Insert Clever Lable Here

[Redhawk]

Well..

I enjoy being thought of as .. whatever you've tagged me as, but I'm feeling the peer pressure, so I'll offer up at least a glimpse.

My real name is Josh, born the same year as Aeonblues. Yeah, freaky.  I'm a happily married 34 year old father of two kids (5 and 2 -- it's my son the two year old who falls asleep laying on top of me every night as I'm dancing across Layo).  I've been playing D&D since the days of piles of funny colored dice.  In college, I switched from D&D to Vampires the Masquerade. I ran a campaign that spanned the better part of my junior and senior years and some of the post graduate years. College was also my introduction to text based MUD's and MMPORGS, an obsession that lead me to Layo.  For several years, I played the text based predecessor to WoW -- Gemstone.  I am the obsessed type who would pay $1000 for a computer to play a text based MUD.

I majored in English and write really bad short stories and poetry.  Besides Layo, you can find me with my family in the woods hiking and camping or on a bicycle -- I completed my first century (100 mile in one day ride) the year my daughter was born and I'm a dedicated cycle commuter.  You have to be a bit insane to ride your bike to work in New England.  I work currently as a telephone company line retention specialist, but I'm working my way towards becoming  a full time Unitarian Universalist minister.  

So there's a glimpse and don't ask for pictures. Every time a camera points in my direction, it shatters into a thousand pieces.

Okay This may once again seem stupid but: What's a Unitarian Universalist? You don't have to answer here or at all if you don't feel comfortable with it. I don't want these things turning into a religion discussion but I'm interested.

She's asks the Minister if he'd mind explaining? *chuckles*
Well, the short answer is the Unitarian Universalism is a socially active spiritual community that says there is no wrong way to deal with matters of life's mystery.  We are a gathering of Jews, Christians, Pagans, Hindus, Buddhists, Humanists and many others who believe in the dignity of all ways to pray or not to pray. We are a principled, liberal, spiritual community. For more info and to clarify you can go to UUA.org.  And feel free to PM me, I LOVE discussing religion.

The Unitarians came to my house and burned a question mark on front lawn.

*Laughs.* Amusing, Aeon.

In a simpler, trekkie explanation of what the UUs are, allow me to say this.

"We are the Universal Unitarians. Lower your preconceptions and surrender your devotions. Your spiritual and magickal distinctiveness will be added to our own. Your culture will adapt to serve us. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile."

And yes, that was just in jest; I do have to say that the UUs have always interested me. They're worth looking into for anyone who's uncertain about their spirituality.
