About me: I am the last person in the United States to join MySpace. I have a blog that I spend time updating at www.cameronconant.blogspot.com, but this MySpace page, well, not so much.
I am a writer, or hope to be, or always was...I'm not sure which.
I'm left-handed. I like coffee. I'm Episcopalian/ Anglican. I'd like to start sketching more. I like Picasso and the Russian writers.
I like this singer-songwriter named Josh Rouse, but mainly, I'm a U2 fanatic. I think Bono's brilliant, though I don't agree with him on everything. Some days I'm a Libertarian, some a Democrat, and some, a Republican (gasp), though hopefully not a "neo-con" (buzzword alert). I voted for Obama and he's inspired me to consider working for the government in some capacity. I have the best parents on the planet, a younger brother who's taller and better looking than I am in D.C, and a younger sister who is better looking than both my brother and I.
Who I'd like to meet: Jesus, The guys who made the Jesus videos on Vintage21.com, Bono, The Edge, Eugene Peterson, Judas, Shakespeare, Langston Hughes, William Carlos Williams, Picasso, Einstein, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Emily Dickenson, Frederick Douglas, Abe Lincoln, Walt Whitman, Solomon, Cleopatra, Frank McCourt, Richard Rohr, You
