I am here for Dating, Serious Relationships and Friends

About Me

I'm a Christian dude originally from Hampton, VA but I go to school near Chicago at Wheaton. There I box, play on the lacrosse team, play rugby, and do some IM's. Being landlocked ranks and I love doing stuff on the water when back in VA. I've already seen one fake profile of me so if you want to make sure that it's the real me look me up on facebook. I'm Adam G at Wheaton College in IL. If you see another profile of me that's fake (aka, it uses my pics), please tell me! ____________________________________________________________ _ I realize that living a life full of pleasure can be pretty meaningless. I'd rather be getting heat rash in India doin God's work and helping the people there like I did this summer than spending a bunch of time out on the water (like I love to do so much) back in VA. At the end of my days, some pleasure here and there, or lots of it like I've had, won't mean much on the grand scheme of things. How much money, how much power, how much fun, how awesome of a wife, etc.; it all won't mean a thing in the end. I seek to realize that more and more, and strive for living a life that actually matters. So much of what we seek after can be so short-lived, like "dust in the wind, dude." (Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure) There are so many shallow people out there, so many conversations that are wasted on blah, so much time wasted on blah or your and my own gratification. I want to live a life of meaning.I live in VA over summer and breaks and go to school near Chicago. Believe me when I tell ya that I'm very straight. ___________________________________________________ I've been wastin too much time on here so I'm gonna start taking even more time than I have in the past to get back to people; taking a week or two to get back to me will help me out too so feel free. Alotta times when I do get on I don respond to people immediately after reading their messages or comments too, so don't think it means anything if I don get back to ya cuz I could be doing it with everyone else for that day/month too...Mission trip in Russia with Childrens Hopechest- in orphanages in Ivanovo and KostromaMission trip in El Salvador with Orphan Helpers. www.orphanhelpers.com

My Interests

salsa, swing, anything on the water (back in VA I'm the first house on the left on the York River, surrounded on 4 sides by water, so basically I love the water), massage, lacrosse, rugby, boxing, fishing, hunting, soccer, football, and paintball

I'd like to meet:

People who are real, a hard thing to find these days. ___________________________________________________________ down to earth cool people; ___________________________________________________________P eople who don't like playing lil mind games like so many people like to play; ___________________________________________________________ people who can act like lil kids and be fine with it; ___________________________________________________________ People who aren't really into themselves. It can be hard to not get spoiled in this country. ___________________________________________________________ people who don like the simple and easy conforming to the norm and can make their own decisions and come up with their own ideas, while remaining able to lay down their pride and accept objective truth even if they don't like it or can't fully understand it when it's staring them in the face; ___________________________________________________________ A few more qualities in others that mean a lot to me: blunt honesty, MODESTY!, humility, a servant's heart, a heart for God

Even though I can post these, I'm still going to try and keep my emails to a minimum, so try not to be too offended if I don't respond to anything until after I get back. It's not personal! 5/24/0...

1. A common problem when encountering truth

My faith: Blog 1 What's the problem? In some cases, you simply don't want to hear the truth. Every man is biased. Every man can be illogical in their biases at times. People don't like to concede when...
