About me:

No man knows till he has suffered from the night how sweet and dear to his heart and eye the morning can be. When the sun grew so high this morning that it struck the top of the great gateway opposite my window, the high spot which it touched seemed to me as if the dove from the ark had lighted there. My fear fell from me as if it had been a vaporous garment which dissolved in the warmth.

From Dracula by Bram Stoker

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
-Ghandi

Hi, I'm Christopher.
I live in Colorado.
I have a morbid sense of humor, overwhelming curiosity, and a love for the little things in life. I love meeting new people, if you want to be my friend here on MySpace shoot me a message first and say hi. I promise I won't bite.

Things I like:
music, beer, design, fast cars, rainy days, poetry, lazily meandering, discussions about God, girls with pretty eyes, mexican food, road trips, clove cigarettes and hookah.

Things I don't like:
judgemental people, large bugs that feel they have to fly into my face, green peppers, small yippy dogs, people who feel they need to prove something, anyone who is completely boring.

Things I do:
My Mind Is Dangerous... photography... NeverAsk

Christopher --
[noun]:

A level headed person who always makes the wrong decision

Who I'd like to meet:

Jesus Christ. Mark Twain. Tina Fey. Ghandi. Godzilla. Anyone who is even remotely interesting. Girls with red hair and/or pretty eyes. Anyone who loves their neighborhood bar. As long as you love music, can appreciate a fine automobile, and like a stiff drink, then you are cool in my book.
