About Me

It has been a good long time since I last changed my profile. [01-06-2008] Very well. First off, I'm a goof. Yeah, if you have a sense of humor, watch out for lots of laughs coming your way. Secondly, I am an English Major, so everything should be legible and somewhat deep. Thirdly, I am not in the business of pushing religion down the air-pipes of others. Duly noted, I'd like the same treatment. If you wish to discuss beliefs, then by all means, let's talk. You might have to read every word of my blogs with that subject. Skimming is not reading. Moving your eyes in a disinterested fashion may work for your latest science project or book report, but not for interaction on this level. I'll know skimming when it talks. If you don't happen to believe in God and you want to get me into trouble, just remember the First Amendment and my personal liberty to actually speak on a medium such as Myspace. Call them opinions if you want to, whatever makes you sleep at night.
If you have questions about the world and such, do not be afraid to ask. I do not bite. I will be happy to share my wisdom as I have lived and learned it. I must say, I am not a fanatic; I am not a fundamentalist as some might label. I know what I know, and my faith is backed up with empirical evidence.
If you want to read any of my opinions, you may check out the blog from time to time for updates, or you may request what I think about something. Do be kind. Do be respectable.
I believe the quotes are: "Knowledge is Power" and "Knowledge without Wisdom is dangerous."
And "Nothing worth doing is easy."
Profile Update: 3/29/07: If you want to be added to my friend's list, please please please, SANTA PLEASE, send me a message. That's all you have to do, send me a message. It's not all that hard. Tell me about yourself, some things you like, dislike. IF you do not send a message, it will very unlikely I'll add you in return. Definite "No Adds:" Creepy divorced mothers, internet web-cam show-offs, pyramid schemers, general con artists and the like.
Definite "Yes Adds:" People I actually know, someone who sends me a message, old high school chums (but not the crazy ones), college buddies, lost neighbors, crazy relatives and the like.
I don't add random people at will. I have 40-odd friends as opposed to two thousand for this very reason.

My Interests

Oh my goodness, where do I start? Let's start with Video games, since everybody born from the 80s and up has an affinity to them.
I deeply, deeply love writing, but I don't get to do it much as I like. I like writing especially because it puts me in a position to take control and grab reality by the toes and swing it around. I like listening to music, but so does every person in the universe, so go ahead skip to the Music section. I like riding bikes; Going for walks. I like lifting weights, but I'm no dumbbell. Sandwiches. Give me a sandwich, and I'm happy. I usually make my own, some of unconventional creation.

I'd like to meet:

The Lord, George Orwell, Moses, The Original Ronald McDonald, Shinguru Myamoto, Rodney Dangerfield, Johnathan Frakes, The Prophet Jeremiah, Isaac Asimov, and that one genius who thought ham and cheese on two pieces of bread should be together. =0

Music:

[In no Particular Order, nor scale of interest] Steppenwolf, Lake of Tears, Ulver, The Gathering, Coldplay, Monster Magnet, The Fire Theft, Yoko Konno - Cowboy Bebop, Green Day, Beatles, Laziest Men on Mars, Age of Silence [Norway], In The Woods, An Anonymous Band , They Might Be Giants, Pink Floyd, Overclocked Remixes [Internet], Love History [Czech Rep], Antimatter, and that's probably... most, if not all.
I would sum up my interests saying it spans many genres with emphasis on rock. I'm getting into the 60s and 70s rock, like Janis Joplin, Steppenwolf and Floyd. I also like techno. That's where Laziest Men on Mars and Overclocked remixes come into play. Age of Silence, is a very interesting group where they mix hard rock sound with piano, industry, a little techno and... just raw talent.
Yeah, if there are any hard-rock, acid, black metal Christian bands, let me know. Cause if you mix Goodie Band + Monster Magnet = You would get something that's worth a listen.

Movies:

Anyone with one eye or more and a brain that works can tell you they like movies. I like movies. There. I like a lot of them, most of them coming from the 1980s and early '90s. Tom Hanks is a big pleaser. The Cannon Ball Run series is an under-appreciated classic. Gotta love Burt Renolds. I saw "I am Sam" recently... and you should too.

Television:

Generally, TV is bad for you. Real bad. I like the late 1980's to 1990's old cartoons from growing up.
If not for television, I get my kicks from www.homestarrunner.com. It's a comedic website that the whole CUAA campus was in uproar. I mean, check it out, and form your own opinion. Hysterical.
Speaking of college time at CUAA, I learned to appreciate Adult Swim and Anime. It was a wide-spread interest that hungrily consumed time and... our media libraries. I won't make a huge list, but there are a few anime series and movies of choice; Cowboy Bebop, Love Hina, Akira, Full Metal Alchemist, and it would be beneficial to view FLCL.

Books:

In addition to anything in a English Class textbook, such as Frost, Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Oedipus Rex, and any other Drama or literature, I will add the following.

[Author: Books]

G. Orwell: "1983" Roald Dahl: "Charlie And The Chocolate...", "Charlie And The Glass Elevator," "James And The Giant Peach," "Danny The Champion Of The World" Margaret Weis/Tracy Hickman: [Enough Said] Kevin Trudeau: Natural Cures That "They" Do Not want You to Know About E.W. Bullinger: "Numbers In Scripture" Billy Collins: "Sailing Around the Room" S.I. and A. R. Hayakawa: "Language in Thought And Action"

And of course, these are not all the books I've read, but some of which I can prescribe for what ails you.

Heroes:

Uncle Don.
