About Me

my music website: http://www.tijnmusic.com. I'm 28, 6'5" and athletic, living in Weho (snooze) and working at a boutique BTL agency (ask me what BTL is). i guess i'll just list things i love and that will give you some impression of who i am..... i love music (electronica, ambient, classical, rock, pop, R&B). i love sipping bourbon on the rocks. i love long, improvisational road trips around California's wildly diverse landscapes. i love people who love California in spite of its faults, and understand why California is and always will be the greatest state in the Union. i love photography, particularly landscape/architectural photography. i love smartly directed and conceptualized commercials and music videos that are as much about forwarding the form as they are selling a product. i love people who understand that being gay does not have to determine every aspect of one's personality, including who you're friends with, what you wear, how many times a week you work out, et cetera. i love people who are not offended easily and who enjoy discussing controversial, problematic issues. i love people with a dirty yet smart sense of humor. i love irony. i love my ex-boyfriend even though he will never grow up and become an adult. i love my college roommates and friends. i love my parents, my sisters, and my nephew Jimmy. i love Del Mar; Laguna Beach; Portland, Oregon; the Dutch province of Zeeland; Amsterdam in July; the Anza-Borrego Desert; the Eastern Sierra stretch of US Highway 395 between Inyokern and Lake Tahoe; Death Valley, especially Badwater; Sequoia/Kings Canyon; the road between Frazier Park and Maricopa; the road from Lake Henshaw to Borrego Springs; the wind caves at Split Mountain; the caves at Canyon Sin Nombre; the arrivals area / train station at Schiphol Airport; the cow pasture next to the forest outside the Dutch town of Burgh; the stretch of Old Highway 101 between Del Mar and Oceanside; the way the sunset looks at El Mirage Dry Lake in the late summer.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

looking for platonic straight/gay guy friends, non-platonic gay guy more-than-friends, and maybe a couple fag hags.... if you're an interesting, smart, funny, educated and attractive gay guy in Cali, under the age of 30 and not ridiculously shorter than me (i think i've decided that 5'10" is probably the shortest i can go..... LOL), shoot me a message. i'm looking for interesting, smart, funny, educated people who have interesting, smart and funny things to say. people who have a passion and are pursuing their biggest dreams for life. i'm NOT interested in meeting gym bunnies who pretend to be models when they're really just mortgage brokers/accountants/real estate brokers; people who use crystal on a regular basis; people who drive Hummers; people who judge others based on the value of their clothing and material goods; people who walk around in public places talking loudly on their cell phones about who they slept with the night before; people who obsess about carbs and calorie counting and look down on you because you like peanut M&Ms on occasion. oh and if you're into electronica...... definitely say hey.
