About Me

I'm obsessed with politics, current events, and "deep" discussions. I can ramble on for hours about religion, the war in Iraq, different political issues, and any other interesting topic you bring up. I like to create videos for my website www.peacetakescourage.com and I'm currently working on my first documentary. I also like to watch movies, especially if they have good cinematography. I'm a peace activist and raging liberal working for peace and justice. In December of 2007 I launched this website, AvasArmy.com, to try to help involved and aware young people connect.

Favorite Books

Fahrenheit 451, 1984, Anthem, The Stranger, Lord of the Flies, The Giver, Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E.

Favorite Quotes

"America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter, and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves." -- Abraham Lincoln

"The soldier above all others prays for peace, for it is the soldier who must suffer and bear the deepest wounds and scars of war." -- Douglas MacArthur

"It is time for all people of conscience to call upon America, come back home, come home America. Omar Khayyam is right: 'The moving finger writes, and having writ moves on.' I call on Washington today, I call on every man and woman of good will all over America today, I call on the young men of America who must make a choice today. Take a stand on this issue, tomorrow may be too late. The book may close." -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
