About Me |
|
| I was born and grew up in California but moved to Corpus Christi, Texas when I was thirteen. I was a disreputable cretan through highschool but managed to graduate with a respectable degree in philosophy and religion from Hillsdale College. After graduation I married my highschool sweetheart, Lisa (a.k.a. "Long Shanks"), moved to Austin (please keep it weird), taught at Regents Classical School (snobby rich kid school) for 4 years, and had my first loin-fruit, Christian (a.k.a "The Nug"). Then I moved to Maryland and taught at Rockbridge Classical School while I studied the Great Books at St. John's College in Annapolis. During this time a second fruit, Levi (a.k.a. "The Nizzle"), was sprung from my loins. I graduated from St. John's with a Master of Arts in Liberal Arts and moved back to Corpus Christi where a third blessing, Cora (a.k.a. "The Bell"), was begotten. I am currently the secondary headmaster at Annapolis Christian Academy. | |

I'd like to meet:My Maker |
|
Music:All the great composers and their works (Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Vivaldi, Wagner, Handel, etc.); Hymns; Celtic/Irish folk music; rock/alternative; metal; bluegrass (not country!); I pretty much hate rap (with some minor exceptions like the Beastie Boys) and R&B. |
|
Movies:I hate mindless blockbusters, chick flicks, and macho man movies for guys who like movies. I tend toward indie flicks with lots of dialogue or intelligent period pieces. I also like cheap horror flicks and slapstick comedies. |
|
Television:Kill your tv. |
|
Books:I pretty much only read the Great Books (yah I know that sounds snobby). I hate mindless drivel. I like literary art -- Homer, Beowulf, Dante, Chaucer, Eliot, Dickens, Dostoesvky etc.; and I like philosophy -- mainly Plato and Nietzche (the only good philosophers who are also good writers); I like theology -- The Bible, Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, Edwards. |
|
Heroes:Jesus, Augustine, C.S. Lewis, Alexandr Solzhenitsyn, Lincoln, Paul, Francis of Assisi, Plato, Socrates, Homer, David, G.K. Chesterton, my father, my grandfather. |

Lisa's Birthday Sonnet |
|
| When on that afternoon so long ago,
I first saw you in blushing youth arrayed
White dress and gloves, hair tied up in a bow
My heart caught fire; my decision was made.
I vowed right then with you ... Posted by peter on Wed, 22 Nov 2006 09:10:00 PST |
