About Me

Just Your Average Gay Christian CowPunk! ............................................................ ....................................................... ..... I have been described as a "grunge cowboy", but I am basically conservative. I have done many things, both for a living and out of curiosity ......................... .....I grew up in the German Hill Country of Texas, worked on a ranch, hunted wild pigs on horseback with bow and arrow, love road trips and have a tough time being "consistent." ............................................................ .................................... .....Just like Donnie & Marie, I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock & roll! Living in Downtown Los Angeles but being originally from the Hill Country, I feel a bit like a fish out of water, but I seem to do O.K. I hope to be able to return to a rural life, some day. But in the meantime, or if not, I try to stick close to my roots. I still mostly wear boots and jeans, sometimes with a hat, but I am also comfortable wearing ties or tennis shoes. I'm pretty much a regular Joe, but I have a crazy streak from time to time! ............................................................ .............. .....Kind of a Punk/Cowboy/MarthaStewart/Philosopher/Adventurer, my tastes vary widely. I enjoy symphonies, museums, live bands, films (all kinds), country, bluegrass, punk and pop! Athough musically I tend to favor rockabilly, alt.county (Newgrass, Americana, Texas, Insurgent, and Progressive Country) and classic country. I cook, clean, and sew, but I also hike, ride horses, and do manual labor (it does the soul good to spend time in physical work). ............................................................ .......... .....I have a pretty busy schedule because I feel that I need to give of myself to my communities as much as they do to me, if not more so. I do mission work on skid row and teach cooperative conduct (etiquette) and independent living classes to persons in transitional housing. I also help my friends in their flower shop in a trendy part of downtown L.A. in the afternoon. I go to church fairly regularly and am involved in a home group one evening out of the week. I dont just consider myself a Christian; I AM a Christian. In a friend, I only want you to respect that about me. I don't know where the road will take me, but I am learning in all circumstances to be content with (that doesn't mean I don't stand for social change where it is needed). ......................................................... ......................................................... I love to get to know about people, so now that you know more about me than you ever wanted to know, please tell me about yourself. A simple, I like your profile doesnt tell me much, although I am flattered if you do........................................................ ..........................................................

My Interests


You Are Austin
A little bit country, a little bit rock and roll.
You're totally weird and very proud of it.
Artistic and freaky, you still seem to fit in... in your own strange way.

Famous Austin residents: Lance Armstrong, Sandra Bullock, Andy Roddick What American City Are You?

I'd like to meet:

Jesus and The Beatles ............................................................ ............................................................ I want to surround myself with friends that are open to new experiences and encourage me to try new things: the kind who can handle themselves in a variety of environments and are not timid about it. Friends that encourage me to be physically active, intellectually stimulated, and spiritually motivated ............................................................ .......................................................... ............................................................ .......................................................... But I think I would settle for a great pot of coffee with Steve Taylor.

Music:

Alt. Country, Classic Country, Independent Rock, Jazz, Blues 2 OF THE COOLEST RADIO STATIONS I HAVE HEARD IN MY LIFE!The 1st: BOOT LIQUOR is a commercial-free internet radio station hosted at: HTTP://SOMAFM.COMand is, as they say, "Americana roots music with a bit of attitude. For Cowhands, Cowpokes and Cowtippers." I call it an Alt.Country monument for the old and new!The 2nd: TEXAS REBEL RADIO is also known as KFAN 107.9 in Fredericksburg and Luckenbach, Texas and can be found at:HTTP://WWW.TEXASREBELRADIO.COMand is, as I put it, "Where Roots Rock and Earthbound Country grow something really good!"

Heroes:

"My heroes have always been cowboys, and they still are it seems..."--Willie Nelson Really, though, people who can keep it all together while everything around them is abuzz amaze me. Which ArchAngel are you most like?
Gabriel. You're most like the ArchAngel of Communication, in charge of things like telephones, libraries, internet, and the 411 phone menu. You're organised and are not shy about inflicting that organisation on others.

Not my blog!

Actually, I have started a blog several times, but it just isn't my deal.  But I thought myspace migh be a good way to keep up with my gay Christian friends and others.
