For a long while, I started this off by ranting about how I loathe these "tell us a bit about yourself" things. However, I've come to feel that beginning that way was a tad abrasive, so now I think I'll kick things off with a bit of self-penned prose.

"Your 'pious' men are wicked, yet we heathens are humble. We, the godless, are pure. Your 'righteous' men are corrupt. When the Days of Truth are upon us, where will you stand as man judges his own immortal soul?"

That roughly sums up my feelings about life and how to live it. Now, getting into the basic "about me" stuff, I've lived here in Lake Mary for the past four years, but I often visit my hometown of Clermont about forty miles southwest. I'm generally happy with where I am in life. I'm a fairly laid back guy who's not really looking for anything in particular and I have a tendency to let a lot of things just fall where they may and life has a way of sorting itself out for me. I like a lot of "at home" things like video games, reading, watching movies, and the like, but I do enjoy getting out and having some fun with friends every once in a while.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As a heads up before anything else, I'm currently in a polyamorous relationship Saebree. This isn't the same thing as an open relationship and I'm not just looking to get laid a lot (though one can only hope, eh?). I hope this info won't put off anyone who might be interested, but I feel the need to be upfront about something this big.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As one of those three little adjectives points out, I do a lot of deep thinking and I have a tendency to ask really random, philosophical or otherwise poignant questions out of the blue. I'm a good listener and help friends talk through their problems on a fairly regular basis. I can be a deeply romantic and sensitive guy and I'm fiercely loyal to those closest to me.

Take note here, I am both a geek and a nerd (though I'm not sure which applies more), but I lack most of the social ineptitude of being a dork (other than not being overly social on the whole). As stated before, I loves me some video games, both console and PC, and I am also a fan of the following: anime, many weird things on the intarwebz (from Numa Numa to LOLcats, I love it all), Dungeons & Dragons and role-playing in general, the furry fandom (not a fursuiter, mostly just a huge fan of anthropomorphic art/animation), and Star Wars. Any of these topics equals a good conversation starter in my book (that, or busting out some awesome philosophical ramble!).

------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: In addition to everything stated above, and as an open, upfront admission, I AM A SEVERE PERVERT! However, I am NOT going to focus every conversation on sex and I WILL NOT message you in the attempts to get it. If you WANT to talk about it, I'm more than willing. I find the psychology of sex, sexuality, and, in fact, sex itself fascinating. Also, if YOU are wanting the sexings, I won't necessarily say "no" flat out, but I really like to get to know people first. Mostly-anonymous sex isn't my thing, regardless of how much I love the act. In summary, if I'm sending you a message, it's probably because I find you interesting and want to learn more about you.
------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I'm going to leave it at that. If there's anything else you want to know that my profile can't tell you, you'll just have to ask me yourself.

Well, I'm honestly not sure what this is asking for, so I'll try to say it all. On the whole, my ultimate goal in life is happiness. I know that seems obvious, but a lot of people don't get what that means. Regardless, when I'm happy, I'm happy. When I'm NOT happy, I do what I can to fix the situation. When it can't be fixed by me, I step back and utilize the "let the pieces fall where they may" approach and everything works out.

For some relatively short-term specifics, I'm focusing on paying off some debts that I have that were mostly incurred by a failed relationship. My other prime goal is to get in shape and lose some weight that I've put on in the last few years. I had a short stint at a community college a few years back, but I do intend to pursue higher learning, even if it's just taking courses I'm interested in.

As far as long-term goals are concerned, I may not be alive tomorrow, so I find that planning more than a few years ahead is a little silly. Also, I am not the type of person who really desires riches or fame. I wouldn't complain if I landed in the big bucks, but money is little more than a tool and is not my key to happiness, and fame seems annoying for the most part. As long as I have the money to survive and to allow me to buy the things that I want and time enough to enjoy those things, I don't really care much beyond that.

Drawing, video games, eating, thinking, the English language, and possessing a near encyclopedic knowledge of a huge-number-ajillion internet videos and flash animations.

Ask them.

Food: vegans and PETA members should stop reading right now, because nothing quite beats an excellently prepared prime rib. Otherwise, I LOVE Asian food and always enjoy a good salad. I do enjoy fast food (how American) and am a soda addict, Dr. Pepper by preference. Mac'n'cheese is always delicious, bacon and eggs is the best start to any day, and I can always make time for a cup of good coffee.

1. Love
2. Sex
3. Music
4. Video games
5. Books
6. The quantity (pencil + paper)

(I'm going with the assumption that my basic needs are met, and love includes romantic, platonic, and familial.)

Existence, where I fit into it, what it all means, and sex. Honesty is the best policy, and Freud would be proud.

Either home or out.

I'm not just listing myself as bisexual to seem "interesting". I actually have been intimate with other guys before and I do find men attractive.

...you want to. In addition to messaging me on here, my email is krowedarken@yahoo.com and, for faster contact, I am krowedarken on both AIM and YIM. I'm almost constantly online, so shoot me an IM whenever you feel like it.

NOTICE: To any gents looking to message me, I'm not looking for a partner of my own gender at the moment. While the above stated remark about being attracted to guys is true, I've been hurt deeply by a guy in my past and am generally more attracted to females. Thus I am VERY picky about men. I'm open to the possibility, and would consider a relationship, but I'm certainly not looking to just "hook up". That fact applies to BOTH genders.

All that said, I'm up for anything from the occasional online chat to meeting up for coffee, lunch, dinner, whatever. Hell, if you're just BORED, drop me a line. I'll probably respond. If nothing else, I'm always in the mood for new friends (awwwww!)(...sarcasm).
