About Me

Describe yourself in 250 words or less...go!!! What can I put down in this tiny little box that would most accurately describe me. I guess I would start by saying that I like to think of myself as a nice guy, although I think most people like to view themselves in a positive light, which makes any opinion of myself biased and therefore not worth paying attention to. Still I have been told that I am nice. I am a bit high strung at times, my friends would say that is an understatement. I enjoy the company of others, good conversation, reading a nice book or seeing a nice film. I am interested in the arts, not so much politics, although I am not completely oblivious to the world around me. I work in finance as a contractor to the National Security Agency, which makes me a complete sell-out to the system...I know...but then again I have gay tastes and have to pull in the money to maintain them. I love eating out, cups of coffee, the summer and fall, and sitting in parks. I love dogs, am afraid of small enclosed spaces, and like to drink vodka and tonics on the beach. I really probably could ramble on about myself for hours, but you probably have already stopped reading this, and I am boring myself with the details of my life. If you would like to get to know me send me a message. I am always up for meeting new people. I will not accept random friend requests though, so please just write me something. Getting to know someone involves more than an electronic I want to be your friend request. I don't consider anyone a friend if I don't know their name. So be daring, say hello!!!

My Interests

Didn't we already cover this above?

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet myself in 20 years, so future me could warn me of all the bad shit that will happen to me in the next 20 years, and I can work hard to avoid said events. Also the future me could give me good stock advice, and maybe throw me a bone and give me a few lotto numbers to ease things along. Oh yea, and friends etc are nice as well.

Music:

Oh man, my tastes in music are probably so out there that people don't want to know. I like a bit of everything. If I'm in a calm mood I like instrumental music, if I'm going out dancing I like a nice 80s synthesized track. I like mellow vocalists like Damian Rice, and I have tender spot in my heart for 1960s Motown, and R&B. And yes...sadly I do like the popish dance song every now and then.

Movies:

I can't fill this section in because I get emotional thinking about how I had to sell most of my DVD collection after my car accident last winter. Let's just say I like a mix of everything here as well. Who doesn't like a good indie flick...although my true passion is horror. I mean what more can you ask for than a bunch of big breasted girls getting naked and then hacked to death by a meat cleaver? Nothing!!!!

Television:

Food network all the way. I'm also in love with Grey's Anatomy...I know I swore I would never become a network drama junkie, but sadly I have.

Books:

Too many to list. If you come to my place ever you can check out my bookshelf.

Heroes:

My older sister, for never being afraid of herself. For breaking down barriers, living life the way she wants to, and always being strong. Love ya Laur.

Saturday morning and everyone is still asleep.

And I feel like my life is slipping away so quickly. You enter the world of work, and suddenly life becomes a series of landslide weeks with only the gradual pause of the weekend in which to let loose...

It's Friday, and I'm so tired I could die

That's very true. I feel like I could just fall asleep at my desk right now and never wake up. Blah. I got NO sleep last night. Not to say the reason was a bad one. Not at all, but I'll get into that ...

W.B Yates

This poem was used by Joan Didion in her collection of articles about California in the 60s. I think the poem has a lot of relevance to today's world as well, and so I share it with you here. Slouchi...
