I am here for Friends

About Me

6'6 video game addict...father, husband, homo...son, brother, sistah...jack of all trades, general know it all, and collector of animals.

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Peace

ABBA has gotten me through so many hard times...and this year is no exception. They are there in good times and bad...just a mouse click away. I remember them from my childhood - on the 8 track in the living room in Nottingham; in the tape deck of the 1976 BMW 2002 ti whose windows would bite my toddler fingertips; as a high school student, playing their CD's while trying to find the courage to come out; on the overhead speakers of every plane on every trip I've made to Europe...ABBA is like a binkie, or a blankie. I find this song most apropos...

My Interests

Russian vodka, French wine, Russian literature, German cars, great food, boobs (yes, i'm gay, but I love boobs....deal with it), video games, fish, dogs, cats, using my passport, making friends, and Euro rally racing.

I'd like to meet:

Karl Marx, Divine, Gandhi, the prophet Mohammed (peace & blessings be upon him), Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Vlad Putin, Leif Erickson, Alexander the Great, Socrates, Adam Smith, Akhmatova, Pushkin, and Edith Piaf...to name but a few.

Music:

this is a category that runs the gamut...
