I'm tired of these fields. Reading over tons of profiles has made them monotonous, even with the plethora of responses. So instead, I'm going to ask random people in my life what some questions are that could describe me. If you feel you might have something you could ask, feel free to do so. :)

Do you like to dance?

Hah, it figures this would be the first one to come up... I LOVE dancing. I've actually given up on walking, and now I either dance or run wherever I'm going, depending on the urgency of my life at that point. I dance every single day, and I find it to be one of the most pleasant forms of meditation, up there with rock climbing. I let go of any thought or expectation of what the world is around me and live solely in my body, feeling what's happening inside of it. No goal for the future, no memories of the past. Just dance.

Why the hell don't you drink/do drugs?

Hah, this one's an interesting one. I'll do my best to explain it in text. Basically, I've lost my inhibitions years ago, so there's not much reason to drink. If there's something I want to do, I'll do it. I'm not afraid of rejection and I don't need the liquid confidence of booze to get me to do what I truly want. I'll either approach you and get shot down, or I'll carry out a lasting conversation, exchange some smiles, and inspire a bit more happiness in life. Either way, they both sound fantastic compared to sitting in a corner staring longingly at a pretty girl who I'm just dying to talk to but don't have the guts to do so.

Also, I'm aware that all drugs (alcohol included) are just an altered state of perception. If I wanted to, I could simply change my way of thinking and get into that mindset. I've done stuff in the past, feel free to ask what if you'd like, but I have the awareness of what it does to me, so I can tap into it whenever I need to. Sobriety just happens to be my favorite state of being. :)

Why do you exist?

Warning! If you do not have an open mind and an open heart, you'll probably only feel very uncomfortable and maybe even offended by reading this. If you feel this is the same reason you exist, thank you SO MUCH, because we both know we need all the help we can get.

So it's pretty unbelievable that I've already found the purpose for my existence, but it's also refreshing knowing I can spend the rest of my time doing what I want with my life. I've been stuffed into this body for one simple purpose: I'm here to inspire happiness and the awareness of love in absolutely everything in existence. I will never hurt anyone in any way. I am impeccable with my word and I will never let ANYONE get me down. The more love I have for myself the more I can express to the world around me. Love is boundless. I love myself unconditionally, therefore I know what it's like to love and be loved unconditionally. This gives me the ability to truly understand how I feel about the world. I love everyone, unconditionally. I love you, oh wonderful reader. Yes, a complete stranger is saying he loves you. Told you this might make you uncomfortable. :) However, those of you who accept it, know that in every moment of your life, there are people like me (I know I'm not the only one; we're out there) who do and always will love you, no matter what.

Do you know how to please a woman?

Ahh, I'm glad this one was asked. I feel that being open about sexuality is incredibly healthy and people need to stop being so uncomfortable just discussing it, let alone making a move on it, haha.

So I have an interesting view on sex. A lot of my lesbian friends are absolutely amazed about what I have to say to them and truly feel like I AM a lesbian, based on how I view and feel about women. I think it's funny, but I definitely understand what they say. So maybe this will explain if I know how to please a woman:

When I'm with someone in a sexual context, I am there for them. I appreciate and love them for exactly who they are, and I feel so blessed I've been given this opportunity to express myself physically in a way that will put them in a place that couldn't physically be happier. I love the person and their body, no matter what shape. I am in that situation to please the person I'm with. I can get off any time I want, but I only have these select few moments in my life where I'm allowed to please another person. Because of that, I do my absolute best in bringing the utmost pleasure to the human being sharing their body with me, as I am with them. I empathize and understand women incredibly well, and I have a strong grasp on the female anatomy. I will not be with you to get off; I'll be there to get you off. Finding myself in this situation with a like minded individual in that sense is probably one of the most rewarding things I can hope for- Pure happiness and ecstasy exchanged between two people.

Where is your favorite place to be?

Oh man, that's such a tough question. There are so many absolutely fantastic places on this planet, and that's just on that's just on this planet...

The first couple places that popped into my head were Spain and Iceland. Spain has got to be the number one place I've come across that I can really relate to as far as my lifestyle's concerned. The Spanish are all about enjoying their life, taking it easy, and making sure they're happy more than anything else. At least that's the vibe that I got while I was out there.

Now Iceland... Iceland has quite possibly the most beautiful sky I've ever seen. During the winter there's up to 20-22 hours of darkness a day, and it's never a far trek to get somewhere with absolutely no light pollution. On top of that, the Aurora Borealis shows up pretty frequently. I've fallen in love with the sky more than anything else in this life, and that's a marvelous place to do so.

What does music mean to you?

Music = life. I mean that in every sense of the way that you can think of it. Anything you can apply to life, you can apply to music, and vice verse. I'd get into it, but that would just take up WAYY too much time and space.

I'm a musician, newly engrossed in the world of music (it's been years). I'm playing guitar, piano, percussion instruments (I only own a djembe so far), and I'm teaching myself harmonica. It's all a slow process, but I wouldn't spend my time any other way. I'm going to be attending SFSU as a music major, if that says anything about my passion for it all. :)

What's your take on jealousy?

I think jealousy is one of the most evil, spiteful feelings in the world. Because of this, I'm incredibly proud to admit that I've completely let go of the feeling and I'll never feel it again. Here's the alternate perspective I have on things that would otherwise inspire jealousy:

When I am with someone, a good friend, a lover, what have you, I cherish that moment and love the fact that I can be with them at that time. Now, when we separate and go about our own lives, I wish that they can be as happy as is possible. So when I hear stories of someone I'm close with being intimate with another, this pleases me. I'm incredibly happy that they're able to feel loved and shown affection even while I'm not around. I wish for the utmost happiness for ALL of humanity, and I'm only one man, so who am I to feel anger towards someone who's showing affection to someone I love? I am SO glad that they have someone else to share their love with other than me, because I can't be everywhere at once. Because they are spending time with other people, it makes me feel even more proud to be one of the people they choose to be present with, because obviously they have options. If you agree with that, please get ahold of me. I'd love to talk to you about it. :)

What do you want to know more about?

Besides everything? Hah, I think all knowledge is worth having, but in specific...

Languages- I plan on traveling the world with my life. I'd love to be able to talk to anyone I come across. :)

Music- The knowledge that is music is boundless. I want to study it and play it for the rest of my life. I'll never turn down the opportunity to play an instrument because I'm "too embarrassed" or some crap. If I never try it I'll never learn it. :)

Anatomy- Mainly for massage purposes. Massage is a great way to make people feel better no matter what state they're in. I know well enough to make someone feel at peace, but the more I know the more I could actually help.

Do you believe in soulmates?

I believe all of existence collectively occurs within one universal consciousness. We are all a part of it and have always been a part of it. I believe we have existed long before our bodies have existed, and throughout time we've been interacting with one another. Anyone we've interacted with and had a connection with in the past I deem to be a soulmate of this life. We have been together forever and will be so, whether our bodies are near one another or not. I've found a couple, and so happy that I have. I can't wait to meet more. :) Oh, also, very important... these aren't necessarily sexual connections, although they can be.

Why not?

This is my favorite question ever. I thought this would be a nice one to end with. If you ever want to do something, do it. Have no fears for what may happen, and know that when your life is all said and done, you've done the absolute best you can in every situation. Every time you're afraid to do something, ask yourself that question. You'll learn a lot about yourself if you ask this regularly. :)

They tell me no; I ask, "Why not?"
