About Me

"First they put away the dealers...then they put away the prostitutes...then they shooed away the bums...then they beat and bashed the queers. We didn't raise our voice, we didn't make a fuss. It's funny there was no one left to notice -- when they came for us."
"I am not your rolling wheels -- I am the highway. I am not your carpet ride -- I am the sky. I am not your blowing wind -- I am the lightning. I am not your autumn moon -- I am the night."
"Remember, after every dark night, there's a bright day after that. So, no matter how hard it gets, stick your chest out...keep your head up...and handle it."

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

"So maybe the 'elite' girls just aren't for me. But one of these days, I'm going to meet a girl who really loves me. Maybe she won't be what you call 'hot' but I'll think she's beautiful, and I'll tell her so. I won't be mean to her because I won't have to play games with her. I'll just be the guy that she can always count on, and that will be enough. And she'll be 'elite' to me."
