Strangers in the night... exchanging profiles.

I can see now I am gonna have to "up the ante" here. You see, I am looking for a female to buy things for. I wish to shower a woman with an unspecified amount of material objects. Is it you? (Not if you're not a female, and if you are a guy quit looking at my profile and stealing my ideas) You can be sure a large amount of material objects will certainly exchange hands. Do you like cubic zirconia? And with me you can always super size. HA. Let me also add that I own a house, a car, and a dvd player!

Oh, while you're here. I wanted to ask you: If you were a fish what kind of fish would you be? And why?

I'm gonna answer my own question till someone else does. I would be a Chimaera Monstrosa. I know what you are thinking, "he just picked the most bizarre fish he could, How trite." (I love the word trite, its never trite) But you are wrong. An angler fish is more bizarre. Well, maybe. But if i were a Chimaera Monstrosa i would have a really kool name. And i would hang around beaches and terrify small children. After which i would leave with due haste. (terrified children make the water yellow)

OK, since you wont answer that one, how about this. If you had to choose to either go blind, go deaf or lose the ability to walk, which would you choose? And why?

My answer is deafness. It is the least handicapped. In terms of conversations it can be overcome. I think most people would agree with me except for musicians... die-hard fanatic musicians. You would no longer hear the beauty of music. Although you cant really compare beauty seen to beauty heard. Picture, if you will, a lush valley, a river winds its way down the valley pouring over a cliff with overhanging branches forming a waterfall that spills into a blue lake, while the mist rises up you can see a rainbow formed above the lake... in complete silence. VS. An orchestra perfoming in complete darkness. Although this brings up another point, how well can sounds be described with words vs. visuals. But then again what if the person was always blind. How does their mind see things? How do we look in a blind man's mind? Do we all look the same in the dark? Do the blind dream in color? What if I add another question to the first. What if you could lose the sensation of feeling instead of the first 3 choices? No warm, no cold, no pain, no ease. Just numb. It is good and bad. Or is it? While I'm on the subject of feeling, if you could never have mental pain or anguish again but never fall in love, would it be worth it? Why is falling in love even important? Do we need it? It seems that God has programmed us with a need to seek out a mate. Even when we feel it isnt necessary, when we feel it is irrelavant, that desire, that need comes back doesn't it... Really, have you ever thought about how bad it really is to be alone? Socrates is most famous for his saying "An unexamined life is not worth living." I will continue while I'm on such a positive note.

One last question. A train leaves toledo traveling at 43.5 mph it is heading to Cleveland and has 2 .25 hr stops. It is carrying 300 passengers and 1200.45 tons of freight and must travel at an average of 30 mph when going up 12 inclines totaling a distance of 4000 meters. But when going down the inclines the train will be traveling 30 km/hr for a total distance of 3000 meters. If the passengers eat a dinner of roast chicken and dumpling what is the approximate braking distance of the train when it arrives at the station? HINT: The dumplings have gravy.

Whoa my eyes don look like they line up in that picture but they do. I was looking at the screen to the right.

Glory be. There are so many interests, like, in my savings account. But first i must tell you a story that may well chill you to the bone! I know what you are thinking... "A story? What a waste of time." And you are right. So skip past it. You were going to just skim my profile anyway. Then you begin to see how long it is and exhale in disgust.

