About Me

My Calendar
I love a lot. I love Casey. She's great. Beautiful, smart , strong...makes you wonder how she ended up with a guy like me! We met dancing and we'll probably dance to the end of our days. :)
She's not all I love though: I love music, I love swing dancing and dancing in general, I love the Opera (no kidding), I love philosophy, I love reading, I love boxing (but haven't done it in a while), I love traveling, I love Symphonies, I love good talks over coffee, I love dining and eating in general, I love working out, I love my friends and hanging out with them, I love business, I love wine, I love plays, I love good movies, I love learning.
I'm not afraid to break the norm. I question everything I can in order to understand it. I probably have some authority issues but not really in a rebellious sort of way. It's not as though I'm intentionally rebelling, I just do what I think is right, and if someone disagrees, that's unfortunate. I'll listen, but I'm not going to change unless there's a good reason.
I love to learn and so I love to debate. But not in an antagonistic sort of way. My ultimate goal is to learn, not prove myself right. Really, I hold my ideas loosely, always ready for revision. I guess I expect others to be the same but truthfully, most people are not; so when I find someone truly searching after truth I cherish conversation with them.

Swing Dancing


Swing Dancing is one of my favorite passions...or rather, what I affectionatly call "addiction". There is very little that can keep me from the dance floor. :)

My Interests

Music:

I love classical music. Especially violin concertos. Mostly, I like stuff from the Romantic and contemporary eras. But I love stuff from all eras. My favorite violinists are Jascha Heifetz (dead), Yehudi Menuhin (dead), Itzhak Perlman (not dead :), Laurent Korcia, Sarah Chang, Hilary Hahn, and Maxim Vengerov.

I love Jazz Music...real Jazz, not the Smooth stuff. Jazz is sophistated a real, kind of like life. I love Wynton Marsalis, Coltrane, Davis, etc...

I love swing music, sometimes called standards. I especially love the old stuff... Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis JR, Dean Martin (the Rat Pack), Nat King Cole, etc... I also love Harry Connick Jr, Michael Bublé, Diana Krall, etc...

I'm always for some good blues...Ray Charles, BB King, etc...

I like Rock and Punk. Incubus, Chevelle, Jimmy East World, Evanescence, Blindside, Acceptance, All-American Rejects, Foo Fighters, Juliana Theory, etc...


Movies:

Rope Swing



Books:

I love to read. Lately, I've mostly been reading Philosophy. But I'll read just about anything I find interesting. Oddly enough, I don't read much in the way of novels. I will if it's recommended to me, but I'm usually more interested in learning something new.

Nausea

 A thought occurred to me.  It's something I think I've known for a while, but often ideas once grasped will slip away only to re-present themselves unexpectedly anew.  I was looking at...

Faith

 In all my conversations about Christianity, one of the most frustrating has do to with faith.  Inevitably, when I tell people that I'm questioning Christianity the argument will, at some po...

Democracy and Christianity

  Christianity's staunch support of democracy is a constant source of amazement to me, primarily for the irony of it.  The one thing they seem unified on supporting is the one thing that rem...
