the heart of God, the mind of an adolescent, the worlds existing only in my mind that yearn to live on paper, the meaning of life....and in my spare time stuff like piano, photography, and way too much pirated music...
Music
pretty much...anything but country....and rap is cool, but it sometimes gets boring really fast................................
i've always been a non-conformist and enjoyed pop.....
good rock and alternative and metal are cool....
some of my favorite music is actually soundtracks. I love instrumental stuff...
i love TECHNO and DDR tunes...
....and any time i can find a good gothic chorus piece....oh it sends shivers down my spine!
Movies
there's a particular breed of movies that i like, but honestly, i'm really tired of them. I'm tired of TV in general. Movies and shows entertain me, but the the price is that they make my mind sluggish. so i try not to watch too much. and more and more, i don't want to watch movies with people as a social event(except for the occasional midnight premeire) I believe that using someone else's creative talent as a means of fellowshiping with my brothers and sisters is cheap and shallow. ........................ but that's just me.....
Television
LOST...............................................................and star trek..................................
Books
The Writings of Paul...............

the Major Prophets.....................
The Lord of the Rings Quadrilogy...................

Heroes
Jesus......for the obvious reason that....i'm alive!!!!
let's see....i have heroes in a lot of different areas.
as far as youth ministry, i've always looked up to the Anderson brothers: Loren and Brett.
Bible teachers...Jon Courson, Bob Coy, Darrin Ratcliffe, Tim Aldrige, Gary Freisen
Musicians...Seth Gilbert of Seven Places...Ian...Danny Kerns on guitar...Beka on piano....Zach Guzman when he sings....oh my!
Christians....who i respect for the way they walk with the Lord....Crosby...Robbie...David Courson...Paul Pastor...the booye brothers: jared, brad, and phil...the Overstreet brothers: Luke, Matt and Mark...
and i admire my brother a lot because the guy's freakin amazing. 2nd degree black belt, very good guitarist, very good photographer, very good with highschoolers, has a solid and pure relationship with a girl...and above all that, he loves the Lord.

Glad to hear the dates will work out. If all goes according to plan on our end, we will be up in P-Town on the 13th and 14th of January. I was actually just thinking about the new Star Trek and how interesting it would be to go see. Have you gotten a chance to see a trailer for the new X-Men movie? "X-Men Origins: Wolverine." Looks...amazing. Anway, see you next month. Yay!
Michael, I'm so bummed that we couldn't be there for the wedding. :( But i just wanted to say congratulations, and God bless your marriage with Tanya(I know He will). I'm so happy for you both!!! Love you!
i dont know why, but today, just now, was the first time that i have ever really read every single word of your page. with feist, your about me was really really cool to me. and last night was a treat, since your presence is a blessing to me. i dont really know why because i dont reflect on it very often, but you are just a really good person that i get a lot out of seeing even in brief hello's and whatnot. thank you for being another reason to look at my life and the people that have been placed somewhere in/near it, too thankful to know if i am giving as much as i receive. does that make sense? much love, my friend.
its on 29th and powell. it doesnt look special on the outside, but its like a warehouse inside. and they brew their own beers and theyre all organic. and they have healthy food and regular food, all their own sauces and blends and stuff. and decently priced. i was a HUGE fan. i think you would like it.
dude that's so awesome :D. I'm gunna be trying to work as much as I can this summer cuz I'm moving out of my house to go to college. Gunna move in with a good friend, it'll be great cuz we're gunna buy a Wii and play Super Smash bros. you gotta buy it too so we all can Plllaayy!! If i get my Grants i'll totally be there :).
hey dude! i think you meant to send that comment to someone else... perhaps someone that's on the road trip with seth? but this is andy that's from seattle and, unfortunately i'm at work, not on a road trip. but how are you doing?
well...we had to change our plans for easter on easter morning heh. it was interesting, but ok. now i'm struggling through the introduction of Grenz's THE SOCIAL GOD AND THE RELATIONAL SELF: A TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY OF THE IMAGO DEI. how about you?
