Robert's Interests
|
| General | Getting to know God more (always the hard part), computers, but especially Apple computers... biking, webpages, driving around both aimlessly and for a vacation... and lying around on a couch doing nothing for a while. | | Music | It ranges. You'd be better off looking through my iPod for the stuff I listen to the most. But I listen to a lot of Christian artists, plus the strange combination of pop and R&B (I'm no expert, trust me), along with things like the Lord of the Rings soundtrack.
I managed to start getting into Jazz (an unofficial goal of 2005) and now have CDs of John Coltrane, Miles Davis, the Mahadishvnu Orchestra and Duke Ellington. Of those four, I absolutely love Miles Davis the most (with John Coltrane's My Favorite Things running a close second, but all of the CDs are exceptional. | | Movies |
The Urilift System
| | The Urilift is a urinal that rises out of the ground at night. It's pupose to stop people from peeing on the street.

What in the world is this category for? My favorite movies? What kinds of movies I watch? Erm... all right... :-) Look at it this way... I loved both Finding Nemo and Eternal Sunshine for the Spotless Mind. Anything halfway intelligent will probably earn my vote. Honorable mentions: The Thin Red Line, Moulin Rouge, Magnolia, American Beauty. Links to movies may come later. Best movies for 2005: Pride and Prejudice (I admit it! Don't taunt me!), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, March of the Penguins, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. 2005 To See Movies: Duma, The Chronicles of Narnia, Howl's Moving Castle, King Kong, Murderball, Rent, Wallace and Grommit. Told you I'd watch about anything. | | Television | The TV is currently dead, so 'til we set up a new one, this section will remain intentionally blank. | | Books | Anything by C.S. Lewis, at this point, is something I'm interested in. Specific titles? The Screwtape Letters was my most recent read; the one before that, Til We Have Faces, which is a wonderful rebranding of the greek mythology of Cupid and Eros. Then of course there's Mere Christianity, which is a series of short writings about aspects of the Christian life, and all seven volumes of The Chronicles of Narnia, which is a children's story with some fairly obvious parallels, but still the best books I have read that were clearly aimed at that age group, short of Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings.
I did skip out on The Silmarillion, though... it's like reading a fictionalized version of the Old Testament, which, if I were to be perfectly frank with God, I would say contains great practical applications. You just have to look for it. Hard. | | Heroes | Next to God? Sheesh. That's a tough one... Pastor Jon, I suppose. Anyone and everyone on the frontlines and back offices of the fight for social justice. :-) By the way, that's a wonderful topic to start discussions about... especially in 21st century America... |

Robert's Blurbs |
About me:
I never like these things because it seems I never say enough. Ah well. I'll try it anyway.
I'm 24 now, now two years out of college (I graduated in December of '03). For about a year I worked for the relatively financially troubled seemingly financially God-forsaken United Airlines, but now I'm working at a place that's a clearinghouse for futures, developing webapps (ideally) but instead now I'm also a Database Administrator.
I've been married to my wife Jennie since December 4th, 2004, and we went on a honeymoon trip to the Caribbean that was absolutely stellar. You can read more about it at our wedding website.
I'll add more to this space as I get to it, like college and stuff, but for right now I think I'm all done. :-)

Who I'd like to meet:
Given that I'm married, I'm not in any mood to start up anything relational outside of friendship. Sorry. :-)
