Dynamic Entry

Hello Interwebs!!

The name is Kevin Tran, and this is my first blog! I've been thinking about starting one for a long time, and for some reason I just never started. But, here I am with my intro to the first!

I'm sorry if this is really unorganized! As my intro, I'm thinking this is going to be more of a stream of conciousness post, but I promise future posts will be more organized!

Who I am

So, as I said, my name is Kevin, and I'm a 19-year-old student at Wake Forest University. In case you missed my bio on the front page:

That's me.

I play the trumpet for the marching band at Wake, so yes, undoubtedly, I am perfect (see picture above).
I'm also Asian (Vietnamese to be exact) and one of those "first generation" folk whose parents jumped on the boat to come to good ol' USofA from God knows where.

What I'm Blogging About

Speaking about God, I'm a Christian--Roman Catholic to be exact. And that's what I want to blog about: God. No no, I'm not one of those "Do you have a moment to speak about our Lord and Saviour" kind of guys...thank God....

But I do want to start a conversation--one that I feel like not very many people are having. We're taught from a young age that there are two topics that we should always avoid if we want to save a relationship: Politics and religion. And I really hate that because these two topics are my favorite things to talk about ever!! They really help me get to know a person and how they actually think; they help me figure out just how smart--or really, intellectual--a person is. 

I mean, I like talking about the latest Marvel movies (can't wait for the Infinity Wars arc!!) and football (gotta pull for those Panthers) and those other fun things just as much as the next guy, but I always love a good ol' fashioned conversation on something controversial.

So my goal is this: To educate those who have no idea why Christians believe what they believe in a way that is both philosophical and simple, but also to throw the viewpoints I have (which I think are some that tend to be overlooked) in some political issues, and to have intellectual conversations in both of these areas. 

I would love it if you guys would comment on my more serious posts and get the conversations flowing! It should be at the bottom....somewhere down there.

Also feel free to comment on this one to ask me to talk about some kind of topic. I'm open to anything from "Why Catholics do weird things" to "What do you think about the new Battlefront 3" and "What do you think about Kim Davis" to "Why don't you like Scarowinds". I'd love to talk about anything you all want to talk about!

"Faith, Reason, and Everything Else" is my spelled out form of the acronym FREE. So be FREE thinkers, everybody! 

Until next time, Interwebbers!!!!
