About Me

.. width="425" height="350" ..
I found this on a band's page that recently sent me a friend request. I changed it slightly to fit me. I thought it was pretty awesome, so, I added it to my profile: ............................................................ .............................................. I am a person of existential detectives...asking out loud the questions all of us mutter in our darkened rooms, lying on our beds, wondering if tomorrow will ever come or if we really want it to. demanding answers from creation and the inhabitants thereof...wisdom screaming in the streets for a friend...short on love...available for discipleship. bored...no, angry with easy-bake oven answers. petty answers affixing band-aids over gaping, open wounds. there is a white elephant in the room, and we cannot ignore it anymore. suffering, poverty, economic instability, mental instability, hunger, homelessness, hopelessness, etc., etc. with no answers to these questions begating more questions...why? the most empowering yet humbling word in existence. all creation groans...why? why are not more of us asking why? why all the silence? our collective pulse races with fear, heart ready to explode, no doctor can save...they are part of us. with unity we abandon fear by looking straight into fear and declaring,"you may have beat me down...but what about us." they say,"nothing unifies like a common enemy." well let us unify under the banner of love, to combat the lying liars and the unveiled parlor tricks of mass hypnosis entitled: fear, religion and the dying man. deciding where to abide we choose between many doors...but there is no real choice at all. love is the only answer. but what is the definition? we are asking...are you

My Interests

Just about anything. Just about.Live music!My Concert History (In order of appearance):Mellowdrone I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness She Wants RevengeOnethousand Pictures Mew (was going to see Kasabian that day too, but, read my blog)Run Kid Run Red Disciple KutlessThe Matches +44The Seedy Seeds Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin The ChangesLocksley Under The Influence of Giants The RaptureDead Broke Shadows Fall Lacuna Coil Stone SourDropping Daylight Skillet FlyleafJason Aldean Rascal Flatts

I'd like to meet:

If I were to tell you my life story, would you take the time to listen to it? Tell me what you think? Would you care or just nod and say "uh-huh?" What if I were to tell you the truth. Would you believe me or think its a joke full of embellishments and exaggerations?Would you tell me your life story? I promise I won't laugh. I have the time to listen.

Music:

My favorites as of right now, I guess would probably be Pillar, Skillet, Caedmon's Call, Jars of Clay, Lifehouse, Kutless, POD, Day of Fire; Alice in Chains, Blue October, She Wants Revenge, Death Cab for Cutie, Three Doors Down, Mellowdrone, Onethousand Pictures; Collin Raye, Garth Brooks, Lonestar, Chris LeDoux, Toby Keith, Craig Morgan.(I don't know why people make these huge lists and put it in here.. I would think you'd only put your favorites in here, and if you put a sampling in here, everyone would get the point. I doubt people read anyone's entire list, anyhow.)

Movies:

Mainly "thrillers." Although, I will watch just about anything. I don't really have a current favorite..

Television:

..

Books:

Outside of the Bible, of course, JOHN GRISHAM! That's about the extent of my reading.

My Blog

Who Needs Sleep?

In the last 36 hours or so, I've slept maybe 2 hours. I'm not even all that tired now, nor am I on crack. (I hear that it makes you stay up for days on end?)

Life is perfect..

Isn't it? Through all the ups and downs twists and turns. Funny how one minute things can be looking down and the next it's all ok. Maybe we just try to hide from our shortcomings and run for our stre...

Productivity

I've been rather busy this morning (technically).. I finally cleaned my room (mostly). I still have a little bit of work to do, but, for the most part, it's clean. I was amazed at how much floor space...
