How's that working for you?

About Me

whateverlife.com About me hmmm well I moved to Denver almost two years ago to get an MA in counseling from CCU. I should be done in a year or soI hope. I live with my wonderful sister and a very cool dog. I work at Four Mile Historic Park. Its a very fun job I highly recommend visiting. I also go to this really great church. The crew there is awesome and I look forward to getting to know them better. But church would be nothing if it werent for the all-consuming love of Christ. He is my true passion and reason for living. Thats me in a very small nutshell, if you want to know more drop me a line.

My Interests

Interests oh the interests. I am interested in so many things I dont know where to put them all in my brain. Sometimes I think it will get too full and I will just start spouting random information I guess sometimes I do that already. I dont really play sports (not gifted with hand eye-coordination) but I do enjoy being out doors (like everyone in Colorado). I used to ride horses quite a bit and definitely miss it. For now I just content myself walking my dog and riding my bike.

I'd like to meet:

I know it probably sounds a little strange but I would like to meet Mao ZeDong, Stalin, Hitler, and all those other evil dictators just to find out why they were able to control so many people. I would also like to meet people like the Apostles Paul and John, C.S. Lewis, and of course Richard Dean Anderson. In the mean time I hope to meet all kinds of regular people who are willing to share their stories with me.

Music:

I dont know much about music. At least I couldnt tell you who sings or plays what, I just listen to what I like. I dont buy a lot of music since I dont know who the artist is anyway. Dont get me wrong I love music, I just appreciate it for the way it sounds.

Movies:

I really enjoy movies, all kinds of movies. Some of my most often watched movies include: Pride and Prejudice, Bend it Like Beckham, Dear Frankie, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Shrek. Recently I saw V for Vendetta good movie. I also saw Nanny McPhee which was also a very good movie.

Television:

Ok, Ok Ill admit it I like TV. I really like shows where you can follow the characters and their relationships with one another. I was once an Alias junkie but the new season has cured me. Now I try to follow Lost but Ive missed several episodes so Im not sure what is going on. I also like science fiction shows like Star Trek, SG-1, and Firefly.

Books:

The Bible and the DSM-IV are almost the only books I have time to read. I did squeeze Captivating in last month, great book. When I have a little time I like to reread The Chronicles of Narnia and Harry Potter.

Heroes:

My first hero is of course Jesus Christ. After him comes my sister Laura and my mom. My other heroes like my mom and sister are those who have lived their lives in the pursuit of God. Missionaries who have given their lives to tell others about the love of Christ and friends who chose to live their lives by a higher calling are all my heroes.
