About Me
About me? What would you like to know? Whatever it may be, just ask. I am stubborn, insubordinate, and a bit cocky, lol. But seriously, I am an easy going, fairly easy to get along with guy. I am open minded to new people and experiances, and all ways of belief as long as its life affirming. In my day to day activities I spend a lot of time talking to the Gods and communing with nature; the outdoors is my second home, and during the summer I spend a lot of time camping and fishing, etc. When not outside, I love to spend time playing with my two children, Micah and Braden, or playing PS3, World of Warcraft, or whatever else is fun at the time. I am what many would call a nerd, and proud of it, lol. Religiously, I am very involved, and spend a lot of time teaching others my beliefs, or helping them find their own paths. Religion is one on my "hobbies", so to say, as I spend many hours studying whatever I can to learn new ways of thought and belief. I am open to religious conversations or debate, as long as it stays within reason, and of course mellow. I'm in an open marriage with a wonderful woman whom I've been married to now for almost two years, though the time has gone by so fast it doesn't feel like it. Anything else you want to know, feel free to ask.
Music
While I may seem to lean in only one or two ways when it comes to music, in reality I am very open to most all music, except for "gangsta rap" which I often find degrading and feel it can promotes excesive violence. My lean in music is toward punk rock (post-punk included), ska, and a bit of metal. By punk rock I mean real punk rock, not the pop-punk BS or emo garbage. The Exploited, The Germs, Black Flag, The Casualties, Pennywise, Bad Religion, and many many more. One of my favorite singers is Krishna Das, who's mantra's are enough I think to touch anyone in a spiritual way. Classical music too is nice to relax to. Overall, I listen to a large variety, as music to me is a wonderful form of self expression.
TV
Television is something I don't watch a lot of. To me there just really isn't much on TV that can hold my interest long enough. When I do watch it, it's just for two regulars that I don't usually miss: South Park, and No Reservations with Anthony Boudain. Now I know to many South Park wouldn't be considered a top rated viewing pleasure, lol, but it's the only show that can make me laugh till I about cry. And while its subject matter is much of the time over the edge, it always seems to strike true with something happening around the world. So maybe that's not such a great thing. Oh Well;) As for Anthony Bourdain, in many ways I envy his life of travel and food. Much of what he tries may seem absolutly repulsive, but to see the world as he does, and experiance other cultures and such is something extaordinary, and something I would love to do.
Books
My favorite fiction author of all time is without a doubt Anne Rice. Her novels are captivating, and keep me going from fist page to last. Her style of writing keeps a hold on me, and the characters of her stories become real and personal. I read also any and every book I can get about religious philosophy and theology, and it's practices through various cultures down the ages. I have a growing library dealing with the modern Pagan movement, and the paths surrounding it. My complete library though, includes a bit of everygthing, non-fiction, fiction, sci-fi, fantasy, history, idiots guides, religious, etc.
Heroes
I really have no hero's, as I see no reason to elevate people above one another. We are after all, only human, and though our energies may last forever, we all die. I could say Spider Man or someone I suppose, lol, but that's not my style.....lol :)
