About Me

Dumbarton Oaks in Washington, D.C. was a Federal style estate established by members of the Bliss family whom I never personally knew (Robert Woods Bliss, born in St. Louis, 1875). The estate, including the house, gardens, and an extensive collection of art were donated to Harvard University, and are now open for tours. Enjoy!"As you sow, so shall you reap..."

HELLO MY DEAR ONE...YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE (GROOM, GROOM)! I'VE PLACED THE FOLLOWING VIDEO ON MY PAGE EXPRESSLY FOR YOUR PLEASURE. I'M SURE THAT ALONG WITH OUR CLOSEST FRIENDS, YOU'LL UNDERSTAND WHY. WELL, ON THAT NOTE, OFF I GO. (SLAM).LET US NEVER FORGET THAT IN ONE MANNER OR ANOTHER, WE ARE ALL WHORES, DESPITE OUR CONSCIENCE, REMORSE, OR DELUSIONS OF MORALITY...AT TIMES WE MAY LACK THE GLAMOUR OF HOLLYWOOD, OR THE SUBTLE NUANCE OF THE PRACTICED COURTESAN. YET IN SEEKING TO GAIN THE OBJECTS OF OUR DESIRE, WE LACK NONE OF THE DETERMINATION OF THE MOST HEARTLESS WHORES EVER TO WALK THE MIDNIGHT STREETS OF THE GREAT CITIES OF THE EARTH...AND OF THIS, WE SHOULD FEEL ONLY A SENSE OF PRIDE, FOR THIS LAND BELONGS NOT TO MEN AND WOMEN OF HONOR, BUT TO THOSE WILLINGS TO SURVIVE - AND THRIVE - AT ANY COST...A MESSAGE TO MY FRIENDS, FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND FOR EVERY DAY:In this life, I have truly been blessed with many special friends...persons who have entered my life through the decades in so many different and often unexpected ways. Some were friends from the beginning, others were lovers who became true friends, and still others crossed paths with me as we worked together toward common goals. A few were simply people whom I met in the far flung cities of the world, who turned out to be so much more than just strangers in the night, lost in the darkness and seeking solace for an hour or two...However it is that we've met, I hope that my true friends know how much they will always mean to me. In a world gone mad, there isn't always an opportunity to simply turn to someone and say "I love you" even when we wish that such an opportunity would be forthcoming. No, sadly, that simply isn't the reality in which most of us live. Yet let there be no doubt, each of you has brought to my life the only worth which my existence has ever known, for I am nothing at all without those whom I love, and those who have loved me.For those still among my circle, those who grace my "Court", my table, and my parlor, I hope to walk among you for as long as you shall linger in this mortal coil. For those who have already, as a great leader once said, slipped the surly bonds of Earth, I truly hope that we shall meet again...For all of you, near and far, I offer my warmest regards, my best wishes for your happiness through time and all eternity, and always, always, my undying love...--- Michael Rankins

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO ACCEPT YOUR FRIEND REQUEST, IF IT IS LEGITIMATE, AND IF YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE. HOWEVER, IF I DO NOT ALREADY KNOW YOU, PLEASE SEND ME A MESSAGE FIRST TO LET ME KNOW WHO YOU ARE. LIKE MOST MYSPACE USERS, I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING TOO MANY REQUESTS FROM SPAMMERS.If you'd like to know something about me, just ask. I don't bite...much. What am I looking for? New friends or contacts. I'm a people person, so the more, the merrier. I really get into open-minded, at least moderately sane men who look like lumberjacks or quarterbacks, but I don't judge a book by it's cover unless I'm taking it to bed to enjoy.Ugh! Such nasty rows! It rather reminds me of a few recent moments in my own life. Truly, in general there is no house large enough for a diva and one or more other women! Believe me, I know from first-hand experience. Be warned...
