Andrew, who is grand!

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

MY COMPANY Progress Tech & Design
What about me? Hmmm...
I'm happily married I guess is a good place to start - marriage is such a wonderful thing! I Love You Jen!
I have a good job, doing computer work, mainly graphics of all sorts, along with computer repair and such. I enjoy using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator a lot, it allows me to get my creativity and perfectionistism out. I enjoy playing softball - I finally hit a homerun last season! What a joy :-)
I enjoy animals, me and my wife have 2 cats, Bob and Neko, who are way too cute for words. Three vunderbar little pups, Pedro (who hates me, don't let Jennifer lie to you), and my little baby Suki, and our new pup Gizmo! All Chihuahuas, Pedro is around 7lbs and Suki may tip the scales at 3lbs if she just came back from Granny's house, and Gizmo is still a bitty baby :-).
Lets see, what else - I have a lot of leg hair, but not as much as my brother Travis, I have blue eyes, which means I'm an airhead, and I bite my nails, especially when I'm nervous or something is bothering me. Hows that for about me?
You Are a Visual Learner
You tend to remember what you see, and you have a good eye for aesthetics.
You excel at art, design, and computer programming.
You would be an excellent film director - or the next Bill Gates! What's Your Learning Style?

My Interests



Computers, computers, computers.

I am interested in graphics programs, mainly Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I really enjoy creating cool looking stuff. I enjoy working on computers, they are a challenge, and its what I have a lot of knowledge and experience in.

I am interested in learning whatever about everything. I know I'm not going to be the expert in everything, and that much more than fine with me, but I want to have a general knowledge about most everything.

Being happily married is another interest, and so far its working!!! Whoohoo! I Love You Jen!

I have an interest in programming computers - I think its an art I would be good at if I had the time or a job that does it, which would give me the time. But all I have time for right now is Photoshop and Illustrator. Boohoo.

I am interested in the Bible, and in Prophesy, about the end times mostly. I'd like to do an in depth study. This ties into the political theme, b/c of all the wars and such.

I have other interests also, but oh well, you'll just have to get to know me and learn them yourself!

I'd like to meet:

Lessee... I'd like to meet first and formost Jesus, but I will do that one day face to face, so that is covered :-) I'd like to meet my Soulmate, but I found her already, so boo on that. I Love You Jen! I'd like to meet... well... I'm not sure who else actually... oh well.

Music:

Let me start off with what I don't like. Most Rap, all Country, Most Pop. I enjoy most any rock, gotten into a phase now where I like Christian Metal. Good stuff!

My two favorite bands are Blindside (the album Silence is the best) and Becoming the Archetype (full throttle metal with some incredible lyrics). Have been caught listening to the like of Ben Folds Five, Barenaked Ladies, Offspring, Disturbed, Rammstein, Shinedown, POD, Pillar, Disciple, Benjamin Gate, Tourniquet, Third Day, 311, Alice in Chains, goes on and on I guess.

As a side note, What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong is the #1 song that reminds me of my wonderful wife! I Love You Jen!

..

Movies:



The Grudge, The Notebook, The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, the Bourne movies, The Matrix (1), Dune, Hackers, Firewall, Enemy at the Gates, the Hannibal Series, any Adam Sandler movie. List could go on, but I'm really not an incredibly huge movie watcher, but I like comedies, action, psychological thrillers, think type movies, every once in a while a chick flick, which I enjoy watching with my wife. I Love You Jen!

Television:

Haven't truly watched TV other than Everybody Love Raymond, Friends, and Seinfeld reruns they show on TBS (the only channel we really get at our house). So I can't say what I like/dislike too much. Oh well.

I am going to check out Smallville - everytime I see an episode I seem to enjoy it alot, if my wife would ever get around to downloading it for me :-( I Love You Jen!

The Bible too, of course, which I enjoy reading with my wife. I Love You Jen!

Heroes:

Jesus Christ, who truly is a hero in the greatest sense (God, became Man, and died? Like men do? Whoa)
Also, it has caught my thoughts that God gave His ONLY Son, Jesus, to die, to sacrifice His life, for my sins. He had His Son put to death for me, in the absolute most torturous way, for me. It has struck home because I have lost two of my children. And although I never got to see, hold, hear, smell, or anything else my little children, I feel the pain and even more-so I believe does my beautiful wife. God - whom has the power to do ANYTHING, anything at all, knew that for the sake of every single little human that he created, he had to allow His Son to live on this earth for ~34 years, and die a thieve's death, by hanging on a cross for hours enduring all manners of pain, with the weight off ALL humanities death (sin) on his shoulders - I absolutely could not imagine knowing that was happening to my child, even worse so when you not only have perfect and complete love for you Child, but you ARE love.
GOD THANK YOU FOR GIVING LOWLY ME A CHANCE TO ENTER YOU KINGDOM AND FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU FOR ETERNITY!!! And thank you for impressing on my heart to choose to take that free gift, and may I be able to spread the Love You've shown me to others, through word and even moreso through deed.
My wife is also a hero of mine, because she has put up with me this far ;-) Also b/c she has loved her children that she has never held more than I've seen anyone ever love a child, even ones that they have had the forune to hold. She is going to make a great mother. I admire how when she is having a hard time coping, she runs to me. I try to be there for her, and it makes me feel loved, all while making her feel comforted. I Love You Jen!
