Introductions

My first blog post...wow. I've toyed with the idea of blogging before, but I never actually took up the idea. This blog was pretty much created on a whim, and it still remains to be seen how often I'll update it. But hopefully it will be a place for some fruitful thoughts and discussion. If you're reading this, it's probably because you know me and I forced you read it. But on the rare occasion that I receive a visitor from that wondrous place referred to as the Internet, I figure you might as well know a little bit about me so you'll know where I'm coming from. So without getting into too much detail, here is a brief rundown of where I'm coming from intellectually:

Gender: Male
Age: College Student. Exact age is none of your business.
Majors: Physics and Religious Studies (Yes, it's an odd combination. Believe me, I know.)
Religion: Christian, specifically Episcopalian. I love studying/talking about religion, and my beliefs, while orthodox, are pretty eclectic.
Political Views: Paleolibertarian. For those of you who aren't politics nerds and are too lazy to wikipedia the term, it means that I'm a libertarian who is somewhat more open to government intervention in societal affairs (like abortion, stem cell research, euthanasia, etc.)
Favorite literature: I mostly read nonfiction, but I love pretty much anything. I have a special place in my heart for Victorian authors and Shakespeare.
Music: Anything and everything except rap and hip hop. I care more about a band's sound (particularly the lead singer's) than genre.

Anything else you want to know, ask. That's all I can think of for now, and it's getting late. Until next time...
