes, creeds, and colors. +

Music:

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I LOVE music so much... it's my comfort when I'm sad and lonely- all that good stuff. I was recently introduced to the song "What Dreams are Made of" the ballad version... I love this song, I can play it now too. I like everything from Country, Rock, Opera, to Electronic, Dance, and Jazz... Classical, Acoustic, and Metal... Alternative and Indie... Love it all... Even some Rap is good, all depends on my mood.

Movies:

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I love watching movies with significant people. I can't watch movie very often because of my schedule with work. My favorite types when I do get to though, are: COMEDY!!! and some Dramatic works, I love foreign films and Horror flicks are cool too.

Television:

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp TV still exists? Umm... I don't have time (or a tv) but IF I did, I'd watch Becker, Will and Grace, Reba, and other sitcoms like those. I'd also watch the Discovery Channel and the Nat'l Geographic channel because I'm a geek. I like any show about restaurants too, but I could be a bit biased.

Books:

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp Another favorite past-time of mine. I rarely ever have time to read but when I do, I like Mysteries, I like Tragedy, I love old plays and American Literature. Langston Hughes, Walt Whitman, all of it; writing is beautiful and when it's done with passion, you just can't help but want to read. The new favorite of mine is "Running with Scissors"!!!

Heroes:

&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp I have a few heroes to which I'll dedicate this area: First and most of all, my Nana. She was the most beautiful, smart, elegant, wise, and loving person I've ever known. I learned so much from her while she was still with us and yet, she still teaches me through my memories. Often, as alive people, we forget that memories are so powerful. She was a teacher, a mentor, an authority figure, but most importantly, she was my best friend. She accepted me for who I am and nothing more was said. Since her death, I've realized that many more people have become my hero. For instance, my mother and father... They are both caring and compassionate. They have qualities that I hope to have with my children. My brother, he's competitive, funny, outgoing and he doesn't let life get him down. I admire many more people but I have to say the last one but by far not the least one is my best friend Ross. He's been there for me when no one else was. Ross is by far, the most loving guy I've ever known- through all our fights and fears, he's stuck by my side, and I admire him for being such a great friend, not just to me, but to everyone else too.

Friends and Enemies

I wrote down some thoughts about a friend and his decision.  Then, because it was not about me but someone else, I saved it in a personal folder to provide confidentiality.
