About Me
I have been an Evangelical Christian long enough to be suspect that anyone who describes their life as a "journey" is about to break into a Micheal W. Smith song. So, as much as I would like to use this small space to convince you all to convert to my version of Christianity, I'll resist. (Sarcasm implied)Because my life still warrants some description, Ill used the word quest instead. I am on a quest to find my role in promoting God's good in the world around me. I have been on this quest for a longe time. I has led me places I could have never expected. I've met amazing friends in the most Hellish places (the Citadel) and bitter enemies hiding behind the guise of friendship in places of peace. These experiences have led me to the conclusion that each person must be judged individually. Who knows, you might be my next best friend or that guy who tells stroies that are too long to be funny.
Presently, I'm a student at Duke University's Divinity School who is attempting to find a relevant message of hope, peace, and justice in the Bible. Don't let this pious statement fool you. I am also as greedy and selfish as the vast majority of Americans and am fight with with all I have to not let my desire to have the nicest car or biggest house, consume me.
I love to laugh. I do Improv with Dirty South Improv Company (www.Dirtysouthcomedytheatre.com) located in Chapel Hill, NC. You should come see a show!!! I am convinced G.K. Chesterson was correct when he said, "It is the Arts that keep man from going mad." Either God has not created me with the capacity to figure out the simple math of the universe, or I'm missing a shortcut that everyone else has figured out. But when the pressure to explain the world only in bible verses gets too great, I hide from the evangelicals with an amazing group of, so called, "lost people" - and laugh, a lot.
I have a great girlfriend. She makes me happy. If we don't break up by Christmas, I'm 99% sure we'll get married. This will probably make all the 50-year-old pedophiles pretending to be hot girls that send me message jealous. Don't worry though, there are always more people out there for you to trick, stalk, and murder, even though I'll be taken.
Let's see. What else?
I've never eaten a dog before, but I wonder what they taste like. If they tast good, I would eat them. i'd eat my roomate's dog even if it didn't taste good, because it craps on our floor all the time. On second thought, I don't think I want to eat something that craps all the time. I stand corrected. I would only eat his dog if it tasted good. That's enough about me. What about you?Safe Travels on your own past,
Joe Jones
