About Me

I'm a committed life-long learner--and if I resent my own mortality it's largely because I'll die with so much left to learn. My post-college autodidactic efforts have focused mostly on world history and world philosophy/religion, as I've attempted to gain the "long view"--of understanding the parts in relation to the whole. Basically, a lot of my efforts and energies are devoted to increasing my knowledge, harmonizing my psychic life, developing character (fingers crossed), and partaking in meaningful/ennobling relationships. Of course, I shouldn't paint too austere a picture of myself. I mean, I spend a lot of time on YouTube, too. Indeed, most of my interests are far from highbrow: I d*ck around a lot online, love popular television, and like to keep up with my favorite musicians/singers and their work. It's not all music videos and sketch comedy; I do read a lot for leisure, as I enjoy keeping up with current events and I always like to have a book going (can't say I read that many, however). I also like to get out as often as I can: I love to meet up with friends for dinner or just a little TV watching. I like to run (30+ miles/week) and hike--I've completed a few marathons and summited a few peaks in California. Once a week, I volunteer downtown, helping to serve a warm meal to our city's homeless and every Sunday I go to church, where I sometimes help out in the children's nursery. Don't really know who I'd be without a solid faith community--and I don't want to find out. I work at a job I don't love, but I've been there for about 6 years now and they're good to me. Made a quarter-life course correction recently and I'll be starting a grad program in psychology in L.A. (Azusa, actually) come Fall. I'll be moving to the city of Orange in August.. I'm good at i'm really good at laughing... a lot. but hey, it's better to laugh too much than too little, right? : )
