I like that wig. Looks like a medieval warrior.

About Me

"I wondered if when we take Christian theology out of the context of its narrative, when we ignore the poetry in which it is presented, when we turn it into formulas to help us achieve the American dream, we lose its meaning entirely, and the ideas become fodder for the head but have no impact on the way we live our lives or think about God. This is, perhaps, why people are so hostile toward religion." -Donald Miller, "Searching For God Knows What"

My Interests

they are pretty simple, I guess. Nothing fancy shmancy. I like to surround myself with music. I like to sing and play around on my fender, whitney, and casio. I enjoy different forms of art like photography. I like writing my thoughts on pretty much everything. Most of the time, my enjoyment comes from other people. Sometimes, it comes when I'm all alone. I'm adventurous when I walk. I love seeing a good concert. I'm interested in figuring out how to not be so stinking busy all the time so that I can get back into photography and music. I'm interested in the spiritual and believe Jesus is the Way.You can take that for... whatever...
