I've been told I'm hard to get to know. My friends are few, but close, and if you're on my friend's list you're either hella-cool in my book, or interesting enough to associate myself with.
27 years old and I sometimes feel like an old man when I look back at all that's happened to me so far, from moving to a new city 6 times in five years, to losing my faith and gaining it back. Loving, and falling out of love, failing and succeeding.
But I wear sunglasses a lot. Cuz' the future's lookin sooo bright.
I grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska...moved around a bit and lived in Seattle, WA for a while. Have been in Johannesburg, South Africa since January 11th, 2006. I'm finishing up my psych degree here. (Long story as to why i chose here!)70.59 58.82 79.41 58.06

If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
-John 15:18-19
You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to
be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly
dependant on the system, that they will fight to protect it. -Morpheus "The Matrix"
"We have a great deal more kindness than is ever spoken. Maugre all the selfishness that chills like east winds the world, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love like a fine ether. How many persons we meet in houses, whom we scarcely speak to, whom yet we honor, and who honor us! How many we see in the street, or sit with in church, whom, though silently, we warmly rejoice to be with! Read the language of these wandering eye-beams. The heart knoweth." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
