About Me

Here is a picture of me after Tahoe last year. I'm "bearing my cross" in a sense. I want to do that again this summer.Let's see, I am a hard core believer and follower of Jesus Christ. I play guitar, bass, and some drums. i like to do Stand up Comedy. I have an IQ somewhere in the 140-145 zone. I am really emotional. You never have to wonder how I am feeling, I'll let you know. I am really an attention whore. That could be why I want to be an actor and stand up comedian. I love to dance.
In fact I have been caught dancing in my living room more than once to
Micheal Jackson or Justine Timberlake.
. .
I love to go dancing with my friends.Well, if you want to know anymore just ask, pretty much I am an open book.

My Interests



Music, The Bible, Apologetics, Jamming on my guitar, bettering myself one day at a time, friends, putting my confidence in what God says about me, a good conversation with someone who is really intelligent and inspiring, speaking the truth in Love.

Music:

The list is so incredibly long, I would never get any sleep. Well I do like "de3_j@Y-cH!cK3n leGg" ha ha! (That is ME!) DC Talk, Pillar, P.O.D., Jars of Clay, Skillet, Lifehouse, Jeremy Camp, Tait, Toby Mac, Kevin Max, Metellica, Queen, Areosmith, Third Day, Reliant K, Salvador, Todd Agnue, Gym Class Heroes, Newsboys, Shawn Grooves, Creed, Plumb, D.J.

Movies:

Some of the best movies ever in my opinion have got to be Cinderella Man, The Notebook, X-Men 3, the Bible vs. The book of mormon, ummm, Let's see here what else. . . I like 5 out of 6 Star Wars movies. Any REAL Star Wars fan knows what I am saying here. j/k All of the Lord of the Rings movies are awesome. Office Space, The Incedibles, Indiana Jones,Jarrasic, Napoleon Dynamite, Saturday Night the Best ofs (esp. Will Farrel's and Adam Sandler's, Christophe Walken, etc) X-Men, X-2,X3, Spider-man 1, 2 and once it comes out I'm sure I'll dig 3, and probably a whole bunch more that I can't think of right now.

Television:



Here's the cartoon me doing stand-up comedy!
(Yeah, i move around on stage a lot.)

My relationship with tv is something like this: I love you, I hate you. Ahhhh, the beautiful relationship I have with the biggest waste of time and easiest entertainer I know. (Sounds like a great relationship there doesn't it.). . . Alright, alright, here goes:
Scrubs, The Simpsons, That 70's Show, Beaker, Family Guy(hilarious!), Futrarama, Stand-up Comedians, Behind the Music, Biography, Documentaries, History Channel, X-Men, Justice League, Batman (Just the animated stuff - I grew up on that), Star TNG/Trek Voyager (well I think that about wraps up a good nerd profile there), Homestar Runner, South Park (Pretty bad stuff but I laugh my balls off), Drew Carey (he's the man) . . . well theres more but that sleep thing again.

Books:

Right now I recently finished up C.S. Lewis "Mere Christianity" It's awesome. Even if your not a Christian and you have questions, read it, ALL the way threw. It will change the way you think about the whole concept of Christianity. It will ask question you have yet to ponder, and then answer them greater than you would have guessed. Other books I've really enjoy are:

recently went through are Quarter Life Crisis, Ephesians Chapter 4, "Man in the Mirror", and probably many more.

Heroes:

Kind David
Paul the Apostle

Moses
Daniel
Elijah Superman.
He has value. For me it's not about the power. It's his meekness. The Greek word we get meekness translated from is awesome. See, we don't have a word in the English, well at least not one that I am familiar with, that correctly reflects what Jesus said when we get "The Meek shall inherit the Earth". We tend to think of it as week, powerless, and spineless. Yet in fact it is quite opposite of that. The Greek word means 'power in control' and would often be associated with a wild animal taken from savage brutality and unbridled behavior, to one who has changed and now uses that energy for useful and helpful things. I think what Jesus meant here was to use the powers and abilities that we have for things of good - useful, helpful, etc. And when I see Superman, with all his powers, all the potential for ego and 'look how great I am', but only see him wanting to help make the world be a better place, I see meekness. He has a sense of chivalry rarely seen, yet is so much needed today. For his character does not promote how great he is - we all can see that - but instead he does what is right for the right reasons, he is an ideal leader who has a good head on his shoulders. That is why Superman, for me, represents true manhood and heroism. You may disagree since he is only a product of modern mythology, but for me he embodys what a true hero is.Your results:
You are Superman Superman 75% Spider-Man 65% Wonder Woman 62% Green Lantern 60% Iron Man 55% The Flash 55% Robin 47% Batman 45% Supergirl 42% Catwoman 35% Hulk 20% You are mild-mannered, good,
strong and you love to help others.
