Every revolution begins with a single act of defiance

About Me

I am not the person I once was. . . And not yet the person I want to become.

My Interests


Your Brain is Blue
Of all the brain types, yours is the most mellow.
You tend to be in a meditative state most of the time. You don't try to think away your troubles.
Your thoughts are realistic, fresh, and honest. You truly see things as how they are.

You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about your friends, your surroundings, and your life. What Color Is Your Brain?

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet Bono and Dylan, I think they have both used their powers for good more than evil. I like that.I would like to meet anyone who can inspire me, and cause me to think about things. I love creative people. I crave being around creativity of any kind. I want to meet people who are nice and who can respect me and my beliefs even if they don't share them. I want to meet HONEST people- I don't care what your story is, I have a ton of GRACE for mistakes and bad choices but I don't have a lot of grace when it comes to being lied too. Even if the truth hurts my feelings, I think I would rather hear it.

Music:

I could go on forever about music. I love tons of different styles. There is not enough room to put all of the artists I listen too. I used to have a list of everyone I've seen in concert in a blog but I can't find it.

Movies:

I love movies. . . I almost never actually go to the theater but I really like going to the movie theater. Usually I'm just too busy. I always forget what movies I like. There are a few that stand out. LOTR, Fight Club, Swingers, Grease, Braveheart, The Patriot, Ok I'll admit it I really like dumb romantic comedies, for example- 10 things I hate about you, chasing liberty, french kiss. ( I know they're bad but I love them)

Television:

House Lost Gilmore Girls CSI- all of them Law & Order Little House on the prarie

Books:

I love books and I love to read. It depends on my mood what I'm into. I'll be more specific in the future. I guess the future is here. . . I just finished a book "through the painted desert" by Donald Miller. Wow - there are so many paragraphs from that book I wanted to type out in a blog so everyone could read them. This book spoke to me in a very deep way. I'm not sure everyone is ready for it or would even connect with it the way that I did. It is just a story of two guys on a 3 month road trip. I dream of understanding life the way that they did.

Heroes:

People who follow their dreams but are still grouded in reality. People who think of others before themselves.
