I am not super great at make friends my own age. Though I am a social butterfly that loves to talk to people. I would really like to make some friends to get on here and talk to. Is anybody interested? You Probably want to know a little bit about me first though.

I am 17 years old now. I have friends all the way from 13 all the way up to people in there 60's. So age is not a friendship barrier for me. I want to be a youth pastor when I am older and possibly get my own church someday. I love to skype with people.

I am trying to start a non-profit organization to help those with depression and show them and all God's love. I am trying to prevent suicide, cutting, and addictions from happening. I am doing this because for many years I struggled with depression. Not the kind that can be fixed by medicine. I know there are others out there who struggled with the same problems in different scenario's that I went through. I was lucky that I found a church and new friends and God's unconditional love. I just want to help make the world a better brighter one.

I am not an avid television watcher. If I watch anything it is online or on Netflix. I watch all sorts of shows. I watch Doctor Who, Star Trek, Torchwood, Sherlock, Supernatural, Eureka, Warehouse 13, and tons of anime. That is not all I watch those are just the shows I actively follow.

I watch movies too. I watch more movies than TV. Among my favorite would be Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Star Wars, District 9, Passion of the Christ(sad, but good.), Apocalyptico, To Save a Life, Monty Python and the Holy Grail(anything Monty Python.), I really love a ton of movies that is just what comes to mind.

I love music. My taste in music is quite eclectic. Among Christian music I listen to August Burns Red, Children 18:3, Disciple, Manafest, Love and Death, Family Force 5, Flyleaf, Hawk Nelson, Icon for Hire, KJ-52, Kutless, Lecrae, The Devil Wears Prada, Project 86, Relient K, The School of Worship, Thousand Foot Krutch, and The Wedding. Among music that doesn't necessarily have a Christian meassage I also listen to Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cake, Modest Mouse, Beck, We Came as Romans, Creedance Clearwater Revival, and The Beastie boys. Again these are just some of the bands that I like there are tons of others. I do play a little guitar myself. I am not Malmsteen by any means, but I do know a little. I very much would love to learn to play the cello.

I am also a gamer. I play PC when I can, but I also play PS3. I play League of Legends, Star Trek online, WoW(When I feel like paying for a month of gameplay.) on the PC. I play all Bethesda games like Fallout 3, New Vegas, Morrowing, Oblivion, and Skyrim. I play the Assassin's Creed, Uncharted, and God of War series. I love the Oddworld games. I play classic console games pretty frequently like the N64, Atari, NES, and SNES. I am pretty stoked for the PS4 release, Destiny, and Elderscrolls online.

Since there is no work in the town I live in I am spending most of my Summer in fitness and God. I am going to start going to the track and running while listening to PASTCAST'S. I want to be in good physical shape by the time I become a youth pastor. I also want to do mission work after I am done with high school. If you want to get to know me any more than that just ask. I am kind of open book. I would like to exchange testimonies when we get to know eachother a little better. I welcome both guys and girls.

You are blessed, brother in Christ!

I haven't really planned out my life. I could only envision myself working for the United Nations (so I'm gonna be working for the Antichrist yay ^_^), but I feel more motivated by salary and personal benefits (i.e. being tax exempt, will be very important in the future with rising taxes), rather than helping others. I feel so selfish. Meanwhile you remind me of Saint Francis of Assisi, you would like to go out of your way to help God's children. That is completely commendable!

Please tell me more about your Christian life, tell me how did you find Christ. I live in a country that persecutes people of my faith, so I'm always interested in seeing the faith of people of the democratic world.

Anyway I see that you want to become in good physical shape, I tell you it is so rewarding to run (I have asthma, doesn't make a difference)! I used to be so unhealthy...until I just couldn't bear being unfit anymore, so I started running last summer. I started running very slowly at first, managing about ten minutes a day. Now I can run for over 2 hours if I want to (so that's 20km, I run at 10km/hour).

I recommend the treadmill if you can access it. Reasons for that are the gym being at a more preferable temperature, the floor being softer (very important, running on hard terrain can result in bits of the femur breaking off), being safer and of course you might have access to a TV, which will greatly distract you (when I'm watching a movie while running, time just flies, I forget about being tired). Diet also plays a major part in fitness. If you need any help regarding health and fitness, please ask me, I was in your position!
