About Me

this guy...passionate, impulsive, fun-loving free spirit with a penchant for the arts, genuine people with no hidden agenda, animals, beer, and random moments of pure inspiration. I'm a son, a brother, a grandson, a roommate, a friend, a pal and a confidant. (I hope you caught that one). I know lots of incredibly random facts and references from American popular culture, particularly in the vein of music and television...as noted by the aforementioned Golden Girls reference. My voice doesn't really match the rest of me (bass-baritone), but somehow it works. I have a bachelors degree, and someday I'll go back and get my masters. I believe in God, and I don't need some book or some guy in a robe to affirm, deny or rectify that relationship. I'm gay but I don't wear any rainbow buttons or patches, as I'm a human being, first and foremost. I've got a lot to be thankful for in my life thus far, and I look forward to what lies on the road ahead. Oh, and I like Pez...gotta make sure I mention that. Oh, and vintage clothing...and trees. Dig it.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4

My Blog

apparently i can't post this without something in the subject bar

I've spent the last several hours at home doing the following: sewing a button back on to the front of my black, Navy-issued peacoat, eating the remains of my Tostitos chips and salsa con queso, and w...

I'm A Little Slow Sometimes

Yeah, so it wasn't until about 2 minutes ago that I finally understood how clever the name "Cogsworth" from Beauty and the Beast is. Cogs are those things in clocks...and he's a clock. Nice.

Feeling Strangely Fine

I realize now that my first blog post was not, in any way, an adequate represtation of my time in New York. Granted, what I wrote was truly what I was feeling at the time, however, in the simplest sen...

all in my head

Today I came to the realization that I have virtually no idea what the hell I'm doing out here. When asked what I would do after I'd completed my BFA, I would usually respond to inquisitors with, "I'm...
