I am here for Friends

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

people who care about things that should matter in life... sometimes its hard to believe in love. other times, its too easy. but it's best when you don't have to believe in it, when you already know it's real.

Music:

i'm in the bands Brethren and Rising Sun, so give us a listen (they're in my top friends)
i like to listen to artists that are either some of the the best at a well-established style, or are creative and making their own styles. also, i tend to listen to the music first, then the lyrics.

Movies:

movies that make you think, or tell a great story, or have memorable characters, or make you laugh every time you watch them. movies with lasting appeal and depth; the kind that are as good, if not better, every time you see them.

Television:

i generally want the same things out of TV shows as I do movies.

Books:

i like many of the classic stories (20,000 Leagues, for example), and some theology/philosophy books. generally i want the same things out of books as i do movies/TV shows and etc.

Heroes:

To me, a hero is anyone who strives to leave the world (or just the places & people they encounter) better then when they found it. Also, anyone who can overcome their demons, and help others do the same.
Here are some quotes instead of some heroes:
"Education: that which reveals to the wise, and conceals from the stupid, the vast limits of their knowledge." - Mark Twain
"It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching." - St. Francis of Assisi
"Nothing takes the taste out of peanut butter quite like unrequited love." - Charlie Brown
"Imagination is a quality given a man to compensate him for what he is not, and a sense of humour was provided to console him for what he is." - Oscar Wilde
"Only the dead have seen the end of war" - Plato
"I just refuse to believe that, as humans, we have reached the point of being so apathetic that it’s too late to make a change for the better." - Myles Kennedy (Lead singer of Alter Bridge)
