About Me


The E & J in my name doesn't stand for anything. Honestly. The initials come from a great-great uncle (or something like that) whose name was Ephraim Jerdan (or something like that).
Raised Mormon. The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins changed that. Bit of an agnostic nowadays, though I still knee-jerkingly correct misinformation about Mormonism when I see it.
Used to be way conservative. Now I'm more a Libertarian. (Doubting the existence of God affects your political views, believe you me.)
"Red Red Wine" and "Margaritaville" are two of the finest songs ever recorded, and I say that with no attempt at irony.
I buy books from Barnes & Noble, read them without breaking the spine or getting the pages all oily, then I return them. It's the greatest library in the world.
I served a mission for the Mormon Church in Las Vegas, Reno, and Fallon, NV. It was one of the best times of my life.
My first concert was the Megadeth Countdown to Extinction tour with Suicidal Tendencies opening. It was sweet and awesome.
I think Dane Cook is fucking funny, even though it's hip to not like him nowadays. Oh - Jimmy Fallon sucks serious balls, though.
The first song I ever learned on guitar beginning to end was "Smells Like Teen Spirit." I doubt that makes me very unique. The last song I learned was "Baby, I'm an Anarchist" by Against Me!
I lost my virginity on New Year's Eve 1997.
I sing and play guitar (and bass and keyboards) for the USS Castle Friendship. But don't look for us on MySpace.
The Bible fascinates me. So does people's faith in it.
My (current) favorite drink is Lime Vodka and coke. (I wonder if normal vodka and lime coke would taste the same...)
I fuckin love the Geico commercial cavemen. I would very much like to sit down and have a drink with them.
When it comes to porn, I'm partial to the Hustler Barely Legal series and the Shane's World titles.
Huge fan of Tom Leykis, Michael Savage, and Penn and Teller.
Daniel C. Peterson is my favorite LDS author.
I would like to start a puppy mill (breeding pugs, preferably). Sounds like an easy and entertaining way to make money (though I would feel bad about getting rid of the 'unproductive' dogs).
Oak Harbor is a boring town. But it's close to Seattle.
Seattle is a boring city. Wish I was back in Austin. Hell, even Dallas.
I am gay-friendly.
I am an Eagle Scout. My parents made me earn it before I could get my driver's license. They didn't make any of my brothers, though...
I suck at writing or calling people back. Don't hold it against me. God made me that way. And who the fuck are you to defy God?!
I feel like it's almost blasphemous to say, but American Dad is funnier than The Simpsons. The current Simpsons, anyway. That show has really sucked for a few years now. I bet the movie is gonna suck, too.
Grindhouse was a cool movie experience, but the films themselves were not very good at all.
I am convinced of the innocence of the West Memphis Three.
HAVE YOU BEEN TAUGHT THAT THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD? ARE YOU SKEPTICAL? DO YOU FIND THE BIBLE'S TEACHINGS CONFUSING? CONTRADICTORY?
THERE ARE ANSWERS.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD. (Isaiah 1:18)
THE BIBLE RESEARCHED: (a myspace group) JOIN IT. There's a reason Paul doesn't want women speaking in church:
What if Richard Dawkins is Wrong? (gasp!)
