A good friend will help you move. Your best friend will help you move a body.

About Me

My name is Dan. I live in Danvers, Massachusetts.

There is nothing particulary amazing or interesting about me, but I've learned that that doesn't really matter.

My security and hope are in God.

My friends are amazing. It's been a long, sometimes lonely road to get to this point... but I'm so glad to finally be here. Thanks guys and girls for all that you are in my life!

This is a video I made of my missions trip to Romania:

My Interests

I love skiing, technology, eating out, video editing, amusement parks, tennis, and traveling. I have been to Romania thrice and Israel twice. I've also been to Greece, Jordan, Switzerland, and Saugus. My other hobbies are watching a little tv, and hanging out with my friends who I am incredibly thankful for. They're awesome.

I'd like to meet:

I have absolutely no desire to meet anybody famous. I'd much rather spend time with my real friends, and those God puts in my path for a reason.

Music:

I like mostly Christian music: Switchfoot, Relient K, Lifehouse, the David Crowder Band, Hillsong United, etc. Other music I like is pretty mainstream stuff: Matchbox Twenty, Dave Matthews Band, Counting Crows, Jack Johnson... Oh, and my brother is pretty good too! ( myspace.com/jeffsavlon )

Movies:

Braveheart, Dead Poets' Society, Good Will Hunting, Ray, Indiana Jones Series, Star Wars Series, Batman Begins. Movies I DESPISE: anything by Tim Burton or Will Ferrell.

Television:

The Deadliest Catch, LOST, 24, Heroes, The Office, The Apprentice, American Idol, The Simpsons, Mystery Science Theater 3000

Books:

Anything by Khaled Hosseni, John Grisham, Frank Peretti, and Donald Miller. I also have a subscription to SKI magazine.

Heroes:

Jesus Christ, Daniel (from the book of Daniel in the Bible), Jack Bauer, and possibly Bugs Bunny. And anyone who puts others before themselves.

Thankful

I am thankful for friends who are not afraid to talk about real life - both my life and theirs. I'm also thankful when depression begins to lift. It's a beautiful thing! ...

It's gonna be better

It's gonna be better when you and I are on the front lines together. It's gonna be better when I can reach out to others freely without fear of rejection. It's gonna be better when I am free to worshi...

Purpose

If you've ever seen the show 24, you know that Jack Bauer's life has purpose. Every second he spends during one of his "long days" is critical to the life or death of thousands or millions of people. ...

Depression

Depression is a funny thing. Some people deal with it a lot. Others barely deal with it at all. I deal with it a lot. Usually I can hide it, or stuff my feelings away for a little while... until I'm a...

What I Expect Out of My Friends

Those who know me know that one of my favorite subjects is friendship. This is most likely due to the fact that when I was in school, I was very quiet and virtually invisible to the other kids. So mak...

Exercise Sucks

I hate exercise. I've been trying to be good and go to the gym. So I go to the gym and lift and then I'm like a zombie for the rest of the morning because I'm so tired. So I get some Starbuck's and ca...

LOST

Back in March, I went skiing with my friend Jon. Typically I go to the video store before I head for the mountains and pick up a few movies. It gives us something to do in the evenings after the lifts...
