I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Chris, and for your information I am 1/4 Finnish and 1/4 Irish and that makes me 100% fucking awesome bitches! My family likes to say that I go to the beat of my own drummer, I say fuck the drum...I don’t think I go to the beat of any drum or skip to any beat period, my "drummer" would probably play Pan's pipes as he leads me on my way or something equally different, my personality profile. I’m more fluid and random than any beat would ever allow. I'm the kind of guy who tends to be easy going for the most part. Frankly, I am the kind of person who will grow on you. I spend my free moments at times pondering life’s oddities such as life, death, politics and society and the rest of the questions without an easy answer (that is if my nose isn’t stuck in a book or I am hanging out with friends) or just being a dork spinning for joy and amusement in my computer chair or training (seriously). I live in down town Portland near the college. I must say it’s quite the contrast from where I grew up, in the quiet country solitude on the southern Oregon coast. I enjoy standing back and watching the people around me, I think you miss out on some of the greatest things in life if you’re not paying attention to those around you.what else...um, I was raised roman catholic but no longer consider myself such (obviously) and I have a little brother and sister that are 2 and five years younger than I am (Jenny, who is on myspace as well My baby sister!This is my Facebook profile link!
.. You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don't believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).Agnosticism is a philosophy that God's existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.

Television:

Take the Star Trek QuizCaptain Jean-Luc Picard -Always in control, you are a great leader, deligator, and diplomat. These qualities attract people to you, and this sometimes annoys you.Aloof, introspective, and philosophical; you enjoy quiet time in solitude.

Books:

I like Alexandre Dumas (The Count of Monte Cristo, three Musketeers). Anything by Terry Brooks or Raymond e Fiest (and other general fantasy books...of course the classic LOTR as well). I also enjoy political and books on government as well as philosophy. And I always make the effort from time to time to read the "classics" and for the most part tend to enjoy them...some more than others. For example, I LOVE "Catcher in the Rye," but it was very difficult for me to finish "Bury my heart at Wounded Knee" though, I have ALWAYS been fond of "Tristan and Iseult”. 1984 but think that George Orwell is over rated as an author (but he is my "god" of political fiction writing...read my list of his books I list and you will understand why), you want a good disutopic work of fiction read Huxley's "Brave New Word" or Zamyatin's book "We" (it’s a good bet that 1/100 people have never even heard of Zamyatin though, which is sad because it is the book that Orwell emulated and its really good). Hum, other greatest "hits" Keep the Aspidistra Flying (love that money god), Road to Wigan Pier, Homage to Catalonia, Down and Out in Paris and London (all of these are Orwell). Then we have "Prince of the Blood", "The Vampire Chronicles", "Lord of the Flies," The Future of Freedom" (this is nonfiction but has shaped my view of politics a great deal), "Guns Germs, and Steel", "Complexity" by Roger Lewin, "The Revenge of God" (a MUST read in the post "9/11" world), "Newjack" by Ted Conover, Victims of Progress by John Bodley...ok...that’s enough, don’t worry I'm not THAT boring!