This is the story of my battle with a Common North American Banded Blood-drinker Monkey. Also known as a "Bandit monkey". Some ignorant people just call them raccoons. They have opposable thumbs. Do you know what that means? They can wield a gun! It adds a whole other level of danger when an animal can pull a gun on you. I was relaxing at my parents house when suddenly i heard some unearthly noise outside. So i grab my gun and go outside to inspect it. Having no light I had to inspect the area by the light of the moon. When coming around the garage i suddenly saw it. A horrifying and menacing creature. I dont think it was just a bandit monkey, i think it was half bear. Like some twisted, evil scientific experiment. Or maybe a were-bear! Like it was bitten by a bear once and now by the light of a full moon it turns into a half-bear, half bandit monkey creature. Anyway it reared its ugly head letting out a blood-curdling screech/roar. Its gaping maw revealing its blood stained teeth. Under foot it had the remains of one of my dads dogs. It immediately went into a charge. I cycled the reciever of my M60 and squeezed the trigger. The creature would not stop. It was lit by the muzzle flash of my gun (it was like a strobe light). The bullets tore its hulking mass but its jaw only opened wider spraying bloody saliva. I knew, as its charge didnt slow, that this creature had tasted human flesh and was now consumed with the hunger. I began to fall back as i burned through my ammo belt. My back was now against a tree and my ammo was low. It was mere feet away. Calling upon an inner strength not seen on earth in ages i shot up the tree like a jet squirrel. The creature roared and swiped at the tree. The whole tree shook. This was beginning to be much like my battle against the cattle. He repeatedly clawed at the tree sending splinters flying fro and to. Soon he would topple the tree and then it would be over. I had to formulate a plan. Then it hit me.... A bird. What, are they blind at night? I had a plan too. I climbed higher up into the branches as the tree swayed and creaked. It was all according to plan. I began to sway back and forth, high in the branches. Finally i could hear the base of the tree crack as the creature continued to claw. I then jumped down, landing behind the abomination. It turned to attack. I ran. He was mere inches away when he lunged. Keepin him in sight i dodged to the left,deftly. This would only be a second delay... or so he thought. When suddenly the tree came crashing down upon him, crushing his massive body. He then growled till the wounds bled out. I remained there until daylight. Little did i know this was only the beginning. As the black helicopters rose over the horizon.

Other interests include: Twinkies. Pizza. Cola. Cookies. Reading (I'm not big on fiction, although i do read it sometimes, i read a lot of different stuff though.) Movies. Oh i like going places and doing things that are fun from time to time. I like board games. I like shooting... anything that moves. Im kidding i usually shoot stationary targets. Lessee where was I? I love music. I like metal I also like oldies, classical, blues, jazz, and some alternative. I hate rap (which isnt music anyway), country and pop (which includes christian pop... audio anguish). I can stand people who listen to any music though. I also am interested in parentheses, commas, and run on sentences, but you already knew that. I love martial arts movies. I have over 2 hundred of them. I spend a total of about 3 hours a week working out, mainly lifting weights... I dont really like it. I just like being in shape. One of my disinterests is watching TV, i dont do it, I especially hate watching sports on TV. I can enjoy going to see sports though. I do enjoy movies and DVDs. I am a down to earth guy, I know what you are thinking "that means he's poor" but you are wrong. I am rich. Rich and famous. I mean rich in personality of course. If you are wondering why you dont recognize me while i am famous it is becuase I am more infamous than famous i guess. I don't like false advertising, so: I am a guy who jokes around a lot (and I meet a lot of Christian girls who do not like Christian guys who have an active sense of humor, thus our conversations are short one-shots.), I tend to be rather introverted when I'm around those I don't know well, I have a big, goofy, buck toothed smile, and a large misshapen head.

I actually have tons of interests. I read on lots of different subjects and i really like nerdy things. A lot of reformed people do though. We are into history, and war! (the men are), and board games (war board games!). Like, last year, when I read a book on Cryptozoology, one on Unsolved mysteries of the Sea, and one on Mad Science experiments (real ones, like when they attached a puppies head to another dogs body and it lived for 6 days! Gripping! Positively gripping!). To name a few.

I think I would probably like cats. I am still looking for a place that serves them. May have to take matters into my own hands. I have a grill.

Much of this profile will be under works. This is like writing my biography. Great granny Gertrude, is there a box for my preferred underwear brand?

Am I supposed to type out pictures here? Shoot. Never tried. I'll give er a wirl.

Its a space man. Or a monkey... with antenae.

This is ridiculous. It's double spaced. I cannot make acceptable "portraits" under these conditions!

I should mention that just because I have a John McCain POW bracelet picture that doesn't mean I am a fan of his. He is a war hero that I respect.

