About Me

MySpace Layouts
MySpace Graphics
MySpace Generators .. What can I say? I came to San Francisco in 1981 for a 2 week vacation, and forgot to leave. Despite all the loss & heartbreak experienced these past 26 years, I have been having a fucking blast living in this beautiful city. I am an inveterate restaurant whore, having traveled all over California, trying all types of foods, with a fondness for discovering new places to dine. I love to cook, but much prefer to be served...I'm a happily partnered gay man (20 years) looking for friends with eclectic, eccentric and/or diverse tastes in all things; music, film, events, you name it. I am a worldly, open minded independent voter who is quite perturbed at what lengths our Village Idiot has taken this great country.Jesus Fucking Christ; what a nightmare. What does this Asshole need to DO to finally get the impeachment he deserves?I'm a dog lover, and with her in tow, we walk through Golden Gate park daily. THIS IS OUR DOG, ROSIE. ROSIE HATES CAMERAS, OR ANYTHING THAT FLASHES OR REACTS ELECTRONICALLY. SHE WILL JUST UP AND LEAVE THE ROOM, WHICH IS WHY I AM HOLDING HER COLLAR. THIS IS A DOG THAT NEVER BARKS. SHE PREFERS TO JUST SIT BACK AND LOOK STRANGELY AT YOU.
You Are 87% Non Conformist
You're incredibly strange. And a weirdness like yours takes skill to cultivate!
No one really understands you. And you're cool with that. You just hope you never have to understand them! Are You a Nonconformist?

My Interests

Varied: Music, current events, Atheism, literature, going on long walks thru San Francisco, always exploring new neighborhoods, garage sales, travel, being a very 'visual' person, posting on MYSPACE is a natural for me, hanging out with my partner and our dog, Rosie, is quite fun, actually, of course, FOOD, GLORIOUS FOOD.

I'd like to meet:
