About Me

Born in Austin Tx, 47 gay man. graduated from UT with a BFA. Lived in Texas my whole life, then in 2000 moved to Oregon where my misadventures with life all began...and that is a long long painful story that will have to be for a blog of something. Have to say that the two things things that have saved my sanity in this f*cked up world, other than my belief in God... is humor and music. Music vaved me during those anguish teen years all the way up to the present. If I'm in a funk I just spin some tunes like Erasure, 80's synth or some heady progrock or Bowie and the pain goes away. I might play a Sandra Bernhard cd or watch her dvd's, she is one few comedians who can make me laugh out loud. Not to sound like Debbie Downer here, but my life as a gay man has not been a bed of roses. I'd say it's the looking for the perfect mate (bearish regular joe) in a world of android paint by number queens in a hostile hetro society that puts a damper on things! lol! Everytime I read about another sister being brutalized just for being gay my blood boils and my heart breaks. One of the problems my gay brothers and sisters seem to have is too much self loathing... or they develop a biggoted view towards straights which is sooo counter productive. I do like to play musical intruments but never formed a band, way to stage shy for that... although I'd love to make a cd or two, even if no one ever heard them. I did have big hopes of being a artist, but life in Oregon has been so hard just to get by, it has chased away my muse for sometime now. Would love to meet with some other artist and get inspired to work again. Never really found my forte' to be honest, kind of so -so with all forms of art... oils, ceramics, photography... liked lithograph but barely did anything in that field, nothing worth a poot anyway.The CricketSoda Myspace Profile Editor

My Interests

philosophy, gay studies, art, music, movies , HUMOR, humor humor... if you don't have a sense of humor don't even bother!!!! religious studies (World and Judea Christian), UTOPIA, seem to be fascinated by dinosaurs. Music is a big thing, dance/gay, classic soul, new wave, 80's synth, prog rock (YES). Love interesting conversations .... whats on the other side of the end of the Universe to trying to solve the riddles of life. My spiritual quest and relationship with the Divine plays a big part of my life (read my blog about how I cope with being gay and believe in God). At the same time, science is very important to me (never miss Nova on PBS) and discovering all the wonders of this incredible Universe of never ending possiblities. here's mine http://s82.photobucket.com/albums/j275/willow47/

I'd like to meet:

Bowie, Annie Lennox, Ellen Degenres (she cracks me up!) Sandra Bernhard (manic depression/superstar need I say more) Lene Lovich would be fun I think.... (her new cd rocks!) not star truck per sey just want to tell them thanks for the joy they have imparted on me.... as for as men goes, call me jaded, but I think most are hopelessly self centered jerks... who wouldn't know compassion if it bit them on the ass. and love? if you can get them away from the mirror long enough maybe a chance... what would Spock say.... 1 in 1.75 billion chances of finding "true" love... coffee anyone??? ok... if you are out there... you mere mortals.... be modest, be humble, cute in a stupid ass way... and fuzzy (have had a bear fetish since I was a child!) ...oh yes... and I'd like to meet Bono, thank him for his marvelous work on humane causes... then I'd rip those damn silly glasse off his handsome irish face!!!!!!

I'm seeing more dvd,vhs, cd's checked out then books... are books becoming extinct???? lets hope not... well there's always Kramers coffee table book! lol!!!!!

All those poor souls (loyal soldiers being sent as fodder) in this horrible needless war!!!!! bring 'em home NOW!!!!!!!! not one more young body slain!!!!! and for WHAT????? OIL? To finish what daddy didn't during the gulf war? All I know is the grounds for this war no longer hold water with what we now know, and what of the one who actually attacked us??? Remember him? Where is hell is Bin laden? He's in Afganistan, not Iraq!!!! finally ****ALL mothers are heroes in their own right!!!! **** and for all the UNSONG heroes... KUDO's to YOU!!! WHATS SO FUNNY ABOUT PEACE, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING!! Love WILL FIND LOVE...will find love, Will FIND love... Ken Hensley
