Another year older- another year on here. Yet somehow, in spite of that seniority, I still think of this self-summarizing as a ridiculous degradation of a persons essence.

My name is Will, and I am an entertainer. My trade varies from amateur guitar ist, to semi-professional actor / singer. When I'm looking for a fun night though, I tend to either be at my piano or practicing my sword technique.

I tend to be a bit of a private person, but, for what I lack in disclosure, I more than make up for with compassion and willingness to listen to others. If you really want to know who I am, try talking to me. I may take a bit due to a hectic schedule, but I'll get back to you if you offer something fun to talk about.

I am ingenuitive, introspective, and indomitable

Well, my life is moving in several directions at once right now.

I'm getting ready to go back to college again. It's a very exciting and long awaited prospect. Which, of course, means right now I'm trudging my way back through all the tid-bits of knowledge I'll need for retaking the SAT, followed by a brief check to see if my AP Calculus credits are still transferable.

Met with this debate, and the surprising fact that, thanks to my father, I'm free to pretty much choose whatever pleases me without regards for consequences, I'm caught in a heated self-debate over wether I'll be studying Psychology and Philosophy, follow a more reasonable path of Engineering and Architecture, or walk an even more narrow precipice by pursuing a seminary degree.

That aside, at present, I am also pursuing many careers. My acting career has been a lot of fun, and helped to rebuild my self-esteem after two years of a prestigious music school left me with stage fright. I'm sure I could go farther, and I've got all of the neccessary connections now, as well as acclaim and award to my name, but with my life coming back together and back into focus, I"m finding that I don't need it anymore. Ultimately, I was looking for a family and a home, and I've found that now.

So does that mean I"m quitting the theatre- not quite. Every year, I've stopped to think about retiring from it due to financial instability. For now, I'm going to keep it up and enjoy the wonderful company that it brings my way, but I'll be starting on a grand journey in a couple of months, and I'm just not sure where it will fit into my life then. Which, by the way, may also mean my bidding adieu to okcupid.

Learning new skills, and making people feel good about themselves

Well, they either see me singing to myself while I'm walking down the streets and presume I'm some mad lunatic or wierdo, or the see my art and think I"m confident and talented.

Eh, you've waited for a few years, I can share a little more...I suppose.

Books: The Essential Confucius , The Count of Monte Cristo , Hagakure , Bushido , the Bible , Tao te Ching , an annotated copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War, Neil Gaiman's Sandman . To keep this from getting excessively long, I'm a big fan of Samurai Virtues, Philosophy, and well written... well... anything.

Movie?: The Princess Bride , House of Flying Daggers, Legend of the Drunken Master , Shinobi: Heart Under Blade, Dream of a Warrior , Brick. . .these are going to become long long lists. Maybe I should have stuck with just giving two examples of each.

Music: Sondheim, Gilbert and Sullivan, Punk, Metal (in any form with clean lyrics), Gregorian Chants on occasion. . .look, I have weird taste if your just going to nit pick. . .

TV (because that's a smaller list than food): sliders , Babylon 5 , Joss Whedon..enough said. Star Trek , Big Bang Theory , Frasier. I'm not a snob, I just like thinks that are intellectually engaging to me or immerse me in fantasy...preferably both.

cuddling/long hugs, laughter, (insert any and all items essential to maintaining vitality), stimulation (mental/physical/emotional), music and the arts, & creative outlets

honor, psychology and sociology. Delving my mind into pseudo-sciences and heavy philosophies. Debating the ideals of religion and their impact on society, questioning if it is really possible to live a dual path of Christianity and Bushido.

playing my guitar, working, or getting ready for a performance somewhere.

According to OKcupid, I like women who are more bitchy than 95% of my peers will tolerate. . . . Hmmm, maybe that's why I'm single.

You're an intellectual looking for someone to mutually express appreciation for higher thought; you're crazy and looking for someone to talk about absolutely nothing with; you want a friend who'll always try to comfort you and make you smile when you're sad; you got a better reason why you should be talking with me.
