About Me

i really like Marshall University football. im a photography major which is something i really love to do. i am quite literaly in love with a woman named Sarah Beth, but i guess you already knew that. i am a Christian Hedonist, aka... i believe the place i will find the deepest joy and satisfaction in life and the greatest happiness for myself is by selling everything out to the radical Jesus Style life. Because of this, i believe passionately in love love and more love! love that transcends every facet of life and division of people. That's how i want to live. i have great friends and a wonderful family and im going bald at a slow but steady pace. Also, i have no arms or legs and i like to play hop-scotch with walruses... oh yeah i was home-schooled for 13 years... so what!? and i want to fight a volcano... also check out BOEKELL.COM
