About Me
I hate being passive aggressive. I don't like people imposing on others by being clueless. We should try not to be too needy, clingy, or otherwise intrusive....by infringing on others and their right to tread the path as they please. I love my family more than anything in the world and am loyal and loving as long as you give me the breathing space and respect I deserve. You deserve breathing space and respect too. In another life, I was a super hero, though I never donned a cape. I am a "social justice" creature. I advocate for those being wronged. In other words, do not hog up a single lane road and go under the speed limit.
I trust, but need verification. I love, but not freely. I give more than I like to take. I would gladly take a bullet for any and all of my children. I don't want to die slowly. I want to go in a sudden strike of random lightning. I believe in God and hope to see my deceased family members when I die. I am basically a little ten year old boy who has grown up, realizing that the disillusionment of youth is just that... illusion. My soul still grieves that life is as it is and is not what I saw projected onto my screen. I was built for naivety and fields of merry. We didn't get that did we?! So like you, I deal.
I am a Christian, but find many structures that we have put into place flawed and secularized. For example, I am not a fan of most Christian "rock". To me, much of it is cheesy and the "branded" sound is not appealing to me. I would rather sing an old Civil War era hymn like Blessed Be the Tie That Binds over most Mercy Me type of stuff anyday. I think a lot of that manmade Christian cheesiness has spilled over into today's churches too. Megachurches? Light shows and enrollment in the thousands? Again, stick me in the Backwater Baptist or Methodist Church anyday...where the congregation numbers a couple hundred, hymnals are still used, and the church picnic is out back and everyone knows your name. That's my taste in Christianity. I am an old soul in a glamorized, neon-lit, cheesed out era of worship.

Hi, I want to write something on here, but it's too dark to read it. Mom
