I just listen to whatever happens to be on the radio while I'm driving. I don't care enough to buy an ipod, though I probably should. Bob Marley, The Killers, Sublime, and Coldplay.

''Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.''
- Siddhartha Gautama (The Buddha)
About me: "If you're the same kind of person as I am, I'd be glad to continue questioning you; otherwise, let's forget it. What kind of person am I? I'm happy to have a mistaken idea of mine proved wrong, and I'm happy to prove someone else's mistaken ideas wrong, I'm certainly not less happy if I'm proved wrong then if I've proved someone else wrong, because, as I see it, I've got the best of it: there's nothing worse then the state which I've been saved from, so that's better for me than saving someone else. You see, there's nothing worse for a person, in my opinion, then holding mistaken views about the matters we're discussing at the moment."-Socrates
"And yet, it is obvious that an utter evolution in our thinking could be accomplished in a single generation: if parents and teachers would merely give honest answers to the questions of every child."-Sam Harris
Who I'd like to meet: "Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is none more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory in itself, then this thing called Christianity. Too absurd for belief, too impossible to convince, and too inconsistent for practice, it renders the heart torpid, or produces only atheists and fanatics."-Thomas Paine (my favorite Founding Father)
Matt | MySpace Video(2 Timothy 4:2 ) 2 Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching. (2 Timothy 4:3) For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. I'M STILL PRAYING FOR YOU BRO, I HOPE YOU LIKE CHRISTIAN ROCK. WELL TAKE CARE, HAPPY THANKSGIVING AND GOD BLESS YOU TIM.
I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR YOU TIM, I WILL PRAY THAT GOD WILL OPEN THE EYES OF YOUR HEART SO THAT YOU WILL SEE THE TRUTH, JUST LIKE HE DID FOR ME. I WAS AN ATHEIST, TRUST ME ITS A MIRACLE THAT I BELIEVE. GOD BLESS YOU TIM, I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS VIDEO.Luke 18:27 Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."
Testimony Of An Ex-Satanist(I am sending you to them 18to open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.' Acts 26:18)
18For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate."c..]" class="footnote">[c]
20Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength.
THIS MIRACLE WAS DONE IN THE NAME OF JESUS. NOT BUDDAH,MAHAMMUD, KRISHNA ETC...THE BIBLE IS TRUE, JESUS IS REAL MY FRIEND. I'VE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED HEALINGS MYSELF, I HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS, THATS HOW I KNOW THE BIBLE IS TRUE. YOU SHOULD START READING THE NEW TESTIMENT, INSTEAD OF DIGGING IN THE OLD TESTAMENT JUST LIKE EVERY ATHEIST OUT THERE. THE OLD TESTAMENT IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE SHOULD NOT DO, AND TO SHOW HOW SERIOUS SIN IS. BEFORE WE DIDNT HAVE GRACE, BUT NOW WE DO BECAUSE OF JESUS, JESUS HAD TO DIE BECAUSE GOD IS JUST, SOME ONE HAD TO DIE FOR OUR SINS, IF IT WASN'T FOR JESUS HUMANITY WOULD NOT EXIST TODAY.
The Key to happiness is balance. The key to achieving balance is self-awarness. Do not let the merchants erode your quest for self-awareness by destroying your emotinal peace w/ unwarranted stress & labor. Instead, rise above the circus, peek behind the curtain. Learn to see beyound the masks. Avoid the creeping pestilence of mindless consumerism. Open your mind & absorb the rays of enlightenment. Lead your life; don't be led. Understand that a man and/or woman who does not know himself will never be able to find peace.
Barack The Joker Obama has been laughing his way through his first year in office. He continues to throw around billions like it's confetti. His promises of curtailing job losses never materialize despite all the comical stimulus projects he has funded. Obama has shown that he would be more at home under the big top than in the White House.
America was built with the values of individual liberty, self-reliance, and personal responsibility. The US economy is one of the greatest in the world thanks in part to the principles of capitalism upon which it was founded. President Obama seems committed to redefining America's economy. In just a few short months he has forced the government into industries like finance and automobiles. Billions have been invested into ridiculous stimulus projects which the private market would have never supported, all while the national debt skyrockets. While the consequences of these actions have largely been ignored by the media and the public, Obama's next joke affects everyone. Obama is trying to force socialized health care on all Americans. If he succeeds it will mean the end of the private health care industry, lower quality care, long lines, and higher prices for all. Obama's Health Care reform attempt is just the latest in a series of attempts to move the US towards socialism. [[plus he wants people to turn in the names of people who are against his healthcare plan]] This is the closest that the US has ever been to becoming a socialist economy and we are not even 1/4th of the way through the current presidential term. The freedom of all Americans is on the line. Socialism Is No Joke.
