About Me


I'm way overbooked right now... i work eight to five daily playing with databases and other technical stuff that i'm often amazed that are within my grasp... i'm also a writer, an aspiring author, and a broke music journalist... My labor of love is theTRu (http://www.TRudATmusic.com) which i started back in 2001 officially... i also maintain a blog... i've also been seen writing for the following publications: CCM Magazine, CMCentral.com, HM Magazine, RenownMagazine.com, WorldOfCM.com, HHftS.com, SphereOfHipHop.com and i'm actually looking to expand that despite the strain of time... and to top it all off, i always have a book "in the works"... i think to be honest, i have about 15 currently circulating in my head...
Personally, i have a wonderful wife and two beautiful boys that i wouldn't be the same without...The Latest Headline TRus
keep it locked...
peace... love... bdg...

My Interests

music, movies, scholarly pursuits, theology, writing, etc.

I'd like to meet:

no one in particular. well, maybe you...

Music:

Right Now... SFC Phase III

Movies:

I enjoy How to Kill Your Neighbor's Dog, Office Space, and Mr. Hobbs Takes a Vacation. Not that i don't like other movies... but those are the three that jumped into my head just now.

Television:

life is more than a television grid.

Books:

i'm currently reading Christ and Culture by Niebuhr, New Seeds of Contemplation by Thomas Merton, The Confessions of St Augustine, The Chronicles of Narnia Series by CS Lewis, Light Force by Brother Andrew and the Lord of the Rings Trilogy (you don't have to tell me that's a lot... i know)
