: About Me

I enjoy finding new ways to communicate more articulately and effectively. So much lies on our understanding and interpretations. Language and communication are an ever challenging mystery, just because we both speak english, doesn't nessacarily mean we speak the same language.

I spent the better part of my adult life chasing dreams of being a proffessional musician. I still write and record my own music when time permits, and I am always looking to enhance my guitar collection. :)

What kinds of music do I make, you ask? I like ambient music, new age, hard rock, metal (real metal, not that cheesey spandex-pants and lipstick stuff), I have many moods so I like very diverse styles of music.

Getting older and more reflective (and hopefully, less self absorbed) I am engaged in a daily quest for inner peace. I'm finding this by slowing down when I can, taking a breath (breating techniques are of prime importance in meditation) trying to excercise more patience (especially in traffic) listening more, speaking less and applying principles and discipline that I believe in.

I have taken the responsibility to know my own mind, to examine my faith, and hopefully succeed in understanding the world and people around me just a little better. It's an incredible journey, however the human condition compells me to get lazy and lose focus from time to time. I don't think I'm alone in that, but sometimes we all feel like we're alone. Many of those times, we know how we feel, but are at a loss for words...

Are we to quick to point fingers at others for being hypocrites? Classic example is non-Christians who seem to spend a lot of time crucifying people of faith for not living up to standards that they themselves are incapable of upholding Example: Young woman speaking to friend: " yeah, I used to go to church, but it was all like preaching about being good, when half the people in church are a bunch of sinners themselves! I got out! I HATE hypocrites, and that's all Christians are." That paragraph should really expose the real hypocrite. Another example: In the town where I live, there is a ...
