Hey people.....just here to live life to the fullest. Talk to me and I will tell you anyting you want to know....I am looking for a man to love who will love me in return unconditionally. I am masculine, but a hopless romantic, strong yet sensitive and funny yet, well, funny.

I recently graduated with degrees in Theatre, English and Political Sciences. I was to move to San Francisco, but I am going to stay in Misery (MO) a bit longer and obtain my Masters. Maybe two of them. Hell, I love to learn. I would love to be a professional student if I could get away with it. I have decided, finally, in my life to be as open, honest, loving and me that I can be. I love me and I want someone to love me for me. And I want to love someone for them. So far, damn the luck! I love to write, so much, in fact, that I am bouncing between several separate projects. I am working on THE GERMAN SOLDIER, a novel set in WWI, AUDITION and AMERICAN RAINBOW, both film scripts and few plays, THE DIE and AT THE THRESHOLD OF THE APOSTLES .

I love creating. Wheather it's a screenplay, or acting, or directing, or cooking, or poetry, or music...I love it all. As far as acting or directing? Well, one is my love. The other is my passion. I think I am good at both but there is something more creative to directing than anything....I love it. I am also really good at Hold 'em. Couldn't tell you why.

Hmm...this one is a tuffy. Depends on the person, I guess. Most people say they notice my passion for life and my sense of humor, which is a little off-beat. Others say they notice that I am opinionated. People also tell me how masculine I am for a gay man. I think I am just being me. But, every-so-often, someone will comment on my eyes.

A - BOOKS) I love to read. I have read WICKED, RUNNING WITH SCISSORS, THE CONSTANT GARDENER, 1776, THE DaVINCI CODE, all the Harry Potter novels, CHOCOLAT, THE GOOD EARTH, WUTHERING HEIGHTS, CONFESSIONS of an UGLY STEPSISTER, MY LIFE-BILL CLINTON, and countless others. I enjoy Elmore Leonard, James Ellroy, John Steinbeck, F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Harris. I believe my favorite, thus far, is COLD SASSY TREE, by Olive Ann Burns. Delightful.

B - MOVIES) Oy, Gavault! This is a hard one. I love THE SAWSHANK REDEMPTION, REBECCA, GONE WITH THE WIND, DOUBLE INDEMNEDY, THE LOST WEEKEND, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, L.A. CONFIDENTIAL, PI, SHINE, THE ABYSS, LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL, MR. & MRS. SMITH, SE7EN, DEATH BECOMES HER and SOAPDISH, all for various reasons. My favorite, of all time, though, has to be AMERICAN BEAUTY. Deep, romantic, funny, sad, and a quote a minute.

C - MUSIC) This one is not an easy one to answer, either, primarily because I don't have one genre that I listen to. Some artits I enjoy are DAVE MATTHEWS BAND, CAKE, MADONNA, SAAVAGE GARDEN, THE KRONOS QUARTET, ROXETTE, SYSTEM OF THE DOWN, and ERIC CLAPTON. I like any piece of music which moves me. It has to be moving, whether melodically, lyrically, or orchestrally, it has to bring me to tears or give me that funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. A lot of different genres do that to me.....except Rap. Ick!

D - FOODS) I am not a picky eater. I will eat just about anything with the exception of nuts and pork. No, I am not jewish nor do I have any special affiliction or fettish for swine. I just don't care for the taste. I do, however, love sushi, italian, and you haven't lived until you have tasted my grandmother's greasy as hell, southern fried chiken. It'll give you a heart attack. But, oh man, is it worth it!

E - TELEVISION) (Lost category) After all of this I am suprised T.V. is not on here. To be honest, I don't watch television all too often. I am never home....But I do like THE GOLDEN GIRLS and SOAP and WILL AND GRACE....I am on a FAMILY GUY kick righ now, and I do have several seasons of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. No, I don't dress up in ears and costumes, I just enjoy the show. I love TOP CHEF, too!

F - BROADWAY AND THEATRE) (another Lost Category) I can't believe they don't have this one on here either. I love AVENUE Q, HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING, CHICAGO, SWEENY TODD, THE COLOR PURPLE, RENT, and WICKED....but my favorite has to be DAMN YANKEES....and of course, Shakespeare's MACBETH.

Love, Romance, Honesty, Forgiveness, Family & Friends, and Food....and if there is a seventh one....the stage. Oh, and I do love sex....but that is a privilage, not a neccessity.

I spend alot of time thinking about life in general. I am not a philosopher by anymeans, however, I do like to think about ways I can improve myself, my community, or my job....I ran for office once. (Damn the Republicans! LOL) I also think about my writings or my job....and those I love.

This is all up in the air...depends on the day, the week, or even the season.....and of course, who you plan on spending it with.

I actually hate American Idol. And I don't say that to most people for fear of getting lynched.

You should message me if any of this strikes an interest, if you are funny, passionate, and if you are willing for a real relationship...friends is good, too.
