I felt like lying down by the side of the trail and remembering it all. The woods do that to you, they always look familiar, long lost, like the face of a long-dead relative, like an old dream, like a piece of forgotten song drifting across the water, most of all like golden eternities of past childhood or past manhood and all the living and the dying and the heartbreak that went on a million years ago and the clouds as they pass overhead seem to testify (by their own lonesome familiarity) to this feeling. Ecstacy, even, I felt, with flashes of sudden remembrance, and feeling sweaty and drowsy I felt like sleeping and dreaming in the grass. (Jack Kerouac)

I love a good turn of the phrase and how better does one summarize oneself than to show what moves them? Is it the facts and figures and numbers or is it something less tangible that summarizes a person? I'm about 6' tall, 183 pounds, keeping in good shape and feeling pretty good, but the quote above tells you more about me than the numbers.

I'm a lawyer in an immigration law practice and on the weekends I dress up in funny clothes and drink honey wine from a horn. I have other activities besides SCA and the list of things I enjoy is a lot longer than what I care to list. Sufficed to say, I like learning almost anything I can and I love to keep my mind engaged. I like evenings in more than evenings out, but don't want to always be stuck inside. As for other things I'm doing, ask me and I'll tell you what my next project is.

Probably that I have no hair to speak of, though I'd prefer they were looking at my grey eyes.

Any movie directed by Kurosawa

the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace things, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center light pop and everybody goes "AWWW!"

I read this quote while looking through On the Road and I was immediately pulled into his world.

I'm not sure what else to put here, but when I was 12, I thought Pippi Longstocking was hot. Recently someone showed me a picture of the actress who played her. She's still hot.

If you want to chat, I love meeting people. I am married, so if you are interested, ask me about polyamory.
