About Me

I like to believe that I am all that I have listed under "I'd Like to Meet" below. You can always check with my friends, as they may think differently (not my best friends, though - they all agree with me. hehe).
I feel as if I have lived a hundred years in my 38 years. They have been packed with laughter and pain, great achievement and unforgettable losses, some times of complete confusion and many more of amazing clarity and outlook. But mostly, I have lived 38 years with no regrets, a clear conscience and conviction.
I have been many things in many lives. I have been the head of my family at 16, a college student at 30, a community leader at 26, and married at 20 (divorced at 24). I have been in love many times, heart broken several times, but am not jaded and still believe in love.
I have no delusions about life, and death. I think life is as random as death is. I don't believe in musts, and shoulds, and supposed tos. I think that life is mostly what you make of it, and it is best lived and enjoyed and appreciated when it is not compared to those of others'.
And in my real life, I am a Marketing Manager for a trade association (TV industry). I recently started this job and I love it. Here is the view from my office.
I am Armenian, and yes, I am out (to everyone) and have been for over ten years. I believe that life is not worth living if I can't live it being myself. Besides, I wouldn't know who to live it as.
I love food, and all my friends do as well. I believe that food is not medicine, and it does not always have to be good for you. Sometimes, the pleasure you receive from eating something delicious (and the smile on your face) is something your body (and soul) would love you for.
And most importantly, I love to laugh, and have a very dry sense of humor. I like subtle jokes, smart jokes, sarcasm and sharp wit. Here is a sample of what makes me chuckle.
I love my cute little nephews - Suren 3, (left) and Aram 1.5.
Here is Christmas with them.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The below is what I had written when I first got this page about a year ago. I love the fact that I have met the guy I have described below, and then some.

I would like to meet someone who has a good sense of humor, in his 30s or 40s, non-religious (as I have come to believe that those who are, I cannot fully understand/tolerate/respect), non-Republican (same reasons), sensitive, RESPECTFUL of himself and others, comfortable with himself (also means 'out') and content with his life, likes himself and has only good things to say about his mother.

My Mom is as amazing as she is beautiful.

Fit body is good (as in "I respect myself enough to take good care of my body/health"). Not into someone who spends enormous amounts of time to look "hot" on the outside (as I think they somewhat want to compensate for the lack of something "hot" inside).

But mainly, are you gonna know something I don't? And will you tell me all about it? Over dinner? At a reststop on Mulholland? During a roadtrip? In bed? While cooking? On a lazy Sunday morning? While alone together in a crowd of a million?

I hope so.

Fatal Attraction? Moi?

So my friend tells me that I "&have a fatal attraction to unavailable men." To which I replied: "&if they were available, the attraction wouldn't be fatal now, would it?" OK, the degree of fatal-ness ...

Not So Normal - From 2003

From where I stand, it seems absurd that there should be a separate category for who I am  a gay Armenian. But unfortunately there is one, and not such a popular one at that. From where I stand, my ...
