My name is Brandon Pane, I am a Criminal Justice major and it is my second year at Shippensburg. I chose to take this class mostly because It is required for my major. That is not the only reason though I do enjoy reading, (in small doses and select literature) it is far from an everyday occurrence. Usually when I read it is most likely fiction and has been highly recommended by someone with similar taste. Other than fiction and occasionally the funnies in the paper, I like to read books that involve unique views on religious subjects. I come from a pretty small area, so Shippensburg is actually basically a city in my eyes which I’m sure many of you will find ridiculous especially because seeing a horse and buggy is an everyday occurrence here. The town I am originally from is Athens, and don’t say “Athens Greece!?!” I have gotten that reaction far too many times. It’s a small town in upstate PA where everyone knows everyone. I am an optimistic person, and try to see the best in even the worst situations. You will almost never catch me in a bad mood, even some of my closest friends have never seen me truly angry about something. The music I primarily listen to is hip-hop, not Lil’ Wayne or Drake, I’m into the more underground style such as Blu, Jay-Electronica, Talib Kweli, Ghostface Killah. I have recently started rock climbing and I am planning on getting involved in hang-gliding next summer. I love doing things outside and being active.
I also read the funnies in the newspaper, and I come from a really small area too. When I came here as a freshman it was almost overwhelming because I wasn't used to the "city" lol
ReplyDeleteI'm curious which books you've read with "unique views on religious subjects." Have you read, "The Shack"? or do you mean something more like, "The Davinci Code" for example? Nice to have you in the class Brandon.
ReplyDeleteWow, Athens is REALLY far from here (yeah, I did just Google Maps it)! What made you come to Ship? That's exciting that you go rock climbing! I have a few friends that go, and have always wanted to try it out since it sounds like so much fun. (:
ReplyDeleteI have read "Conversations With God," basically the author is having a "conversation" with god. He asks questions about the world, his life, and the afterlife. It provides many unique ways of thinking. Also a few books that talk about monks who live high in the mountains in seclusion and who can do unbelievable things.
ReplyDeleteI love small towns! I live near Ship, but not to close! It's in the middle of nowhere, and it's nice!So what made you start rock climbing?
ReplyDeleteWell you are very active!! I have tried rock climbing, it's so much fun!! have you tried free falling from the sky?? And I don't blame you, I'm not a big fan of Drake or Lil Wayne either
