About Me

Let's meet over coffee or a pint and talk. Still waters run deep...When I can sit still! Friendly. Travel and road trips are good. Not all that wander are lost. I'd rather write it out or photograph it, put it into an art form or lyrics. I have lots of acquaintances. I appreciate those few who know me well. I project aloofness, but internally am intense. Coffee and girls get me jittery and babbling :) I appreciate people who love God. Europe beckons me back. "Sprechen sie Deutsche? Echt toll!" An INFP of the Myers-Briggs type, a "4" on Enneagram. Mentally curious, physically fit. Open minded. Good humored. Introspective(sometimes too much) 5'3", firm handshake, shaved head, goatie, blue eyes. Love the outdoors, ridge top hikes, people's stories, the humanities, good humored folks and great conversation.My photography website: www.kunzerskamera.com My music site: www.myspace.com/kunzersacoustics

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” ~Jack Kerouac

Music:

Get into most anything... except for death metal or rap - yes, rap is crap! I like everything from Metallica to Jewel, classical to pop, from alternative to christian, grunge to folk, dance-able country to electronica.

Movies:

The Thing, by Jon Carpenter. Born on the 4th of July, about Ron Kovic. Bourne Identity and Bourne Supremecy, Predator, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Matrix Trilogy, MurderBall by MTV, Bruce Almighty, Sleepy Hollow with Johnny Depp, ... the list goes on and on...

Television:

Seen the movie "Idiocracy" yet? I think it's what's going to happen to humankind as a result of television! When I had a t.v. I liked CSI, King of the Hill, and Charlie Rose though.http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.ind ividual&videoid=1631410587

Books:

Now reading "A primer of Jungian Psychology". Recently read Douglas Copeland's "Life after God", and John Eldridge's "Waking the Dead. I'm moved by anything by Don Miller, also his pastor: Rick McKinley. I want to highly recommend "To own a Dragon" by Donald Miller (Which I recently finished), along with "Blue Like Jazz"; "Alive" by Read, "Into the Wild" by Krakauer, and Pressfield's "Gates of Fire" of Spartans in the 4th Century.

Heroes:

All of you who think being yourself is the best way to go... I want to be just like you :)

Is money the root of all evil? It is a common saying that "money is the root of all evil." According to the Random House Dictionary of Proverbs and Sayings, the phrase first appeared in English circa...

reposting of a rambling journal on slavery, freedom.

What a ridiculous thing it is to judge based on one's own, or someone else's prosperity.  There really is no overt justice in this world based on such a system.  One man slaves and works him...

String of thought, Sunday morning, about perception, truth, faith, action...

Maybe simple perception is what it has always been about.  My persecutions, my esteem, my love and my joys; perception: how I view myself, others, and the world.  What then is real?  Is...

Christmas Eve in hometown Plains, Montana

So, I got up early this morning and made a "Stumptown" rendition of Folgers coffee....  I thought it was perfect.  However, after choking and gagging, my folks, my sister and Grandma collect...
