Hello philosophy forum!

I am currently enrolled in a public high school in Houston, Texas, starting my senior year at the end of the summer. As is the case with me most summers, I have little to do and much time to read and think. The result of this time-killing is a desperate search for some answers. Too confused to discern my own thoughts, I decided to look for a forum or something to help me figure out finally, once and for all what I believe. In short, I am joining this forum because I'm tired of my only belief being that "I have no belief." So my purpose for joining this site is deadly serious, actually.

On a lighter note, besides philosophy, I enjoy history and current affairs. My interest in events overseas surpasses even my interest in Truth and philosophy at times, notably. I enjoy classical music, especially Vivaldi and Rossini, but I also listen to upbeat modern songs, like disco and rap. I play the clarinet and always enjoy its beautiful timbre, and of course, like many guys my age, spend most of my hours playing games, video games, on the PC and Xbox, and also sports like Ultimate Frisbee, swimming, and others. Perhaps even more generic of me, I like to spend time with my friends who all know me as the unnecessarily deep thinker. Occasionally I engender meaningful philosophical discussion with them, but it is always fleeting. And, in continuation of this trend from somewhat interesting to evermore predictable traits, I have more than a passing interest in the opposite sex, one of whom occupies a lot of time in my already exhausted mental framework. With all this, just imagine what will happen with the onset of the schoolyear!
