Well time to update, again. I'm tired of that super long and pointless survey!!

ME


I play too many games.
I got 8/16 on the 8-Bit Gamer test.
Take the test!UPDATES**I've decided to add this snippet in first. My love language is Words of Affirmation. I've come to the conclusion recently. I used to think it was physical touch, then I had a point where I actually wanted to reject someone's physical touch... not that it was a creepy or bad touch, but I had too much.
I can also recall telling my ex-girlfriend that as long as we're talking we're okay. But, when we go without talking for a few days that's when I get distant. So, it is definatly Words of Affirmation.
This is important for my friends to know, because I feel loved the most when someone communicates with me. If they lines of communication are cut, I have a hard time feeling their love.
I go NUTS if I don't get a voicemail about my business for more than 12 hours!!**
I guess what I really want to say is that I'm a normal human being. Crap happens for me too, and I sweat and burp and all that. I think that's really all anyone needs to know about someone else is that they are just human.
Well, I'm a project kind of guy. I have the starts of a cartoon/comic strip, a video game, and umpteen movies started. So, that's fun... If I ever get some stuff together I'll have a bunch of fun to pass onto the world.
Basically I just realizing I've got a lot of loose ends, and I'm trying to tie them off. I really want nothing more than to pursuit my goals and just focus in on them, but there's all these little road blocks. I just need to get some momentum going so I won't notice them, is all.
UPDATE**But, I'm currently building a business outside of my job. Owning a biz while trying to keep your wits, job, friends, and relationships straight can cause a lot of termoil. But, I'm just sick and tired of being sick and tired. I want control of my time. Everytime I have to stay late at work all I can think is, what if I had kids!? What if little Timmy and I had plans, or he was in a big game?! (No I don't think I'll really name my kid Timmy, but who knows.) So, I am bound and determined to take control of myself for myself. I'm buying ME BACK!
I am happy to annouce that I have made more this year (Jan-Feb) than I did the whole of last year in my business. If that isn't a blessing I don't know what is!! Now if I just keep that pace till September I'll be right were I want to be.**Well, this is turning more into a blog than an about me, but there you go... that's me... when I haven't slept and it is 6 AM and I don't want to go to sleep cause I don't want to miss church. Oh yeah... I'm a Christian. That's why all that other stuff is important, because even though I'm different in that, we're all still the same... trying to overcome our flaws and just have more good days than bad.

Family

I have a pretty cool family. I have an older brother, who lives in New York... like Niagra/Canada area. I also have two younger sisters, 6 and 10... for now. :] Roni is just starting Kindergarten, which is crazy!! And same is in 5th grade!! It's nuts. Sam won't eat off the kid's meal anymore either... oi vey, their not mine and their still growing up way to fast.My mom works at Ivy Tech and knows like a billion people... or at least they know her. That's cool and all, but it'd be nice if she could be full time with my sisters, so that is my goal... to make that extra were I can just give it to her to be with my sisters... for real.

Feel free to borrow this survey I made.


Rebirth:
When were saved?July 2005
Is there any story to it?I grew up going to church off and on, and it never felt right till I heard my friend Larry Winters talking about God.
What kind of baptism did you have?Full Submerssion
Are you a convert from another religion?Nope.
Your Church:
Have you found a church home?Yes. The Bridge
What makes you feel at home there?The Music, and the minister. He's a hoot, but he tells everyone how imperfect he is... so we have no pretensions!
What kind of music do they play?Christian Contemporary with a full electric band.
Ministry:
What do you think God's gift to you is? (Besides Jesus)I am becoming awesome at being liked very quickly. The technical term is I'm becoming very relatable. If that isn't powerful for ministry, well it just is.
What is your ministry?My business, I am using it to help my community and show a good example of a Christian Leader.
Misc:
Have you found God's mate for you?I honestly don't think so.
How many times have you read the Bible?Never all the way through.
Favorite Scripture?Zech 9:12 "I promise this very day that I will repay you two blessings for each of your troubles."
Any comments for people reading this?God is awesome, following God did mean I had to change a lot, but it doesn't make me perfect, and it never will. There really is a lot more I'd like to say to people, but it's hard to put in words yet.