At first it made me want to start fights with evangelicals. But in the long term it is the only proper way to understand our relationship towards God and Christs relationship toward us. It has made me humble and gives me peace to know that God is in fact "GOD". And we have nothing. Which goes along with my favorite bible verse which i could have sworn had a box but now i cant find it, so im gonna plug it here: Whom have I in heaven but You?And there is none upon earth that I desire besides You. Psalm 73:25. This verse says 2 very powerful things. 1. We are the enemies of heaven, not to mention the targets of hell and the curse of the earth. Christ is all we have anywhere. (I know its old testament) Christ is the reason that we are not enemies of God any longer. 2. God is all we need and all we should desire, which is the struggle for us who are so naturally idolatrous.

Yea verily. I am currently reading John Owens "mortification of sin" which is very easy to read (well its a abridged so it better be) and is very powerful and convicting.

I listen to a lot of Sproul too.

Biblically I am reading a lot in the new Testament. Luke right now.

Now I am on Ecclesiastes, but I go back to it a lot. Its my favorite book of the Bible.

Ezekial. Wow you can't help thinking about our country as you read it.

Thats a tough one. When i was a kid it was Joseph. Because God used his brothers evil for good. He was a dedicated man of God and forgave his brothers.

Now id have to say Paul even though it sounds totally trite. When God did a work in him his change was radical and he became the most influential, self sacrificing, and dedicated leader of the early church.

Also Peter. Because he was all fired up and didn't question his faith. Yet he didn't see the sin in himself and God showed it to him the day Christ died. He did not continue down that path though and returned to following Christ. I think Peter is a character we can see in all of us. So often we deny that the hard times will affect us or we just think we are stronger than we actually are. His strength is made perfect in our weakness, THAT is something you must be reformed to truly understand.

I guess. Its not really likable. But let God's will be done.

Sometimes its a cake walk. I feel totally unaffected. Tough as nails. How bad is it being single? It could be far worse. Where is my punching bag? While other times I start singing Sinead O'Connors "Nothing Compares 2 You" and then i feel like i will break like glass.

Funny. Honest. Passionate/argumentative. Creative.

Gods Grace, Gods Mercy, and his Son... Thats what everyone puts down though, Ill put down 3 more...

Good food, A warm Bed, and all our freedoms.

I enjoy those who have good senses of humor, common sense, a reasonable level of intelligence, and down to earth (no "Little Miss Priss"). I apologize for my crassness (... is that a word? I think it is.) I know online you cannot hear my tone and it may be tough to tell when i am joking. To be honest i like shocking online people by making them think I am meaner than i am.

Overall there are a lot of personality traits that one should seek in another person which you can find in the word of God as well as what one prefers personally. Yet from my experience the one trait that seems to stick out the most and lets you know above all else "this gal's a keeper" is when you have a gal who is loved by her rich ailing relatives. Thats the only way to be sure. Thats how i would know that its a woman i could love. If you happen to fit this definition i would even be willing to waive the one time non-refundable application fee of 100 dollars in order to fill the position of "wife". (The position of wife is standing... in front of the stove. HA again!)

It was someone i wasn't supposed to be dating. Its been many moons since last i had a girlfriend. Untold eons. Civilizations have rose and fall since I last had a girlfriend.

In high school i was voted "Most likely to be killed by his own wife." I'm gonna show them though. I'm gonna show them all. I'm gonna slowly build up my resistance to cyanide then when i wake up in the morning and go downstairs ill say "Good morning sugar lump!" and she'll say "Wha...what are you doing up!?" Then I'll say "what do you mean? I'm half an hour late for work." She'll reply "Oh... yes... I mean of course! Did you drink your coffee last night?" I'll say "Did you take a blow to the head? I don't drink coffee." And then she'll curse under her breath while I cheerfully whistle my way to work. The next morning i wake up and walk down the stairs "Good morning pumpkin head!" and she'll spit out her coffee and say "Son of a...! I mean... didn't you drink your......" Then she'll stop suddenly and grasp her throat. "This was the..." Her coffee mug falls from her hands and crashes to the floor in an ironic twist. She slumps to the floor as I yell for her "Candydoodle? CANDYDOODLE!" I rush to her, bracing her head. There is no breath. "NOOOOOOOO!" "Why God? Why? Take m... the dog instead!" "Take the dog instead!!"

