About Me




A Little About Me...I’m an adult who doesn’t like to act like one. I have no intention of ever growing up; yet most of the time I feel like the most mature person in whatever room I happen to be in.

I love God above everything else. I keep his attention by screwing up a lot.

I felt a calling, just after high school, to become a minister. I fought that calling for several years before finally giving in. I didn’t think I could do what God was asking me to do. Once I recognized that God wouldn’t request me to do anything I wasn’t (or wouldn’t one day be) capable of, I came to my senses and started down the right path.

I was enrolled in a local tech. school, trying to get my general education classes out of the way, so that some day soon I could, hopefully, transfer to a four year college, and then eventually to seminary. Unfortunately, my weak mathematics skills seem to have finally caught up with me. I failed Algebra II so many times that I lost my financial aid. Coincidentally, I also lost my job about the same time. So I’m currently stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place. I no longer qualify for grants or loans for school, and I also can’t afford to pay my own way at the moment. As a result, school is on hold until I find a job and save up a little bit of money.

I’m a creepy gothic kid, at heart, 24/7, but these days I don’t often have the opportunity to dress the part. I outgrew most of my gothy clothes thanks to a combination of quitting smoking, and side effects from the medication I’m on. Plus, I have no social life to speak of :), so the way I look is pretty low on my priority list at the moment.

I love to read and listen to music. I like fishing and swimming. I guess I spend most of my free time on the computer or reading though. I enjoy plants and gardening too. This year I started a permanent herb garden, and I also began experimenting with bonsai.

When I get a chance to go out, I like hitting the thrift stores and swap meets. I also like going to movies. And, of course, I go to church on Sundays.

I attend NewSpring church in Anderson. We’re one of the fastest growing churches in the country. There’s never a dull moment at NewSping. Perry (the senior pastor) is something of a role model of mine. I hope that when I get my own church someday, I’m able to be as energetic and true to the Lord as Perry is.

My Interests










Places I like to go, and things I like to do, on the Web.

The Hunger Site. A click a day will feed a starving child. No B.S. They’re for real.

NewSpring Community Church. This has been my church home for about 3 years now. You can download any of the sermons here too.

I Am Bored.Com Fun, weird and interesting places to visit when you have nothing better to do.

FUGLY. COM Lots of great humor. Some of it’s in bad taste though – so it’s not for the easily offended.

Goths For Jesus. This isn’t the best Gothic Christian site on the Web, but it contains a list of links to several much better pages.

Guess the Dictator and/or Television Sit-Com Character is the best artificial intelligence game on the World Wide Web.

The Official Website of Bob Geldof , my favorite songwriter, musician and humanitarian.

FirstGov.gov. The place to go when you want to decide who to vote for, or to figure out if the person you did vote for is doing a good job.

The Order of Former Freemasons helps to shine a very powerful light on the evils of Freemasonry.





Josey My sweet baby. My best friend. I miss you more than words can express. I pray with all my heart that animals have souls. Heaven won't be half as sweet unless I am reunited with you there.


Myshka She's a spoiled rotten, houseplant destroying, cover hogging, dog attacking, chair stealing pain in the neck. But I love her anyway.



I'd like to meet:

On MySpace: I’d like to meet new and interesting people, who aren’t fakes and who aren’t pretentious. I have already made several new friends through MySpace and I hope to make many more.

If I could meet ANYBODY, be they still on Earth or already gone to be with the Lord, I’d want to meet, among others…

Music:

I despise rap and hip-hop. With those two exceptions, I love all types of music. I’m particular about the individual artists I listen to, but I have very diverse tastes. I enjoy everything from Gregorian chants to aggressive, pounding punk, and everything in between. I like it all. Below are a few of my favorites.

Movies:

I feel that movies are an art form. A well made movie is one of the most wonderful forms of art indeed. There is no particular genre that I favor. A good movie isn’t necessarily good because of (or JUST because of) the subject matter. Below are a few of my favorites, but only a few.

Television:

I don’t watch too much TV. Most of what I do watch consists of documentaries and news programs. I do like a few “regular” shows though.

Books:

Being a Christian, and a Theology major, The Holy Bible is, of course, my favorite book. However, I read a great deal. I like all kinds of books, and I read a wide variety of authors and genres. For some reason I’ve found that I REALLY relate to a number of Russian writers. So, Russian literature is my favorite fiction.

Diet update 3-6-7

I got WAY off track with my diet for a while. I would try to do good, and then dad would order a pizza, or want to go out to eat. Having zero willpower, I would give in and eat. As of today though, Da...
