I enjoy all kinds of music. Generally, I enjoy a lot of orchestral and devotional music. I like a lot of rock music and some hip-hop. Basically I vacillate between contemplative, quiet music and loud, aggressive music.
Movies
All four movies from director Terrence Malick: Badlands, Days of Heaven, The Thin Red Line, and The New World; The Mission; Dr. Strangelove; Waiting for Guffman, A Mighty Wind; The Godfather I&II, Apocalypse Now; Hitchcock's Vertigo, Pyscho, and Rear Window; Children of Men; Letters from Iwo Jima; Band of Brothers (HBO miniseries); Glory; Marx Brothers films; Lord of the Rings; a bunch more I can't think of right now
Television
The Simpsons, Seinfeld, and that's about it. I usually use the TV just to watch movies.
Books
C.S. Lewis, The Spirit of the Disciplines by Dallas Willard, Catch 22 by Joseph Heller, A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess, Band of Brothers and Citizen Soldiers by Stephen Ambrose, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien, All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque, The Trial by Franz Kafka, The Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan Manning, Of the Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis, Kingdom Ethics by Stassen & Gushee, Bonhoeffer: Life Together, Discipleship, Ethics and Letters and Papers, oh and the Bible

About me: After perusing my favorite books and movies, you probably think I'm a depressed, war-crazed, sixty year old sociopath. Also, you probably think I'm a jerk because I use words like "perusing." Well, you're only half right. I may be melancholy, at least according to a personality survey I took in high school, but (usually) nowhere near depressed. I have always been interested in history, especially war, though that interest has waned. And, well, the sociopath part is probably pretty true, but what I crave most in life is being fully present to friends and family in love. As for being sixty years old, you were wrong, I'm much younger, and I just talk like somebody from the nineteenth century. I go to seminary and I play with cameras. I like to tell stories. I enjoy abandoning pride and making a fool of myself. I like fun.
Who I'd like to meet: Meditation on Death

You know Evan...I just don't know if I have it in my heart to forgive it just yet. It did me pretty wrong. We'll talk later and see if things can work out.
