About Me



i'm excited to be leaving SPU actually. i'm taking a very different route in my ministry adventures here in Seattle. i'm looking forward to what i experience as the months come and go. i get to work full-time this summer for the church i've been at over the last 9 months. those three months should be a hectic blast.
i'm just enjoying good music, good food, good work, good friends, good books, good times, and good movies in this great life. i sound like i'm either lazy or way too optimistic. if i were to choose, i'd be lazy, but i try to live life to it's fullest in a way that is beneficial for not only me, but for those around me. i have been given too much to keep it all to myself...

an elaborate satire of a common occurance

Not too long ago, on a thoroughfare not far from the seat of which I am typing this story became the scene of a heinous crime. This atrocity ended just as fast as it started, but it left a lasting imp...

last night's dream
