About Me

Characters we are forever entwined with

...And when these faces
become stitched
in your heart,
you know. All,
in some way
a reflection of you.
Then you are a kaleidoscope.

by L.L. Jacobson

My name is Marc from Chicagoland, here by way of Pittsburgh, PA., by way of Wellsville, OH...and ready to step into the world.

“Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.”
~ Anais Nin

My Interests

more about me
I love writing, and reading, music and poetry, history, genealogy and art. Trees and clouds and beautiful people. I enjoy treasure hunting at garage and yard sales for old vinyl records and books for my collection. Also, fossil hunting, hiking, taking long drives on unknown roads, journaling, erotica, science fiction, movies, theater (when I can make it), music concerts and small club venue, swimming, people watching, myspace surfing, travel, family reunions.

I'd like to meet:

People of interesting persuasions who have an inquisitive mind and soul as I do. Show me a person whose mind is bigger than the latest reality TV show or top 40 hit song...with deep artistic tastes for music, art, theater, literature. Show me people with an open, progressive outlook on life, love, friendship and the universe...who are not afraid of the unconventional, or even taboo. Show me a seeker of the Truth and not a sheep follower of vain tradition. Show me smart, funny, loving, intelligent, adventurous, artistic, unconventional yet stable, sexy, exciting, risque, and maybe something new that you have to show.