"Isolation reveals true motivation"

"Deo Vindice"

"Let them hate, as long as they fear" (foreign policy in a nutshell)

"In the end we all define ourselves, by looking back at someone else"

"The unexamined life is not worth living."

"Now it's over, I'm dead, and I haven't done anything that I want. Or I'm still alive and there's nothing I want to do."

I could see the reflection in the tears
That made their way down Your face
Onto the ground I kneel upon
They form a river that overtakes me
Compassion envelops me
I forgive and release
Forgive, release
Forgiven, released

I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations - one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it - you will regret both.

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

Listen to the cry of a woman in labor at the hour of giving birth - look at the dying man's struggle at his last extremity, and then tell me whether something that begins and ends thus could be intended for enjoyment.

Dig your claws into the earth
Struggle to obtain
Holding on for all you're worth
To what death will strip away

Constructing towers in the mud
Your labor is in vain
Although it seems progress is made
The outcome is the same

Your wealth [your pride]
Dissolved [in time]
Reduced [to dust]
Your worthless treasures rust

I'm a fan of John Adams-

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other."

"But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever."

"Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide."

Because power corrupts, society's demands for moral authority and character increase as the importance of the position increases.

Power always thinks... that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws.....

The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.....

More to come. (not a quote... well i guess it has been used before)

Long boring and crappy work. 5 years. You can guess whether i enjoy it. It aint about enjoying it. Its about giving God the glory. That being said, I am very grateful i have the job and I have great management. I have been blessed. But Im doin skoolin and plan to move on. Taking classes in Industrial electronics. I have recently bought a house and dont plan to keep it for long. I would like to "flip" houses to a certain extent. I plan on flipping them slowly, unless i get someone to help and maybe some more capital. (really slowly, values are dropping, the housing market has been fitted with concrete shoes) I know how to fix and build a lot of things. My dad raised me to be a hard and knowledgable worker on most anything. He built his own house himself even though his trade was auto repair.

I have a new job, as some of you can see... actually I don't think anyone noticed.

Yes... wait a minute, how many people dislike liesure time? If you don't enjoy it then i want to know what you do for work.

I plot things.

Chicago. Where the streets have no name.

I have mainly traveled around the midwest.

Yes, my preferred underwear brand is Hanes.

I am currently reading up on Existentialism. It is a primer, before i begin Soren Kirkegaard "The Sickness Unto Death". Existentialism is about a "personal truth". This is commonly misconstrued by many to mean a "subjective truth" but it is actually a truth that has a passionate, personal element. If you are saved then Christianity is a truth that has a passionate meaning to you. This is mainly Kirkegaards theme, who is the father of Christian Existentialism. Nietzche is the father of atheistic Existentialism. His famous saying everyone knows is "God is dead". But people don't know what comes after that. Because "God is dead" the (his) logical conclusion is that there is no ultimate meaning in life. This leads to the "last philisophical question": "To be or not to be?". Suicide. If there is no God: there is no meaning to life and if there is no meaning to life apart from personal enjoyment then suicide is a logical conclusion. This is why Nietzche taught his "ubermensch" theory (superman). The ubermensch is someone who is defiant in the face of futility. This is a result of the persons upbringing and blood (genetics). (Easy to see how he influenced Hitler) This is also an important theme of Nietzche's because he believed that man had no free will, he is wholly the product of his upbringing and blood. Every path we choose was not a choice at all, we had to make THAT choice because of who we are. The Ubermensch is someone who exercises the "will to power". An intentional parody of will or perhaps a dialectic. What makes this so entertaining is that Nitzche spent the last 10 years of his life in an insane asylum. His sister charged people to see him, it seems she had the "will to power" while he did not. If you know that there is no point in living outside of God and you truly try to believe that you are a superhuman who can defy all and press on then can insanity be a surprise? It would be better to preach suicide because there is only futility. Voids cannot be filled. What is crooked cannot be made strait. Vanity of vanities, all is vanity, and grasping for the wind.
