| Introduction | I am a writer who does not get near enough writing finished, and a reader who does not read as often as I should. I am greatly interested in and occupied with the study and consideration of philosophy. I am a Christian (though perhaps not an especially successful one, and perhaps with respect to my Kierkegaard-styled thought I should not even consider myself one if I am, as I said, "not successful" at it though certainly I am chiefly concerned with Christianity and the process of becoming a Christian) and, I think, an existentialist . My favorite writer is Soren Kierkegaard. I enjoy absurdist and surreal humor though in modern times it gets a bit saturated. I would like to inspire people to think more deeply about themselves, who they are, and what they really believe. I also work as a janitor at my church while I attend college. I find college stressful and mysterious in terms of it's ultimate meaning to me, but I find janitor work fulfilling and relaxing. |

What's the earliest you've gotten up to watch cartoons and what did you see?
Probably about 7 or 8 o'clock in the morning throughout my childhood. I recall many classic shows, everything from The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh and Sonic the Hedgehog, plus too many more to name.
