About Me



My Interests

Religion, Writing (sometimes about religion), Debating (ussually in writing, and sometimes about religion), Reading (about things that I can debate about in writing, or about religion), and computers (my mode of reading/writing/debating/and the occasional religion).

Music:

I used to pride myself in having a well-rounded taste for music. Back in the heyday of free MP3s (when the illegality of it was just a nasty rumor), I would download anything that caught my interest, from Beethoven to Bon Jovi. Currently, I have narrowed my taste down to 5 genres: (in order of enjoyment) 1) Dance/Techno 2) 90's and Now 3) Lite Pop 4) Contemporary Christian 5) Classical

Movies:

Never really been a movie buff. I like a good one when I see one, but ussually don't have the patience to sit through one. The only exception is when I'm with friends, and that's just so we can talk about it, afterwards. As of right now, my favorite is King Kong (the latest one).

Television:

I mostly watch the History Channel, CNN, or one of those other nerdy stations. Subsequently, my favorite shows are the complex ones: The Simpsons, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, MythBusters, and Armstrong and Ghetty (a local show in Sacramento).

Books:

Favorite Fictional Book: Farenheit 451 Most Hated Fictional Book: Tale of Two CitiesI also enjoy the scriptures, Night, Screwtape Letters, Joseph Smith: Rough Stone Rolling, and anything that really makes me stop and think.

Heroes:

My Dad, Superman, and the person who invented this thing !

My Life Without a Cellphone

The following is a rant about cellphones, not to be confused with my rant about cell-clones, which I still hope will burst out of my body and kill me, someday. Oh, how I wish I had a cellphone!  ...
