Bio
If you pay attention and keep a lively mind, I just might brush past you on the street or in the woods someday...

I am a disciple of Jesus and hold to an eclectic blend of missional restorationism, neocharismatic mysticism, Christian anarchism, liberation theology, moderate Calvinism and Oneness doctrine drawing from the rich revelation of early Discipleship and the later Mystics and passed down to the Radical Reformation and from there to the Jesus Movement and now spread through many emerging churches. My view of the universe is Holographic. My view of history is of the conspiracist school. Politically, I am an anarchist, realizing that all political systems are historically built from, whether implicit or explicit, a desire to dominate and exploit.

My aesthetic, although extremely difficult to convey except in person, is what I would refer to as "grunge hippie".

I am fascinated by Jesus, history, fringe science and other people, especially those of the opposite sex. I enjoy hiking, skateboarding through traffic, worshiping God, resisting tyranny, drinking good liquor, challenging tradition, breaking stereotypes (especially concerning "supposed" masculinity and christianity), reading, lucid dreaming, rocking out, hugging, sleeping in piles, growing "stuff", philosophizing for real life, and listening to the sitar (among other things).
