About me

Gender Male
Occupation I'm in transition
Location The Great Plains, United States
Introduction I try not to take myself too seriously, but I know I have far too much. So I'm trying to learn how to laugh again, as I had forgotted for a while there. Also I'm relearning to enjoy life; you know, like when we were kids. The biggest challenge ahead is learning how to love God with all my heart, and soul, and mind, and strength. This one is not really that hard when you know the truth. But along with it comes learning to love others as I love myself, and that one is, as they say, "a horse of a whole different color." I think I need to learn to love myself a little more, but the problem may be that I know all these facts about me. Sometimes the facts are simply wrong or they are just stuck in the past. I'm trying to get my facts to line up with the truth. As someone once asked a great man, "what is truth?" If he had only known.
Interests Finding my place in the universe, walking with God, and while I'm at it, art, books, words, movies, old movies, (mostly), music, cooking, surfing the internet, blogging, spending time with friends, talking, listening, and oh yes, travel, (but everyone says that one).
