I fully admit that I am Lame for having a myspace.

About Me


-I don't deny that I don't necessarily agree with everything I've said and done. I can admit this because I learn from notable mistakes I've made.
-I can be a shy mo fo, though it depends on how well we click, and if I feel talkative or not.
-I'd like to publish my very own "waaay better than all the rest" algebra book sometime in my life.
(This project isn't a priority in my life though, so it's still tentative.)
-My Favorite male voice in the rock music industry is the voice of...
" Maynard James Keenan " of: [tool] [a perfect circle]. (though I'm sure the audio engineering helps a bit too ;)...)
Brandon Boyd of Incubus is also quite amazing.
-My Favorite female voice in the music industry is the voice of...
" Amy Lee " of: [Evanescence].
I also find Michelle Branch and Kelly Clarkson to have amazing voices as well.
- { Mini Bio:
I used to play the drums (as a teen) from '98-'04 and I thought I wanted to be a musician for life. Danny Carey [tool] was my greatest inspiration (and still is my favorite drummer), but my interests gradually shifted (plus, I would like to be amazingly amazing in my career of choice... Danny Carey has already staked his claim in the drums/percussion genre... youtube him and you'll see what I mean).
I was really into--and still wonder if my career will ever venture into the realm of--mechanical engineering/CAD in the aerospace industry, and I would like to possibly screen write something in the future. However, because I think a lot about life and enjoy writing in an analytic sense, I figured an English major would be the route I should take. But after further deliberation, I've realized that, now, there is little help that I need with my writing abilities and it is philosophy that will actually put my writing to good use. I've decided that I absolutely cannot neglect philosophy and it is my foremost priority. I'm not quite an expert though I've surprised myself, but I do enjoy the learning process and my faith in Christ has grown an unbelievable amount from what I've learned thus far.
I still do love drums, and aerospace would be a perfect fall back interest when I'm not studying, being an amateur philosopher for now, and organizing my thoughts and gathered info into my own writing.
Essentially, the philosophical content that I have on myspace is pretty fundamentally basic, but I am in the long process of writing a thorough book on natural theology. (the ordering is subject to changes) }
-If I've hurt you (not that I do this often or anything, lol), I really am sorry... even though your feelings may be the result of a misunderstanding of what I meant. But if I really did hurt you (and I know about it) and you're someone I really care for, I can almost guarantee you I feel like crap, especially until you forgive me. Try not to take advantage of this... like some people actually have.
-I'm a forg*ver; I rarely hold onto a grudge (trust me), and when I do, even more rare is it that they would last very long.
-My goal in life is to respect people that deserve it, and avoid those who don't. 'Common' courtesy is important to me.
-My mind tells me I'm a passionate person... because I am.
-You should never feel threatened by me; I don't think I'm better than you, I'm rarely defensive, and I never (maybe a couple times) mean to truly hurt anybody.
-My sense of humor can be weird at times; I like it though.
-I'm more of an introvert... which doesn't mean that I can't have fun, gaul darn it! lol
-I probably like you if you like me... maybe.
-I prefer the Metric System over the US Customary; The US Customary is for rednecks. :P

------------
Random side note - though the universe may have been formed through the explosion of a star... did it also make male and female humans and animals? ...did the explosion of the star also create human emotions? This, naturalistic inferences have failed to purport a reasonable explanation.
------------
As for any truth seekers out there...
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ (Colossians 2:8 [NIV]).
By definition, the notion of truth is the exclusion of untruth. Truth is exclusive; if there is no exclusivity there is no assertion of a truth-claim being made, but rather a personal opinion. [You see, the beauty of truth (or, the truth of 'what is') is that you don't have to agree with it for it to be true. Real truth is open to verification and is, in and of itself, truth; it matters not what you think of it.]
The assertion of an exclusive, absolute truth is said by many of today to be ignorant, arrogant, and 'close-minded' in general. It behooves us as individuals to see that 'open mindedness' in terms of spiritual beliefs - whether Atheism, Agnosticism, Christianity, etc. - is really an oxymoron. It's actually quite silly for someone to proclaim to be 'open-minded' in those terms. We can be respectful to others (i.e. loving), as should we, but though one may scream synthesis, your mind can't escape antithesis. It's very unreasonable to try to reason yourself away from the very method of reason in which you're reasoning (...what a ridiculous statement... ridiculously perfect). Really, the closest thing to synthesis is numbness.

