Depraved but Saved

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Free MySpace Layouts by Iron Spider
I'm very friendly and approachable and am a very good listener if not a good advice giver. I like God, friends, weapons, authenticity, film, philosophy, etc. and I'm just living the life of a formerly (and still more than he'd like to be) depraved hell deserving mofo, redeemed by nothing but the blood of Jesus Christ baby.

Seeing as this is a Filmspacethingy I'll go a bit more in depth into that part of me. I would love to eventually write and direct films that deal in accurate portrayal of the human condition in every flawed little nuance. I love movies such as American Beauty and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind that deal in artistic fantasy representing reality in as accurate a way as possible. I also am a sucker for a good Sci-Fi movie and love the epic stories such as Gladiator and Braveheart.

Once I can afford it I will be learning the most ancient of Japanese Samurai sword styles the closest thing most of you would be able to liken it to is Bushido or The Way of the Warrior. It is the hearkening to an ideal greater than oneself, it is very much in tune with God and spiritual wellbeing, the setting aside of oneself, of the person, the individual, to become a servant to a greater good and higher power, God. This is done through total disregard of selfish motives and complete encompaniment of the ideals for which one strives. In my case following God and his commandments as closely as possible. Being able and willing to protect those that are unable to protect themselves, whilst never abusing the power you have.

My Interests

Being a good friend or at least trying to be, Movie Making, Technical Theater, Reading, Writing, Hunting/Fishing, Camping, Generally Shooting and Blowing Things Up, Cynicism, Sarcasm, Learning, Bowling, Golfing, Honesty, Missions, Bushido, and of course Military Acronyms
