About Me

Every day I try to love God more and learn how to love like God more. I figure that that is what I need to do in order to live like I should. I also really love learning random things that don't really matter but are cool anyways. I am a musician, an artist, a writer, and a photographer. I like tea much more than coffee...especially loose leaf tea (yerba mate and japanese green are rockin). I play the double bass, the electric bass, the guitar, the mandolin, and I sing...I love to sing. Everyone should sing more. Sometimes I drink honey. I think that anatomy is awesome, because it is so perfectly put together. I don't understand how cool it is that we were all created in the image of Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh (I Will Be Because I Will Be). I think prayer is really cool and should be done more often. I wear sandals almost all the time, even in the snow. Reading is cool. I like to climb things. I also like to help people, which is why I'm thinking about becoming a nurse. Anyways, if you want to know more about me then...umm...I don't know. Whatever.May Yeshua HaMashiac Adonai (Jesus Messiah Our Lord) bless you much, Alex Stephen

Fields

Do you ever feel like going out to a big open field all by yourself, not a soul for miles, and just yelling as loud as you can until your voice is gone? I do sometimes. Usually there isn't a specific ...

It Starts with Tea

Me personally, I'm a tea guy. I'll have coffee from time to time, but tea is really where it's at. My brother did a report on tea at one time and learned that it is the second more consumed beverage i...

Little Carl

I was just thinking, as I often do, and I thought about how odd it must have been, and frustrating, to have to come up with a language. I mean, we're born with one, but what about the first dude ever....

Strong People (Stay Away from Me)

So here's the thing. I'm pretty sure that I really wouldn't like it if somebody came up to me and grabbed my jaw and ripped it off. I mean...I'm just not into that sort of thing. In fact I'm strongly ...
