The penitent man shall pass.

About Me

"Then the Word of the LORD came unto me saying, Before I formed thee in the womb I chose thee, before thou was born, I sanctified thee and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Jeremiah 1:4,5
What a horribly open space this is...
Well, let's try to get through this in one piece.
First and foremost, I am spoken for! I very much love my dear, fair, Hannah. Sorry to disappoint, but that's the way it is.
Take a look around. I'm a little dark sometimes, but I don't pretend that I'm unhappy. I really just like dark, heavy colors. I'm a Christian. My faith is absolute. My personal philosophies are a little anachronistic, but that's me. I value tradition. Family is very important to me. I'm a geek. I love sci-fi, fantasy, video games. I love good food and drink. I love to cook. I can, but don't necessarily like to, clean. I'm a bit lazy. I enjoy almost all types of music; life without music sucks. I'm a voracious reader. I love crosswords. I'm a quick learner. I'm a genius, according to all the tests. I enjoy learning, be it math, physics, chemistry, history, writing, reading, performing, philosophy, psychology, art, recipes, plays, anything. I believe that one rose makes a much bigger statement than any number of dozens. I'm big on actions and gestures. I have a much more subtle mind than I let on. I'm big. (Seriously. I'm 6'3", around 250, a shoulder measurement of 58". I'm not a small guy.) I'm a little padded around the middle, but I'm working to fix that. I believe in improving myself. I wear my pants up, my shirts tucked, and my belt secure. I'm generous whenever I'm able. I'm an actor. I play at the Carolina Renaissance Festival. I'm an entrepreneur. I co-own a little business selling hookahs, and I build computers from time to time. I can't really tell you everything about me in this little space. There's just not enough room. I do, however, enjoy sharing with people and learning about people. So say hi sometime. I think you'll be glad you did.
