About Me

Whats to know? I stay busy...love to meet new and different folks. I'm adventurous and fun with a thoughtful and very emphasized spiritual side (now doesn't that sound like a damn personal!) I'm into Volunteerism (working with at risk teens and doing substance abuse counseling), politics, literature, theater...sports! What else? writing - I ain't near as good as I'm gonna be...but I'm trying!!! I like people-watching and commenting on hair, clothes, style...all that good nasty-mean stuff! and I really get off on meeting people with different perspectives, attitudes and ideas than my own. and try as I may, I can find no way to make this sound even vaguely interesting!
DAYUM!


My Interests

"Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death"
ANAIS NIN

I'd like to meet:

I Love to interact with people from different backgrounds, cultures, etc. I'm REAL inquisitive about people so if you have an educated opinion...if you have the ability to inspire, to teach, to entertain or motivate - I'm eager to meet ya! Most of all, just be about something! Additionally: Nelson Mandela, Harry Belafonte, Bono, Maya Angelou, Sidney Portier, Angelina Jolie

Music:


Gosh! U name it! I like R&B (especially old school), Soul and neo-soul, Hip-Hop, Jazz, classical/symphony/chamber, grew up on good ole Rock 'N Roll - you know your old when the music you listened to is suddenly considered "Classic Rock!"GEEZ!

Movies:

I like to mix it up: Romantic Comedies, Drama, Thrillers, Indy-flicks, foreign films...I like a little of every genre. Just call me a "Renaissance Man
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyound measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others. ."
Nelson Mandela, 1994 Inaugural Speech, as written by but often uncredited to poet Marianne Williamson

Whew!

Who'da thunk it?I swear on my grave that the last thing I was looking for was an actual relationship.  In fact, I may even have been avoiding one at all costs.  But since April 18th, the str...

Where do we go from here

What is there to say?I wish I had the wisdom of the ages and could somehow verbalize a truth that would make yesterday's horrific events  in Virginia sensible.  However, it is impossible to ...
