Jeremiah

I'm a lover and a fighter.

About Me

I am a happy guy. I am gregarious and shy, charitable and broke, old-fashioned and cutting edge. I love art and entertainment, both high and low culture. I left work in the film business after seeing my friends and co-worker's cinephilic tendencies sucked dry by the soulless vaccuum that is commercial filmmaking. I resist by maintaining a steady diet of documentaries, fringe films, and plenty of escapist popcorn genre flicks. I also love to read-especially while trying to pass the time on the elliptical machine on the gym.I like inviting friends over for dinner and games, and usually browse epicurious.com for new recipes to try my hand at.I believe in the power of change- five years ago I was a staunch Republican who voted for George Bush (my apologies)- coming out of the closet, losing my religion (but not my sense of worth or spirituality), and seeing how my friends were treated by conservatives in power has ignited my activist tendencies and now I volunteer for HRC and Equality Utah, and work in HIV Prevention for the Utah AIDS Foundation. I have a great life and enjoy sharing it with my guy Derek. He rules.

My Interests

My delicious Apple 'puter, books, muzak, movies, camping (I actually go though, unlike so many people I know who say they like to but never go), snowboarding (ok, not too often, but only because its too damn expensive), cooking, politics, dancing at the clubs.

Damn this cold!

I hate being sick unless I'm in grade school and have an excuse to stay home and build a fort out of pillows and blankets. Of course, the last time I did that I was home sick with herpes, so maybe I'l...
