Sam, just Sam

Love wasn't just made for me and you...

About Me

So I've had the same "About Me" on my profile for far too long... so this is me updating... my "About Me".... I love God. I love music. I love people. I love. Love's one of my many "things." These things contribute to my daily walk with God and the God-created world around me. Love definitely affects all that jazz. Love gives me, in my opinion (as in... don't ask my siblings about this), a fairly large amount of patience. Being patient is definitely a challenge at some points (hey, I do work in the fast food industry), but I've found it helps in a lot of sticky situations and prevents an enormous amount of trouble that I could be arguing over if I wasn't patient. So yeah.. I love patience. Practice it. Get used to it. Hot tempered people ( I used to be one in like the fifth grade) make me a little upset... okay.. they make me a lot upset. And I know that sounds hypocritical but it's not.. see I slowly developed a disliking of hot-tempered people... Anyway, yeah, they just annoy me. So there. Thing I love #2... oh, MUSIC! Shyeah. I love it. I love to play it. I love to listen. I love to talk about it. I love to play music everywhere (hence the videos on the right side of the screen.. hence is an awesome word..) I'm extremely musically diverse, and I'm very proud of that fact. Now I don't necessarily love ALL music, but I love ALL types, if that makes any sense. I'll listen to just about anything with exceptions for the fact that most rap, country, and some indie is just too stereotypical for my tastes. It all sounds the same and I can't stand that. I need alterations. I need change.. which leads me to.. Love #3: I love change. Born in Memphis, TN, my family lived in MS at the time. A few months after I was bored we moved to Lake Charles, LA and lived there for about seven years until we had to move again. We stayed at my grandmothers house for a few months in between moves. Next destination was Baton Rouge, LA, where I would live for three years before moving yet again, this time to Franklin, TN- my love and passion expressed in geographical form. Unfortunately, we would only live there for a year before moving to Conway. I lived here for about three years, and it's taken that long to grow on me, but boy has it grown on me. It's going to be really hard to leave these people and places behind. But in any event, that's where God's put me in my life and where's he's moved me. It's all contributed to my love of change and my dislike-tion (Heck yes! Just totally created a new word) of normalty. I'm not officialy ADD but my personality gets shockingly similair to that of an ADD person's at times. So yeah.. I love change, and music, and patience... I love a lot more too: playing my guitar on my roof when it's twilight and no one knows I'm there except God, times when I'm talking to God out loud like He's right in front of me(because He is), reading an entire book in one day(totally possible by the way), having coffee with just about any one, having a conversation with just about anyone(clearly I love to talk too), I'm really good at listening too though so don't think I'd dominate the conversation....( I told you I talked too much), working with my lovely Chick-fil-a peeps, writing poetry and songs and letters and etc., playing with my adorable (yeah that's right, I'm a guy and I just said adorable. WHATCHA GONNA DO BOUT IT FOO!?!) siberian husky, Sophie, and my friends... God, I love my friends. They're each amazing in their own "special" ways :D. OH yeah, and I love to smile and be happy. See, a long time ago, I realized that happiness is a choice. A choice that no one can really make for you, so why would you choose not to be happy? And so from then on, I've remained a pretty happy person. No, I'm NOT GAY(I absolutely L-O-V-E women... even though they're moody, irrational, confusing, complex, and completely beautiful daughters of God), I'm just happy. very happy. So if you're just apathetic about life and you think being happy is overrated, then you can just go sit in your dark little corner and think up your little morbid thoughts about death and sadness and BLAH! ... But don't get me wrong, I still love those people, and there's definitely a poetic and romantic side to depression, but God put too much love into this world to have people being depressed and unsattisfied. And speaking of God.... I love God. With all my heart, soul, mind, strength, body, and life I want to worship Him in everything I do. I know, I know, "big aspirations thur Sam," but I really do. It's honestly the least and maybe the most that I could do. I feel God has called me into the ministry ( fact I'm proud of #2), but I don't know exactly the where, what, and when of all that jazz(second use of cool cliche) yet. But I guess I'll figure all that out later.. you know, when it's all actually happened. :D I'm currently in deep prayer on the subject on my future and my life's purpose, and God's showing me some amazing answers. .... oh and I'm also in a band.. Pucikology... we're amazing...yeah..So there's me. Hope you like me. Don't care if you don't. Have a beautiful day. ~pucik P.S. If you read all of this you get five dollars! P.S.S. Just kidding. P.S.S.S. So, I'm rethinking the five dollars because that was a lot to read.... P.S.S.S. How about a picture of five dollars? Yes, I'll draw you a picture of five dollars if you read all of that.... P.S.S.S. No, nevermind... I forgot... I have no artistic ability what so ever.. except in Samese caligraphy and stick people......

Notice

It's extremely low and irrational to steal some one else's poetry and songs and pretend that they're yours. So don't steal mine. Thanks....
