About Me

I enjoy watching MASH and reading the poetry of Charles Bukowski. I love learning and thinking about God and this odd little universe he created. And I am overwhelmed with joy that I can write an "About Me" section on a website and not care what any kids will think of me by reading it. The rest you'll have to learn for yourself.

And Now For Something Completely Different ... or not

Alot of the things I have been writing recently (Now What? and some stuff I haven't posted yet) I've been writing primarily for myself. I didn't write anything for any particular audience and nothing has been written for the purpose of being read. There are, however, reasons why I am posting these things I write. One of which is so that I can organize my thoughts and so that I'll have everything out in the open so people who have access to and knowledge of this site have no excuse to not know what I write. Also, if I go back on my word or say two completely opposite things in life someone can call me out on it so I can either fess up or explain my actions and thought processes. And if that situation arises I strongly urge you to do so. I often notice that some people ignore people's mistakes or actions that they don't agree with or feel comfortable around and instead of having a mature conversation between the two of them, they would rather form an opinion and spread that opinion without full knowledge of the situation. I know that confronting everyone this way is a bit extreme but thats not the way I mean it, more of a balance of disagreement and conversation and an ability to hold your tongue when needed. I see alot of whispering in the church setting which is one reason I took a step back was so I didn't 1) fall into it or 2) blow up at everyone. That is another reason I am posting my thoughts on-line. If any of what I've been writing recently deserves an audience I would rather it be the Christians because I believe some of what I have to say needs to be heard by some of them. I'm not saying that it is strictly faith-based writing, its just writings from my life and observation that I have made. If anyone who does not share in a similar belief system of mine wishes to read what I have to say, go ahead. I would greatly value your opinion on the subject also. If anyone has anything to say (agree or disagree) with anything I put here on this site, I encourage you to tell me either publicly or privately (depending on your preference) because that is the only way I'm going to know how you feel. You making an opinion based only on what I have to write here isn't probably the best plan of action. Talk to me, I want to hear your views. I'm going to stop writing now because this took an odd direction that I didn't originally plan but I still wrote stuff I wanted to write. So feedback on anything is greatly appreciated ...

... There are times when I can't always find the words for what I want to say so if anything seems unclear to you feel free to e-mail me and I'll try to elaborate and make more sense. That is all ... I promise.