My Interests

Cooking! Check this out! My Shirt Site This could be my first house... right around 2009.
The big cabinet is a secret passageway!! How sweet is that view? And it's in Indy! Check out the meditation room/window sill. I think I'll put in some reading chairs and just make a seperate zen room.

But then of course, here's one I just found... downside is I'd have to build, upside INDOOR POOL!

I'd like to meet:

Well first of all I'd like to meet Robin Williams, cause he's nuts!

Secondly, I'd like to have a meeting with Jake Baker and Larry Winters, cause they're my heros. If you don't know who they are... don't worry about it. :) UPDATE**It's not a wish anymore, I know exactly what I have to do to get there, so why don't I just do it?!**

Friends

Well aside from the people below I have an awesome team of people that I do business with, most of them don't use MySpace. But I've got an awesome mentor named Mike, his pic in my pics. He's just a great guy, if everyone could just change 10% of what he did in 200% of the time, the world would be so much better. I also will give a shout out to the Perkins crew... we're not there anymore, but we had some good times. That's were most of my cool stories come from. Man, hanging out at a diner seems really dull, but we just had the right personalities... or personality disorders to do it!I won't name names, cause it's so early I don't want to skip anyone, but you all rock!Then we have my theater friends, and Phi Theata Friends... I miss you all tons, because I don't make the time just yet for that kind of stuff. But stuff is coming in the future, you just wait and see!!Lastly we have all my band friends. But those guys all rock because they're chasing a dream... and honestly nothing can stop them.:]

Music:

In Highschool: Silverchair, Stabbing Westward, Bloodhound Gang College: The Killerz, Postal Service, Incubus Now: All that plus: The Future, Autovaugh, Bang Bang Bang, Slehj, Life After Bed.. indie bands rock. Some More: Sugarcult, Remy Zero, John Mayer But Also: Casting Crowns, FFH, Salea, etc. Best Band Ever: The Fallen (j/k it was my band I tried to make back in 2002.) .."000000"Upcoming jam sessions!

Television:

I'm trying to quit TV so I'll write something else in here instead... I changed the exceprt because I refound James!The main characters are vincent and jonas, vince is an aspiring writter who has writters block.SCENE IIKathy goes about her work cleaning other tables and preparing for the eventual influx of guests as dinner rush approaches. Jonas receives and eats his fries. The camera leaves the two friends following Kathy for a while until a chime is heard signifying the door. The camera plays curiosity and zooms toward the door reaching it as it opens. In thru the door walk a lone male, JAMES. James is one of our duo’s many friends/acquaintances. James is a free thinker, so to speak. He comes up with quips and humor that only he seems to see. A few others in the group come close to understanding, but in most instances he only serves to break monotony as opposed to offering advice, insight, or anything of a constructive nature. Back to the story... James walks in, he quickly glances about to check who’s on duty, who’s seated where, etc. He notes the CASHIER with a nod and walks up to the hostess stand, leaning on it while glancing around the previously hidden portion of the restaurant. James sees his friends, Vincent and Jonas, seated at the back table and proceeds past the hostess stand. He walks to a booth near them and sits down facing them.JONAS How’s it going, James?JAMES I’m doing alright. I just got off work, so I thought I’d see who all was here. It’s bad enough being here this early, let along sitting in the wrong seat! I can only take so much change before I just have to blow everything up and start all over again.JONAS (humoring James) Yeah, I know just what you mean. So, how’s work?JAMES Not bad, but you can only stuff so many dead animals before it’s just time to call it quits and head home for the day. JONAS I know what you mean…JAMES So, what’s with Vince?JONAS Well, you see… he has this big assignment…VINCE Must you talk about this in front of me while I’m trying to work?! Can I get no peace?!JONAS Line for the script?VINCE No. I mean it. I came here to concentrate and...JONAS Dude... this is a restaurant. Relax!Since noone is taking him seriously, Vince decides to shut up and focus in on his work. As Vince zones out the camera becomes (POV Vincent)and focuses in on the document writing program open on his laptop. The focus becomes the blinking cursor on a blank document·FADE TO: BLACKEND SCENE II
