"Love your neighbor, be a good person, that's it! When you start turning the stories into literal translations of heirarchies and power, well you end up with this. People are losing faith because they don't see how what you've turned the religion into applies to them. They've lost touch with any idea of any kind of religion and when they have no mythology to try and live their lives by, they
just start spewing a bunch of crap out of their mouths."
-Priest Maxi, South Park, Red Hot Catholic Love
"Any society willing to give up a little liberty for a little security will deserve neither and lose both." -Benjamin Franklin
"I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forego their use."
-Galileo Galilei
It's dangerous to go alone, take this.
"I remember when Chef was just a three year old little man. He came running up to me with a big smile and his little chef's hat on. And he said "Papa! Papa!" I said, "What do you need Chef my boy?" And he said, "I need about tree-fitty." Well, it was about that time I got suspicious, I said, "Chef, why do you need tree-fitty?" He said, "My imaginary friend Boo-boo the dinosaur wants it." I went to my son's room and sure enough, there was the Lock Ness Monster."
-Jerome McGilroy, South Park, Succubus

"Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today!"
If I lived anywhere near a beach, I'd be a total beach bum. There's just something about the hot sun and cool water and hordes of chicks that really turns
my crank. I am an avid fitness buff, including running and weightlifting, though I generally only excel at one at a time. When I'm training hard in the
weight room, my lap times seem to sag. There have been reported sightings of me at the local YMCA, just a nasty rumor? I spend more time on this danged ol'
computer than I'd like to admit, but there's just always more stuff to do on 'em, ya know? I like installing and testing software in Windows and Linux,
usually busy sweatin' too many details.
I host and maintain three websites Iredell Photography Club, Hikers of Iredell County, and the YMCA of Alexander in my spare time. I like a good comedy movie, stand-up and sketch comedy and animated comedies. I'm not too
much for situation comedies, but Seinfeld would have to be an exception. That ones pretty darn good. I have a selective ear for alternative music, I don't
like all of it, but the ones I do like, I really really like. I'm currently a member of two local clubs, chess (informal) and amateur astronomy. Well,
that's enough rambling for now, drop me a line in the comments below, I'd love to hear from ya.
