About Me

Salve and welcome! "Let your desires be ruled by reason" - this statement has always exemplified the larger part of my personality.As such, I am a man of order, love, and principle (with appropriate pinches of tenacity and action). Still, I am a friendly and laid-back sort of guy. My loyalty to friends and family knows no bounds, for I hold them in high reverence and honor their names; I would gladly lay down my life for any of them, for their worth transcends my own. I once debated my Ethics professor that friendship was NOT a virtue, that it was instead, merely a social mechanism to integrate oneself into society; at the time, I took my friends for granted. I realize now, that I was wrong, for to discount friendship is to discount love, and love is the greatest of all virtues. Once upon a time, I sought, in my own pride, to validate my place amongst men by following a man's philosophy; my pride, my ruinous, awful pride, almost had me swept away by the tides of war. Alas, however, I am saved for He is with me; I may falter but never fall, for when I am weak, then I am strong.

Blog: Soul food.

As I was cleaning out my room (in an attempt to find my Geico insurance policy), I came across a phone number of a co-worker named Sasha. She is thirty two, has a daughter, and is m...

Blog: The dispute of honor.

To dispute a friend's honor is to dispute the very friendship, for his honor maintains it. Hence, it is an insult to dispute a friend's honor, one worthy of treason; and that friend who disputed it, s...

Rant: On the economy.

So, I have -$15 in my bank account now. It's strange because I initially had $5 in it, but apparently, it was only Monopoly money. If it's not a twenty flapjack or higher, they actually tax you. So, t...
