About Me

I am a practicing vegetarian. No softdrinks, no coffee, only milk, more or less soya milk or more of your milk ;-).I am fearfully and wonderfully made.I am a proud activist of the national democratic movement.I can't decide whether self awareness is a source of energy or of impotence. My real self is anti-social -- a lunatic chained in a basement, grunting and pounding on the floor, while the rest of my family, sits upstaires ignoring the tumult. I don't know what to do with my lunatic -- destroy him, keep him lock in the cellar, or set him free.But I have also realized that, however mystical, no church and no sacrement can protect me against the ultimate threat to my vital existence: losing the sense of my own being.My past is the only firmament worth knowing, and I am its sole star. It is as haunting and mysterious as the sky overhead, and as impossible to discard.There must be a place beyond words -- a place of pure existence -- to which I wish I could return.In the eyes of the world... I am an average man. But to my heart I am not an average man. To my heart I am of great moment. The challenge I face is how to actualize, how to concretize, the quite emminence of my being.Beyond all agony and anxiety lies the most important ingredient of self-reflection: the preciousness of my own existence...and I resist the thought of gambling away its meaning.I am a proud "bayot", but I don't have any close "bayot" and "bi-yot" friends. Most of my close friends, are all straight people, mostly same sex, outside of the beautiful and life threatening, activist world. Others are living miles away from where I am now. Speak a different language, covered by a different color.My parents, relatives, and most of my friends don't know that I am a proud gay. Others will call me a screaming faggot but my very close straight male friend would declare otherwise: one who loves to hang out with me, said, "I am a gentle flower."