------------
Pet peeves; complaints; b*tches; gripes; dislikes; etc...
-conceited people... 'cause they're UGLY! When I see an attractive girl that's conceited, I think to myself, "Wow, what a complete waste of hotness." ...It's a shame people have to be wasteful (of themselves).
-rudness
-webcam advertisers (With their lack of self-respect and expose of self-debasement, they help to advocate perverted men and women as well as facilitate the separation of sex from love.)
-the common drunk (esp. people that drink to be 'cool'... laaame)
-the habitual liar (lying is probably one of the ugliest qualities a person can have; it's utterly disgusting)
-when people avoid mending routine relationship problems just to avoid the confrontation
-people that get some kick out of frequently making fun of others
-too much sarcasm (though, I like to use some when I write... yea, only a little though)
-APATHY ...what is it w/ some of the younger people these days??
-apologizing for any reason other than because the person feels truly sorry (other reasons include apologizing to make yourself feel better, or to make yourself look decent to other people).
-slow computers; computers with anything less than a dual-core processor (like the one I'm using... slow)
Other possible (possibly offensive {depending on how keen one is}) profile headlines (some of which are much too lengthy, anyway):
-(Imagine a world where cracking an egg over a frying pan is animal cruelty, but yet aborting a baby and blending up human baby puree is matter of personal taste... what an ass-backward society that would be!
Or, imagine a woman who induces her own abortion, places the baby remains in a garbage bag and into the dumpster, and is then caught and imprisoned for fifteen years; however, the woman who struts into a Planned Parenthood clinic may legally have her child put to death. ...Besides one being rightfully imprisoned and the other being patted on the back for doing "the right thing": What's the difference? One is a contemptuous crime against humanity and the other is a woman's right? Either they're both women's rights or else they're both despicable crimes against humanity. ...So which one is it? The person with even the slightest bit of sense will find the answer to be really quite obvious.)
-The lack of love is a degenerative disease .
-I fully admit that I'm Lame for having a myspace...
-God bless gentle souls.
-"I'm not handicapped; I'm handicapable." (Jimmy the stand-up comic - South Park)
-Truck you, Count Chocula!
-Demoralization of a people + Dehumanization of a human target + mass Extermination of the undesired objects = ...Nazi Germany (Favored Race)/Native American Slaughtering (Manifest Destiny)/Pro-Abortion (Choice)... Genocide
-(The more men ejaculate inside virgins whom they think not to espouse, and the more women willingly accept such conditions, the more confident I am that the woman I wish to cherish and share my life with doesn't exist as a tangible reality.
Is it really too much to ask of a woman that hasn't ruled out marriage––that a man not have defiled, in adulterous, extra-marital relations, the woman that is to be my (or any man's) wife? Must a decent man settle for less? Must he settle for the delusions of the world? For the sake of those women, I'm so grateful that not all men are so picky. For men that deny their own spirit should reasonably sense no grave loss––for indeed if he acknowledges no gift, rightly he acknowledges no loss. Is that not so? A man dull in spirit may suitably find himself content with her––with regards to a husband, may she pray for this or singledom, lest she yearns for the lifelong woe of the decent man.
And what good can be said of the man who defiles a woman who is to be another man's wife unless he turns from his ways?)
Random stuff that makes me laugh uncontrollably (among other things):
-Black Anus (instead of Black Angus®)... ahhhahahahaaa, omg that's the greatest thing ever! lol
-behold, tap... the power of the SOBKOBTOBJOB!
