I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Man, I live in the 'burbs. boitebado on Yahoo messenger. I love music, too, but you'd be from Mars not to like music, right? I'm tired of being used to demonstrate to the masses, so be classy and quit spamming.

My Interests

Football! Professional football, really. American football. And yea, I can probably talk more smack than most of you. Otherwise, I'm weird - apologetics, music, databases and their intrisic code and guacamole. Book collecting. Did I say I was a Texans fan?

I'd like to meet:

That Than Which No Greater Can Be Thought.

Music:

On my MP3 disk right now: Brand New (always!), Snow Patrol, Air, Peter Bjorn & John, and Breaking Benjamin. This might change tomorrow, and maybe not.

Movies:

All time fave is Mansfield Park. So I'm girly. . .Anything that makes you think or has a good plot and a lot of eye candy.

Television:

24, Entourage. Def Poets - especially the funny ones that don't gripe about the injustices of the world, but rather those that reflect on all the good, wholesome, and funny things of life, like touching yourself.

Books:

My all-time favorite authors include a long list of old, dead people. My favorite type of books have to do with a) philosophy, b) theology, c) english literature, or d) a damn good story, like Tristan & Iseult, or something. But you want my top 5 favorite, huh? Here goes, so quit buggin':

    The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis Revelations of Divine Love Julian of Norwich Terre des Hommes Antoine de St.-Exupéry. tra. Wind, Sand and Stars Inferno Dante Aligheri Great Expectations Charles Dickens
Oh, how I could go on and on. . .

Heroes:

The men and women of US Flight 93; John Paul II, Mr. Clive S. Lewis, and Julian of Norwich. Derek Redman -- that man that pulled a hamstring TWICE while competing in the Olympics (1992 Barcelona). Women who take it, live it, and don't cry about it.
