About Me

If the distance between how you dream your life should be and how it is, in reality holds true, then I've been seducing with my brain since at least '85,when I happened (inside "mommy"). Currently "happily layered," I consider myself much like rolling thunder chasing the wind: with a ton of joy and a bit of pain mixed together with perhaps a dash of sad, some considerable vulnerability rescuing thyself when I find myself hustling, I'd have to say I'm hard on the heels and curves & curbs of life and often described by friends & cohorts as "pretty intense." I consider myself a layered Native American (Cherokee) Catholic (spiritual, not religious, but I do have an active prayer life) humanitarian, Indian, t'was born & raised in Texas, colleged in Florida (several times), moved to California as a sideline model & actor and registered nurse. Full-blooded and responsive, brimming in self-confidence in what I am and more importantly who I am (and where I come from) with the rare but humble ability to not only see but also intrinsically feel the big picture and let the details work themselves out in the politics of life and as such, I often take the opposite approach to achieve most of my goal(s). As I told my teachers in grade school, "I didn't know there was a box (that I'm supposed to be thinking inside or out of)." I plant emotional seeds and work on people a little at a time. I have a great deal of patience, even though, I seem to always be in a hurry. I am filled with mistakes, (I blame George Bush and my parents for everything wrong in my life). However, I consider myself an edgy mix of good & bad; much like your favorite restaurant in a rough part of town; the neighborhood's a little rough, but the food is really great. I'm a Jane Goodall of people. I love people the way she adored and studied apes. People's behavior & thinking fascinate me on all sides of the spectrum. I predict behavior annoyingly well when my sensor's are on. My parents were shrinks and raised me on a couch. If my childhood was summed up in 4 words or less they would be: "Son. Have a seat." It's all I ever heard them say. I rarely loose my cool and like to think I possess a savvy cool wisdom about life. I plan and strike hard, politely, with purposeful deliberate intention. Not a bit shy & incomplete but over all total gentleman. I'm not gonna force anything on anyone, I'm gonna let you figure out the right questions for yourself; but I'm here when you need me. I read body language like its printed text on your forehead. I finish my friend’s thoughts all the time and lines in movies before they're spoken the first time viewed. People are always asking me, "Have you seen this already?" No. I just get it. I can spend 10 minutes with someone and feel their entire day on my shoulders. I am caller ID. I like to think I see "into" people & often wonder what they're made of. I like to push buttons, to test them, but I let the tests present themselves (truly harmless): A sort of natural challenge to myself and friends and purposefully try to get us to think less about ourselves and more about the world outside ourselves. I absolutely do challenge people. It's my little emotional, physical, spiritual, intellectual exercise and I'm always reevaluating. I speak and think in metaphors. I like to think I'm pretty bold & enormously honest. Fewer egos equal better work. I happen to dance in traffic (referring to driving) and pee like a sprinkler (referring to my male genitals) in public or private (preferably): My little gift to society. I still have that sweetness I had as a little boy only now it's coupled with the charm & charisma of a man. More than happy to volunteer for a worthy cause and have a personal love & talent for independent films, languages, cultures, accents and all the humor in-between life's funny lines. I love performing on stage & plenty of other mediums such as painting, sculpting, writing especially, and my current dream is heading towards television and film, possibly hosting my own quirky little big topic show one of these days: little questions for the big people with big questions for the little people; brings the big ones down, take the small ones up. Raised by a single mother, I grew up with fascination, awe, and reverence for women. Deadly romantic, I'm currently playing with French. I've mastered Texan, English, and I speak a ton of Medical Spanish. I am a poet and I am very much aware of it. There's a little Robert Frost in me growing into something more. I'm clinically addicted to the virtue of hope. It comes through me in waves like a drug in a bloodstream. It affects my entire body, starting with my heart, especially on the way to work or an audition. I'm well atoned, in tune (and ituned) as to how to motivate myself. I simply start on the inside. If Tupac was the rose that grew from concrete, then I'm the tulip that grew from a complicated pregnancy. A focused minimalist, with some positive and hopeful secular skepticism about the world. I owe entirely too many people money (college loans et. ex-girlfriends). And let's see, I collect very cool jackets and give one away a year to make room for the next. Lastly, I do believe that "Love" is the biggest and most important 4-letter word in Webster's today (and should be capitalized) and "can't" is a mistake in every dictionary it's printed (and should be in lower text/script). Me personally..., I just can't, "can't." On something worthwhile, I don't know how to "give up" but I do know what it means and how it feels. I think it's vital to worry about what's in front of you and that humor is everything in life even though this seems a little serious (but it's really more for fun than anything else). It's a mental world people (each of the world's wars we've ever had and are having now started in someone's head. So keep a clear one) not a physical one, and all the joy's on the inside exuding outward. Remember: it's ok to be vulnerable. I may half your size, but I can keep up socially well past your best efforts. I believe... rescue deliberately & seek intrinsic wisdom from it. I have God's personal permission to be nothing less than myself, Peace people, emotionallyavailable@gmail, keith patrick

My Interests

Rescue deliberately & seek intrinsic wisdom from it; Remember what Harry Connick Jr. once sang, :Safety is just danger out of place!" These are my general interests... Medicine & people in promoting/enhancing quality of life through intellect & humor so you/we/us will have "another day" to consider your life & it's choices. ..

I'd like to meet:

Myself, on a more full-filling level. this layout is from whateverlife.com!

Music:

It's where I go for advice (of life's politics) & believe personally it how God tends to reach me soonest/quickest/most readily.

Movies:

Soon I hope. ..

Television:

I like to discover, uncover, and recover. And then start all over again, only better.

Books:

I read body language (annoyingly well, regardless of any culture diversity) and the sweat off your brow like it's printed text on your forehead. It doesn't even belong to you, unless your aware of it (it belongs to me).

Heroes:

I find them in the most common of places, the frankest of situations, and more than any other place, hospital beds. Most (but not all) of my hero's tend to be women and usually dead by at least 70+ years.
