  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Do you have anything in mind that you want for Christmas?

It's funny, when you're a kid, you just want toys. As an adult living on my own, all I want for Christmas are things I need. Right now that includes a bookshelf, a clothes dresser, and a job. :p

Things I want just for play include a few WoW T-shirts, and maybe a new rifle to continue my sharpshooting hobby. I used to enjoy that a great deal.

Do you want your own business?
I think owning my own business would be interesting, but I don't possess the personality to manage the administrative end.

Have you ever gone skinny dipping?

To my chagrin, yes.

Make three wishes. Now what were they?
That the one I care for is happy. That the Lord will one day give me the gift of His angel in my life. That I can be the man I need to be for her.

What would you list as the top 3 most important qualities in a mate?
The pat answer to this question, at least in the Christian community, is a great relationship with God. While I do desire that first and foremost, let me provide you with the three qualities I desire after that.

Primarily, I would like to be with someone with whom I have common interests. Apart from all else, my previous relationships taught me that if you share very little with your mate, it simply can't work. Even if you choose to love the person, all time spent with them is only precious in the sense of spending time with them, not precious because you enjoy those moments apart from that (I hope that made sense).

Secondly, I think it is important to be with someone to whom you are attracted. Aside from the physical, I believe it is important to be attracted to who a person is, not just their outer shell. I have dated women who were gorgeous shells, but the shells were either rotten or empty on the inside.

As far as an outer shell, I find women who are shorter and slender to be attractive, though a small tummy is cute, too. I'd like someone who takes care of their body, not just someone who uses "big bones" as an excuse. I have relatives who have larger frames, but they take care of themselves, so they are attractive people. I appreciate all hair colors, with brunette or red hair being a favorite, so long as it's at least shoulder length. I also appreciate blue or green eyes that aren't hidden amongst a deep field of makeup. So many women are more beautiful when they take off the makeup.

The third and equally important quality in a mate is love. Some say it's a cheesy movie concept or a fairy tale, but I'm one of those silly fools that believes in true love. I think that above all, if you love a person, you will show respect and trust toward that person. I believe that a mate should love God, love others, and love their own identity. Then they can truly love you as a person, and have that ability to love you when you become "one flesh" with them. If they dislike their own identity especially, then they will essentially hate a part of you when you become one flesh.

Rollercoasters: Love or Hate
With roller coasters, it's more of a love-hate relationship. I hate every moment up until the roller coaster starts moving. You'll have to fight me tooth and nail to get on a roller coaster, but once it's in motion, I just hang on for the ride and eventually enjoy the ride. I was on Top Thrill Dragster about a year ago. Going from 0-120 in 4 seconds, 400 feet in the air was a bit of an experience!

Favorite Bible parable or passage?

I have to pick just one? Hrm...being the romantic that I am, I have always loved the story of Isaac and Rebekah. The idea of what Rebekah's face looked like when she first saw Isaac makes my heart melt, really. When she knew that this is what the Lord had planned for her, and the joy that must've filled her heart when she realized what was happening.

*Sigh* :blush:

Is the glass half empty or half full?
I prefer beer steins. And if I have a beer stein, it had better be full for my first drink. After that, it can be empty all it wants. Oh. You're asking if I'm a pessimist or an optimist.

I'm a pessimist who pretends to be an optimist and who comes across as a realist. I'm one of the first to say, "Hope for the best but prepare for the worst." I'm not always chipper, and I'm not always down. It's more like the bartender is flipping a full shot glass around on his hands and elbows and whatnot, and the aim is to keep the drink in the glass. That doesn't always happen, but then again if you don't have those rough times where the glass spills, then you don't learn, right?

Through every situation I attempt to look back on my experience. Depending on the issue, I can be either very optimistic or very pessimistic.

Tom or Jerry?
I always favored Jerry...I like rodentia, for one, but am partial to domesticated rats. That, and I always thought Tom was a bit obsessive. You don't see too many episodes where Jerry instigates. Once the game is on, the gloves are off of Jerry's little paws, but for the most part he tries to keep to himself.
If you were a favorite of ice cream, what would you be?

Do you own a cookbook?

I own one or two, but prefer the Internet for my recipes that I attempt.

If I said the was the sky was red, would you believe me?

I wouldn't necessarily believe you, but I would allow you to believe that, if you wished.

How was your Thanksgiving?
I actually woke up quite depressed, but realized that even in depression, there were things to be thankful for. This is from my MySpace blog:

What am I thankful for?

? That my heart is broken, because it means I still feel.
? That I am in despair, because it means I still care.
? That my brain is working overtime, because it means I still have my mental faculties.
? That I have been in and out of tears, because it means I can still cry.
? That I have avoided taking out my emotion on my friends and family, because it means I have friends and family.
? That I feel I have hit rock bottom, because it means this isn't what it feels like at the top.
? That this is all in my head, because it means that my perception can change.
? That I am jobless, because it means that there's a thousand opportunities to find a better job than my last one.
? That I will groan and fight through another day, because it means the Lord loves me and will give me another day.
? That I can groan and fight, because it means I haven't given up.
? That my mother will grimace when she hugs me because of the cigarette smoke. That means I have a mother who will still hug me, despite my bad decisions.
? That I can still inhale that which is killing me faster, because it means the Lord thinks I'm not a waste of oxygen.
? That my father will cry upon hearing of my lack of progress, because it means my father loves me.
? That my car has problems, because I have a car.
? That my room is a horrid mess, because it means I have a roof over my head.
? That my disease still gives me pain and humiliation, because it means that I am still alive.
? That I feel like I'm in a taste of Hell, because this is as close to Hell as I will get due to the Savior who loves me.
? That my life consists of (usually) waking up, going to work, coming home, watching a movie or playing a game, and going to sleep (eventually), because it means that life consists of something.
? That either this will pass or I will pass, because it means that either way, things will improve someday.

No matter what you're feeling today, there's something to be thankful for. Your day might suck, but at least you have today. Just something to consider.

The good news is that after I got together with family, my day significantly brightened, and I was able to rejoice in those things I was thankful for.

Did you shop on Black Friday?
I shopped for jobs on Black Friday, which was, to say the least...interesting.

What was your favorite cartoon as a kid?
My favorite cartoon was probably either ThunderCats or SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron. A close one was also Johnny Quest (both the original and redone shows). I appreciated the mixture of science fiction with technology, fantasy, and the like.

Do you think that you have a good sense of humor?
My sense of humor takes a certain personality to understand, but I can laugh at most things. Stupid humor is really hard for me to laugh at, but clever dialogue is always fun.

Have you ever been to Disney?

My mother used to work there in her early twenties (before she met my Dad), so we used to go back for her nostalgia. :)
