My Life's Philosophy in a Nutshell:
"From the cowardice that shrinks from new truth,
From the laziness that is content with half-truths,
From the arrogance that thinks it knows all truth,
Oh, God of truth, save us!"
- President Hugh B. Brown
"Doubt which immediately leads to honest inquiry, and thereby removes itself, is wholesome. But that doubt which feeds and grows upon itself, and, with stubborn indolence, breeds more doubt, is evil."
- Elder John A. Widtsoe
"Those who govern their thoughts and actions solely by the principles of liberalism or conservatism or intellectualism cannot be expected to agree with all of the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. As for me, I find some wisdom in liberalism, some wisdom in conservatism, and much truth in intellectualism - but I find no salvation in any of them."
- Elder Dallin H. Oaks
"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society." - Jiddu Krishnamurti

I'm an author who hasn't published anything yet but has lots of writing to share with the world anyway, whether the world likes it or not. Welcome to my little corner of the Internet where I'm free to blather on about my beliefs and opinions in the hope that someone will like me enough to buy my books when I start publishing them. My web address is a matter of practicality, not pride. It saves the bother of trying to come up with something good and catchy, and the chances of someone else wanting to use it are slim. I have met a Christopher Robert Nicholson, though. He was a black Latter-day Saint missionary from Georgia, so I don't think we're related.
On that note the first thing you should know about me (in case you haven't guessed yet) is that I'm blessed and proud to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (incorrectly called the LDS Church or "Mormonism"). Yes, I'm still religious in the twenty-first century and I make no apologies for it. Browse my site and decide for yourself how stupid and/or brainwashed I am. You can read my testimony here (English) o aquí (Español) ou ici (Francais) o qui (Italiana) oder hier (Deutsch). I'm going to bring that up with some frequency so if you can't stand it then I guess you should probably leave, though I hope you won't, because you're welcome here regardless of your religion, non-religion, or willingness to convert. If you want to know anything else about me (and why wouldn't you? I'm fascinating), here you go.
I try to avoid unnecessary political correctness without going to the other extreme and just being a jerk. I usually fail at it, but I try, and that's all we can ask of ourselves sometimes. You have no constitutional right not to be offended, though, so if you are and whine at me about it I'll probably just laugh at you. Honestly, if you get all bent out of shape over something that someone on the Internet said then you probably need to get a life. As Brigham Young said, "He who takes offense when offense was not intended is a fool, yet he who takes offense when offense is intended is an even greater fool for he has succumbed to the will of his adversary."
There's a menu bar at the top (computer) or left (mobile) of the screen, but I'm also putting it here for your convenience because I'm so nice.
