About Me

I've had many great teachers one of which was my own mother. She taught me to love unconditionally, accept others for who they were and respect rather then judge. Golden rule kind of stuff. Being a gay man I've had to walk some hot coals to reach a place where I could express all the facets of myself without joining a country and western band. An interior designer by trade, I'm a father, author, artist, and good man seeking others that share in the bohemian parts of life mixed with a blend of creative symetry that allows for real things to spring forth from them.As Walt Disney once said..."If you can dream it---you can do it".Who we are is our own masterpiece. The journey can enlighten us to notice the masterpiece of others.JCS

My Interests

Home Improvement, Writing, Photography, Theatre, Entertaining and the Future.

I'd like to meet:

I always enjoy meeting kind people.

Music:

.. I'm a fan of just about every type of music, but have to take my hat off to some of the female vocalists of our time like Madonna,Annie Lennox, Shania Twain, Sheryl Crow, K.D. Lang and many more. I appreciate male artists like Sting, Harry Connick Jr., Michael Buble, Michael Feinstein and groups like Yaz, Erasure, The Pet Shop Boys and dozens of others. Being 38, I'm a huge fan of 80's music...makes me feel young again.

Movies:

It's a Wonderful Life, Forrest Gump, Field of Dreams, An Affair To Remember, North By Northwest, Steel Magnolias, The Color Purple.There are many others and I'm sure even more on the way.

Television:

I'll be writing for TV soon, but in the meantime a lover of oldies like Mary Tyler Moore, Carol Burnett, Murphy Brown, and The Brady Bunch. Gotta love some "Will and Grace" and Friends too but for those of you that say I look like Sean Hayes......I'm one year older...he looks like ME.

Books:

Just about any autobiography.

Heroes:

My Family.
