About Me

Im 20 and Im at University for Computer Engineering. No I did not dye my hair purple or get forced into initiation (apparentally ppl think Engineers do this). I love almost every sport and activity out doors...Tennis, Basketball, Golf, Hockey, Rock Cimbing, Skiing, Sailing, Windsurfing, and Ultimate. I like to have fun and joke around maybe a little too much...nahhh. Um, I guess Im really open minded. And I dont think I have ever hated anyone. I try not to get mad...sometimes annoyed, and I dont have ne enemies. None that I know of neways, lol. I like learning almost about nething or teaching pp if they r up for it (I can usually teach more then people wanna learn lol). I also balance that with some fun of course. So I guess Im well rounded (figurativley speaking :). I dont really know what else to say. Theres lots to know though, so msg me.My You-tube

My Interests

I guess Im interested in too much stuff...I can really not narrow down my future at all. I love all sports like roller hockey, skiing, and rock climbing. Trying to get better at basketball and windsurfing. I luv going out for a fun time...not 2 fun though (too bad there is no such thing!!!). I'm always in for just hanging out like, TV, Movies, Religion, and gaming or wtvr is fun at the moment.

Recently I have been trying to remove TV from my life as I seem to have seen enough that its too predictable and boring now.... I am trying to replace it with learning new ideas and exploring intruiging ideas in both Religion and Science.

I'd like to meet:

Well pretty much anyone. They gotta enjoy a good joke!!! O and if ur gonna add me, plz write me a msg...I like to talk to pp in my friends list. Thnx :).

Music:

Well...I pretty much like everything, even pop although not all, its usually only a few songs from the singers. But I must say some pop songs r really good, but 2 many are just bad. So I like tons of music and it really works out well for me cuz i just turn on the radio and im set for alot of stations. I listen to Rap, Religious, European, some Pop, Alternative, i dunno Everything....

I am more into rap at the moment.Heres an interesting rap(not to mention political :D): .. width="425" height="350" ..

Movies:

I dislike those slasher and horror movies cuz they are so predictable, but I like action movies from those funny Jackie Chan movies to The Bourne Supremacy. I like chick flicks too like pretty woman and what not. OOO yah, I like comedies like Almost Heroes, Old School, Big Lebowski, any Monty Pythons...well the list goes on and on.

The main Jewish movies I like start from "The Train of Life"...crazy emotional. And on the other side of the spectrum, Hebrew Hammer :).

Television:

I watch alot of TV ranging from the regular comedies , cartoons, and action packed shows to more serious shows on discovery like Daily Planet and American Hot Rod. Im not a big fan of those TV reality shows (not only r alot of em almost the same, but they r somewhat predictable). I think I can say I hate Talk shows...boring.

Books:

I like mostly fantasy, but I can never find a good book. So I have slowly given up. Ive read a few serious books for school that I liked, but not to much on my own leisure. Since I no longer have a Jewish education Im trying to continue by reading more on my own. Reading alot of Gerald Schroeder (I realy like most of his stuff..whether or not i agree),The Wisdom of the Rebbe, Aryeh Kaplan ("If you Were G-d" - dont agree with some of it, but there is some really interesting stuff), and of course Torah/Mishnah/Talmud (the basics :D).

Heroes:

well...Besides the Green lantern...not too many pp I would call heroes. A few pp id like to emulate, but I dont think that counts.

Is Religion Limiting Choice a good Choice?

The seemingly obvious answer seems to be that limitign choice and acting "righteously" (or properly) is better then pure freedom, which may yield anarchy.This entire answer and question are flawed as ...

Read OT (based on Septuagint) or Tanach

For all those curious its an obvious answer even though manuscript wise the Septuagint is SAID to be older:Well from my understanding the Jews wrote the septuagint.... Atleast that is our tradition......
