THE IRISH!

APPARENTLY NOT DESTINED FOR GREATNESS...

About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4My name is Alex. I am 30+ years of age. My wife's name is Kerrie, and I have 4 beautiful girls. Sometimes I fart in their general direction. I could stand to lose a little weight, but I really like to eat...a lot. I also enjoy some beer now and then, but i'm The Irish so you should have already known that. It's like the old joke goes; "why did God invent beer? so the Irish wouldn't rule the world!" Anyhow, I'm into the Father,Jesus and the Holy Spirit and try to live life accordingly, but I'm more of an example of His grace rather than His holy perfection. Basically I'm a work in progress, but I'm running to win the prize. John Wimber, the founder of the Vineyard churches used to say "I'm just a fat man trying to get to heaven"...I can relate to that with every pair of pants I eventually have to get rid of to make room for a bigger sized pair. I believe God is inescapable, and if you think otherwise you are lying to yourself or being decieved. If even the path of Druidism finds it's end and fullness in Jesus, then what exactly is your excuse for not knowing Him? Glaonn na duibheagáin ar a chéile le torann do chuid easanna. (Deep calls unto deep at the roar of Your waterfalls.) All of creation longs for Him, including that soul that is tucked away in your own mortal shell. May the freedom of Christ be yours!I'm really into music, heavily, and spend a good part of what little "spare" time I have reading about music, burning CD's from friends and for friends, dreaming up new music, etc. I have absolutely fallen in love with the whole Viking / Celtic / Folk / Death metal genre that has really taken off recently, as evidenced by so many bands finding their muse in that direction (check the Gathering of Clans Folk Metal Encycolpedia @ www.truemetal.org/metalmagick/index2.htm if you don't believe me. I most recently did vocals in Given the Grave...a grind/metalcore/deathmetal/chaos band in Albuquerque, NM, but that band came to an end because of a bunch of gay drama.I am a good friend, until my trust is betrayed. I like to think I treat my freinds well, which is why I don't go through freinds as quickly as some people I know. I am less social than I used to be. I used to think I was suppossed to be a pastor or something, but the simple fact is that I don't like people very much. People pretty much suck in general. Politically, I am VERY Conservative, and I feel totally unrepresented at this point by my elected leaders, so I have to go with who offers up common sense at the moment. Hopefully things will change in our country. We cannot afford for the libs in power to lead us down the parade of chaos, kissing our enemies' hands (bonus points if you catch the Zao reference), and we cannot endure a hard turn to the right either, or we'll end up with an unchecked dictator on our hands. People need to WAKE UP! As Dr. Michael Savage says, "Borders, Language, Culture"! Those three ingredients, overseen and entrusted to God Almighty, are the only things that will save America from heading right straight into the very bowels of Hell itself. When a great Nationalist party (non-racist, non-sectarian, non-secular) rises up I will be the first to sign up, because the liberalism that is running rampant in our government, our institutions of learning, and in our families is a poison that will eat us from the inside out, and it has to stop or this nation, and the people in it, will be DOOMED.I'm not on MySpace much, and my site is nothing great because I'm too busy working and raising children to spend much time wasting time...but if I'm on hit me up. I'm always down to talk about music, Jesus, and what's up fo' the weekend. Other than that, I'd just rather be at home, spending time with my girls or just enjoying some valuable alone time with a good book.Jah love, rawk and role, etc.Zao - Lesser Lights of Heaven

In other words, learn a language, and through that learning preserve it.
