About Me

If I've sent you a request, it's because I saw something interesting on your page. If not sending a message first offends, sorry.
I've learned that life can throw the most amazing thing at you, at the most unexpected moment, and under the most complicated and horrible circumstances. And I've learned about myself that if I want that amazing thing bad enough, I can endure much.
After many, many years of being told to "relax, it will happen", and not believing it...it finally has. A wonderfully warm and loving person has come into my life, and I'm experiencing things I never thought possible. Love you Gretchen!
As to the specifics about myself, I'm really just an average guy who is lucky enough to have some wonderful friends, and to have found a beautiful woman who sees in me more than the "average" I see in the mirror. What more could a man want?
I'm a sci-fi geek. I love reading about astrophysics and egyptology. I used to game a lot (AO, WoW, UO), but don't have much time for that these days. I spend entirely too much time watching television because I enjoy being able to lose myself in a well written and acted story. I don't get out enough, because of a slight touch of social anxiety and my circle of friends, while fantastic, is probably a bit too small for my own good. And for the first time in my life, I'm experiencing true love.
That's all for now. If you're interested in knowing more, send me a message or invite, and strike up a chat. Hell, send me a message if you just want to laugh at my geekness! Peace!
"All of life can be broken down into moments of transition or moments .. of revelation. There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future, or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"
