About Me

Current Background Image:
"Fox Games," Sandy Skoglund

No more LSD for me, I met the Man from Galilee:
Jesus, Coffee & Cigarettes

I am the love child of Sam Elliot and Jennifer Connelly.

My Interests

When I came to you, brothers, I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom as I proclaimed to you the testimony about God. For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. I came to you in weakness and fear, and with much trembling. My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.

-Chapter 2, Verses 1-5 of Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians

God, truth, photography, songwriting, film, rainy days, midnight drives, gigantic hugs.

I'd like to meet:

I swear I'm not fatboyrider... or am I?

Outside of Heaven

There is no safe investment. To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to be sure of keeping it intact, you must give y...
