| Introduction | I am a returning student, after 25 years away from academia, my brain needs excercise, and I thirst for knowledge. I've been a contractor for longer than I've been anything else, and I'm burned out. I play ice hockey for a stress reliever, but I also really enjoy competition so it gets a little stressful at times, big games, most-win situations, etc. I also like the physical nature of the game and enjoy the banging and nastiness that can sometimes occur. I wish for a world of peace, for quiet evenings around the firepit with friends and family, for greater patience, both from within myself, and in the world. I seek to find in people, love for their Savior and, when that love is not evident, to plant a seed. In those whom I meet who are struggling, I look for ways to help them turn inward, to find their Saviors' love within themselves, only to help them turn outward to serve others. |
| Interests | Music, esp. hard rock/ new rock, ice hockey, writing, learning, listening, reading, helping others |
| Favorite movies | Independence Day, 50 first dates, Gladiator, Sleepless in Seattle. Is that a broad enough spectrum? lol. I don't have a favorite genre, and I can sit down and watch the most inane thing there is on the tube or big screen, and find merit in it. I don't spend too much time on the couch, however, and the only thing I really watch on TV anymore is hockey (did I already say that I love hockey?). |
| Favorite music | HARD ROCK, AC/DC, Chevelle, Audioslave,Five Finger Death Punch, Twelve Stones, Saving Abel, Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu, Alter Bridge, Mettalica, I could go on and on. Sometimes I wish the singer would shut up, because it is the instrumentation that I enjoy the most, so that probably explains how I can handle "ALL THAT NOISE", as my father called it. On the other hand, I love to sing the hymns in church, to hear someone really PLAY the piano, not just bang the keys. |
| Favorite books | Scriptures, of course, Tolkien, La'Amour, Grisham, Kellerman, Michener, Patterson, DeMille, oh and James Herriot, I loved those books! |
Which is more important to you and why: flexibility or expandability?
Flexibility sort of implies the ability to stretch, to bend or adjust. Not that there is anything bad about being flexible, but I would say that expandability is far more important. If I study a new topic of interest, for instance, I can expand my abilities, my understanding, my capacities. I can GROW and, to me, THAT is the essence of life.
