About Me

My goal is not to be focused, its to stay concentrated. To have a potent and pure mixture of all of the right elements. Not to be directed toward a single point, but to be well-guided on an ever continuous, always changing journey. This way, I can encompass multiple venues rather than to define my life with one solitary destiny. So when you think of Marcus Johnson, you will not think of one thing, you will think of many things all occurring simultaneously in your soul. -Me
I was born in West Germany, and have lived in Kentucky, Chicago, Oklahoma, Connecticut and New York (some of these places multiple times). My various residencies are partly due to growing up in a military family (father, mother, and 3 siblings). Yet, as I grew older my intrigue for new places led me to continue to travel. I've journeyed across the U.S., studied Spanish in Central America, ventured across Asia, and even swam in the waters of the Carribean. It means something when you can say that you've had Chinese food with a Chinese woman in China.
My travels give me more to write about, think about, and consider about most things. Those who have similar experiences know what I mean.
Question: Don't you ever want stability? Answer: I've never felt unstable. I've always had a roof over my head and food to eat. Moving and traveling was a way of life and I always eagerly awaited the adventure of meeting new people and exploring a new place.
Question: Where would you like to settle?
Answer: Settle? The world is my playground.
Question: Where would you like to live?
Answer: Lots of places: China, Africa, Savannah, England, etc.
Question: What about your family?
Answer: My family is well traveled. Also, I live life now as a single man. It is my hope that when I one day start a family that we'll travel to new places. Education is a result of exposure. I'd like my children to know the world.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Dancers!, passionate women, fellow educators, good people, fellow geniuses, creative people, skateboarders, jazz pianists, funny women, writers, thinkers, knowledgable folks, people who are into history, women who read, people who travel, etc.

If you're boring... well... um... I hope you strive for more. If you want to stay bored, then I definitely don't want to meet you.
