The Male Representative Debriefs

Edmund Truechild Pfleegor

While I am new to this whole blog thing, I think the best place to start is with some Author Bio's.

Someday we'll be savvy enough to have a permanent link to our ultra-slick, artist designed Bio page, but for now we start small.

We don't have the kind of friends who would actually keep up with our blog activities, so perhaps better people will be interested in our romps across the world and our civil, Christian conversations. (ooh, alliteration) It would amuse me if our blog went big and we made someone famous but the point of this internet community (of two people at the moment) started as a joke, yet has become a very practical way for Kathryn and I to keep in touch while living thousands of miles apart.

I have a lot of time to day-dream at work so I have this really awesome imaginary blog in my head where there is a public and a private message board. Regular musical highlights. Intriguing and requested album premier reviews. And very interesting photo blogs about of our adventures. Oh, and a better place to post my writing. Yet for now I just have to settle for interesting content and networking until I can figure out this modern madness.

So I suppose I should finally get to talking about myself.

Edmund Truechild Pfleegor (for real this time)

My middle name comes from the King James Version of Paul's description of Timothy as a "true child." Other versions usually dubbing Timothy "genuine child."

(Had I been born a girl, I would have been named Elizabeth the Faithful Pfleegor. My parents have given me a love of interesting names.)

Despite the popularity drop our blog may suffer, I am wholly dedicated to Christ and as such, a hypocrite at times. My love of music is not always edifying to God, however blasphemy in my music will not be tolerated. I would steer clear of disgusting themes, so if I ever post something gross by accident please inform me. It was probably an accident. Anyway, I have an undying passion for the understanding of God's Word in a spiritual manner. I used to pursue the understanding of the Scripture for the sake of understanding and education, yet now I realize that to understand text written by the spiritual revelation of God I must discern it with my spirit.

That's just a taste of my mission statement. If I had a mission statement that is... And I'm sure I could write whole posts and start many conversations over it, so I'll savor it.

I do love writing and always have. I hope I could post some of my writing here and get some constructive criticism. I have also recently delved in Performance Poetry but I don't believe I will be doing much more of that...

So as this is turning out to be my life in bullet form, I'll move on to my attitude toward the near-future. I haven't been wholly satisfied with living on Maui since I was in middle school, but am ecstatic and beside myself to be moving to Vermont this summer.

Ridiculously beautiful. Can't wait.

(I plan on making photos a huge part of the blog in the future. I suspect most of the entries will be annotated photographs.)

I am also dedicated to healthy living and am going to be living in a health-oriented community whilst in college. People say I'm ridiculous, but I lost sixty pounds so I'm happy...
...
...
Truth be told I gained the "Freshman Fifteen" before even leaving so it's more like I lost 45 pounds... But hey... I had at one point lost sixty pounds.

Other than that I guess I should mention that I am emotionally shy and standoff-ish at times. However, if I have an opinion and stating it doesn't put my emotions on the display I will state it. However, I hope to cure my hatred of hugs soon.

Whew, this blog thing is going to get the better of me... I know it...
