About Me

well lets see.... im a believer in Y'shua (thats jesus for all you who dont do hebrew). meet the big guy in the sky at age 16. been an uphill battle to get to know him and walk by his commands ever since. im a firm believer in doing what the bible says and regulate my life by the word as best i can. at 18 i started seriously studying the word and learning about the different views people have held about the word of G-d. calvinist, armenist, pentecostals, methodist. very interesting. im a messianic gentile. my favorite pastime is to study the word and to talk about it with friends. i love to discuss the hard issues of the bible. so if anybody ever likes to discuss the word im your man! or if you come across a scripture you dont understand and need some help i will do my best to find the answer according to the word if you ask me. just my personal commitment to G-d and people to help. lets see. other interest. i absolutely love music. i play a bass guitar. my inspiration is Victor wooten of bella fleck and the flecktones. recently i saw him and he was fantastic. another inspiration of mine is the dave weckl band (thanks to gregg addington-the man on drums!). jazz is wonderful music. good for the soul...other great favs....jets to brazil, kent, matchbox 20, morrisey, U2, gavin degraw, etc. no particular style of music, just great musicians. but alas.. i dont consider rap to be music..sorry (just my opinion all- dont be offended). as far as worship music goes, gotta love shane barnard. man his voice is beautiful!!! art is also a passion of mine. i was studying it in college before i changed majors to electrical. classical is great, but at heart im a comic book fan. jim lee, todd mcfarlane, scott campbell, stephen platt. man im such a nerd!!! but i really am a great guy!!! no really. im the nicest, sweetest, most loving guy you'll meet (i even more so than zeb!!! hehehe). and im smart too!!! (right now zeb is thinking "yeah, smart-@$$!") zebs my best friend. he got me to do this. but i really am a nice guy. just ask my mom...lets see big thoughts on life.... you always reap what you sow. sometimes though it takes a couple decades to reap what was sowed. thats why the bible says to keep on doing good without growing tired becouse eventually you will get what you deserve. of course if you dont like that one theres always "life is like a box of chocolates..."

My Interests

the bible, history of civilization, first century jewish thought and christian thought, bass guitar, comics, video games (gotta relax the brain somehow), a good book, a nice pillow ( i dont get to sleep much between 2 jobs and full time school), and of course everybody loves soccer!!!

I'd like to meet:

what is this? a dating service? no seriously cause im already on twenty of those! j/k. its only three. im down 4 meeting everybody. people are great! i love people, no matter what walk of life you are on. where you are at. its all good for me. seriously. whoever you are just pop a question or an opinion about G-d. i will respond. why about G-d. cause thats really the only subject im proficient at. well..there might be a couple of others. electricity im pretty good at. and im decently wise about people and relationships and love to talk about the breakdown of our socialogical structure and the impending doom of our economy. whatever you want to discuss i probably have an opinion on it. as they say, "if you get two jews in a room your bound to have at least three opinions!" seriously. i would love to hear from you. whoever you are. love you all and hope you the best.

Music:

the dave weckl band, jets to brazil, jawbreaker, hush harbor, kent, promise ring, matchbox 20, knapsack, soundgarden, pavement, gavin degraw (the stripped version of his cd was great), stone temple pilots, ect. oh and of course shane barnard!!! man he has a great voice!!!

Movies:

fight club, snatch, green mile, batman, any nicolas cage movie, resevoir dogs, fight club, shawshank redemption, every mushy love story ever made, crossing delany street, the main event, laberynth, matrix, did i say fight club? and well almost everything, im a projectionist at a movie theatre so i see it all. oh and also fight club.

Television:

dont get to watch much, but every friday night my dad and i turn on scifi and watch stargate sg1, stargate atlantis and battlestar galactica. my favorite running show ever was called farscape. but it was cancelled two years ago. babylon 5 was a good series....

Books:

the letter writer by timm hegg (on pauls life and veiws- very challenging though for an ordinary christian),the mystery of iniquity by micheal john rood(really challenging for left behind readers) the phrophets by abraham j herschel, martin buber's the phrophetic faith, fellow heirs again by tim hegg, the mystery of the gospel by thomas lancaster, jewish literacy by rabbi joseph telushkin, the origins of the spanish inquisition by b. netanyahu, how to make an athiest backslide by ray comfort (that guy is just funny), fossilized customs by lew white, and all of my first fruits of zion commentaries (especially yr 1 on the torah in general- great stuff for those who just dont get it), yeah id better stop now...getting to long.

Heroes:

the mighty j.c., moses, elijah and elisha, all the old and new testament dudes...they rocked. for the present...my dad and mom, my grandpa pera rocked. my brother. my grandma is pretty cool too....did i miss anybody? ummm, joe (jeo) is a guitar genius, and so is page.....yup...i think that is it...

My Blog

well...... (thats a deep subject..)

how come it is, that even with all the accomplishments in the world a human being can still feel empty and tired of living? most days are great days, yet nothing makes them much different from another...
