Punk rock. Going to EXTREMES. Tattoos. Constituionalism. Grabbing the American Dream by its hips and brutally fucking it while it cries. Observing others. A good glass (or three) of Shiraz, or any dark, intense red wine. Listening to any of Brownie's stories. Curling up on the couch with a good book. SHORT TRIPS TO VEGAS! Being with my friends. Gay bars! Staying out until 7am. Sex. Erotica... especially early Tom of Finland art prints (YOWW!) Occult studies and esoterica. Getting lost. Laughing so hard that tears come out of my eyes and no sound escapes me. EXPLORING! Subcultures. Being an asshole. Making people laugh. Altered Consciousness. Expressing myself through everything I can. Being sexy but strong. Sewing. Darkness. Light. Making it count. Never half-assing anything. Cigars. Standing out. Wearing my heart on my sleeve. Letting music take me over. Getting inspired by weirdos and bizarre things. Being an extremist. Cooking. Obsessing. LIVING!
No thanks, I'm good.Seriously, I don't want to meet anyone. I really do know the people on my friends list, so I don't add folks I don't know. I REPEAT: I WILL NOT ADD YOU IF I DON'T ALREADY KNOW YOU.
(Unless, of course, you want to buy me a "Fuck Your Mother, Punk" Seditionaries t-shirt... I have been looking EVERYWHERE for one. Ever seen it? Yeah, it's that good.)
Sorry, I'm stubborn and it's my way. I love my friends, more than I love myself sometimes... I am pretty goddamn lucky. Life is WAY, WAY too short to waste on shitty people, "friends" who are only there when it's convenient for them, small-minded clones, and emotional vampires. Choose your close ones wisely.

I am not one of these people who claims they hate TV. I loves me some idiot box; namely, shows such as: Curb Your Enthusiasm, the L Word, the Simpsons, Family Guy, Metalocalypse, Good Times, I Love Lucy, South Park, Wonder Showzen, Mythbusters, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, Chappelle's Show, Six Feet Under, Seinfeld, Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, the State (RIP), anything on the National Geographic channel, Masters of Horror, Little Britain, and Tales from the Darkside.

Lovecraft, Robert Young Pelton, Jim Goad, Stephen King, Alice Walker, Lon Milo DuQuette, Carlos Castaneda, James Ellroy, Anne and Christopher Rice, Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval, Adam Parfrey, Paulo Coelho, and Kurt Vonnegut. I am almost always reading something... some subjects of interest are (but not limited to) Grand Mysteries of Life!, death, sex, Esoterica, Mysticism, Libertarian politics, self-help, crime noir, serial murder, sewing, and cooking. Anything excessively violent but lusciously written will have me smitten. I also branch out and real all kinds of other stuff.... next on my list: Pulp Friction : Uncovering the Golden Age of Gay Male Pulps by Michael Bronski
FIRST AND FOREMOST: My amazing mom, dad, and brother. I don't know what I'd do without them.
