I am here for Friends

About Me

I have a good heart. It was a gift from two very different people: a carpenter who is modest, kind, loving, loyal, friendly, peaceful, warm, and yet still undeniably rugged; and a teacher entrenched in passion, compassion, ambition, and intellectual excellence, striving for peace, but encumbered in the burdensome stress intrinsic to lofty goals.I owe everything to them. I am their child in more than blood. I echo them in every petition I sign, hammer I swing, or conversation I committ to. This is what you ought to know about me.

My Interests

meaning...whatever that happens to be for you, provided it is selfless and passionate on some level.

I'd like to meet:

People who like to think critically about their surroundings, with willful and hopeful efforts made towards improving them. I would prefer not to meet people who's greatest ambition is to satisfy their immediate cravings.

Music:

Lately, the following have found their way to my headphones: Cursive, Morrissey, The Appleseed Cast, Owen, American Football, Brandtson, Pretty Girls Make Graves, Headphones, Death Cab For Cutie, and other less-than upbeat indie rock. Maybe when I am feeling good about life again, I'll pop in some Limbeck, Mates of State, etc.

Movies:

They're good. I like them. I own some even.

Television:

I don't like watching t.v. too much. I'd rather be doing a slew of other things first. The only time watching t.v. is worthwhile is when you have someone special to curl up on the couch and watch it with.

Books:

engaging social, political and economic non-fiction suits me nicely. some creativity and occassional humor are appreciated. academic work with empirical evidence for its thesis is even more precious to me.

Heroes:

Gandhi, MLK Jr.
