Life in the Lense

Anonymous asked: It isn't really whether or not you have done it but you should know it is about what is in your heart and how you present yourself does not match up with what you say you are. Why do you consider yourself a Christian?

That sentence is a little hard to understand, but I’ll do my best to address it…  First of all, who are you to say what it is and is not about?  Who are you to know what being a christian is all about?  I have no idea who you are, and seeing as I don’t know that many christians I assume that you are not one.  So on what assumptions and pre-conceived notions are you basing your attacks on my characters, moral values, and beliefs?  It is about what is in your heart, that much is true.  And believe you me, my heart is the last thing I am worried about.  Most guys keep their sex drives down low in their penises, and let them dictate their actions.  I keep my sex drive in my heart, and in my mind, where it belongs.  I keep it in my heart because I believe sex has no place outside of love and marriage, and I keep it in my head because there is a lot of very deep thinking and personal reflection that has evolved from my thoughts about sex as a human being and as a life-long christian.  I’m not worried about my heart.  God has it safely locked away.  How I present myself?  Well I have no way to address that because I have no idea who you are or how I present myself to you.  Get off anonymous if you are going to attack me.  I’m happy to answer questions about my character, morals, values, and beliefs, but it is very frustrating when the person asking cannot respect me enough to give me their identity like any respectful adult would.  Get off Anon, and let’s talk like adults.

Why do I consider myself a Christian?  Good lord… I could write a book answering that question, but right now I’ll stick with these condensed answers: Because I gave my life to Jesus a long time ago.  Because I believe that Jesus of Nazareth was the son of God when he lived on earth 2000 + years ago.  Because I believe in a God that IS Love, because I have dedicated my life to loving and serving others to the best of my human and depraved ability.  I go to church every sunday (not that that defines one as a christian at all) and because there is literally no time ever that I do not feel that I am in constant companionship with Jesus.  To answer your question in brief, that is why I “consider” myself a Christian…

Anonymous asked: everyone thinks you're such a creep lol i don't though i just think you're nice :)

Oh, I know everyone thinks I’m a creep.  haha!  I’ve known that since 6th grade.  That’s how it’s always been for me (except in my freshman year when everyone thought I was cool. haha)  The reason that everyone thinks I’m a creeper is because I care on a deeper level than most people are used to, and that often makes a lot of people feel uncomfortable or offended, especially when the people who are thinking I’m a creeper don’t know me well, which is the vast majority of those who would call me a creeper.  This is how it’s been for me my whole life, and I accepted it a long time ago.  It’s who I am. :)  I genuinely care about people on a very deep level, and if people want to pervert that part of my character than they will, it is not, however, my problem. :)  Thank you for thinking of me as nice… I honestly do try… :3  But why anon???  Come on off of that, and let’s talk like real people. :)

Anonymous asked: whats your favorite thing about katrina?

Oh, man… I probably couldn’t even narrow it down… but I love her smile, her eyes, her accent (that I think is hilariously adorable…) and I love love LOVE how kind and considerate she is… :)

I also really like her lips, if you must know ;P

Anonymous asked: just watched your national anthem video, you actually have a really nice voice :)

Thank you very much! :)  I didn’t like that performance at all, actually… I got nervous at the last second and my voice was shaking horribly!  But it came out ok… I just wish I could have sung it like I did while practicing. :P  Thank you so much, though! :)  But why anon??? :)

Anonymous asked: You talk about sex all the time and how you have done it. You have a pornographic blog and what not.

Ah… Now I understand. Well, there are a few things I need to clear up. 1. I have never talked about how I have had sex, mainly because I have never had sex. I am a virgin, and a virgin by choice, furthermore. :). Now, that being said, I do talk about sex rather a lot, because I am a young man with an extremely potent sex drive, and because I consider it to be an extremely interesting topic of conversation. :). About my pornographic blog, I’d hardly call it that, but it was a mistake, nonetheless and I deleted it a month ago. :). But how does this contradict with my Christian views? And also, there is no reason for you to be on anon. Why don’t you come on off and we can talk as equals? :)

Anonymous asked: So you say you are a Christian but the way you live your life and the things you say don't match up. Why is that?

Please explain? Give me an example, and I’d be happy to answer your question once I understand further what you’re talking about. :)

Anonymous asked: If you've had the opportunity to meet Mr. Evers, what's your opinion about him?

I’ve never actually met him, or taken any of his classes, and I feel like he would be a cool guy know you got to know him but in the encounters that I’ve had with him he’a been kind of rude to me. Haha!
