I'm a 42 year old polyamorous bisexual male. All other labels are too diminishing. How am I to define myself with words? Am I defined by my expereinces? If so which ones? Should I be defined by years of hitchhiking around the country, or by years of playing games in my basement? Am I the hippy who traveled to concerts? Or the geek who's been to countless conventions?
I cross boundless worlds and find some portion of myself in all of them. I am so many things, and truly defined by none of them. Where do I end and the world begin?

I say these things, but do not get the idea that I do not know myself. I have made a life of studying me, by studyng that which affects me. And yet tommorow I will be someone else.

Good points: Fun, protective, creative, funny, passionette, compasionette, polite, smart, self-educated, well informed, caring, political, versatile, spontaneous, happy.

Bad points: lazy, spontaneous, sometimes flaky.

My relationships are realigning. The world is new and exciting, and I could go 1000 different directions. I stand on the edge of the cliff of possiblity. I have lived several lives, and I have just begun a new one. Tommorow is the first day of the rest of my life, and it is that day that will define what I'm doing. At any time I will tell you that until tommorow comes, I'll live for today.

I have been the vagabond, the geek, the hippy, the father, the husband, the entrepeneur, the social butterfly, and the hermit. Now it is time to find some new part of me. It is time to learn more.

Curently I'm working in security. I'd like to own my own store someday. I have a five year plan in motion, but it's slow going.

Creating worlds. I have brought many people together, founded many organizations and clubs, which often develop a life of their own. This spans from running a Larp for 10 years, to a bisexual support group, a poly support group, Uniterian Church groups, to just helping out with gaming and other aspects of conventions.
People have met and married through introductions I have made. Families have spawned from communities I have created.

I create families of my own intent. I bond to friendships which last from one lifetime to the next. I bind my soul to others and learn, live, and grow. I have recently reevaluated some of my friendships, and I still have an amazing amount of trustworthy, supportive wonderful freinds.

The first things are generally misleading, and in my case possibly not compelling. Those who dwell on the physical will probably notice my slightly misaligned spine. (due to childhood accident). It's not that bad, and maybe most people don't notice, but I fear they probably do. Past that I'm thin, and a little geeky.

I wear bright happy clothes that tend to stand out. I have given some thought to having my own unique style, and you may think I hurt your eyes, but you'll have to admit I'm unique. I've been trying to take care of myself, and I don't think I look terrible, but what do I know? I do get alot of compliments on my shirts. I also get a few "ow..turn that thing down.." I think I like those as much as the compliments.

However those who look within will find my courtesy, my passion and fire, and my interest and respect for people. My love of life, my desire to learn, my desire to explore the feelings and opinions of others. They will notice I have opinions strong, but hopefully look past to see that those opinions are dynamic and open to change.

Illuminatis Trilogy, Ethical Slut, Principia Discordia, Leaves of Grass, House of Leaves Discworld, Roadside Attraction, Jitterbug Perfume, Stranger in a Strange Land, Nueromancer.

Graphic Novels/Comics: Blankets, Watchmen, Astro City, Ghost World, American Splendor, Fables, Understanding Comics, Sordid City Blues, Dykes to Watch Out For]], [100 Bullets.

Burn Notice

Music: Weird Al, King Missle, Grateful Dead, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Bob Marley, Peter Paul And Mary, Asylum Street Spankers,

Food: I have only disovered how joyous food can be in the last 10 years. I still seek and explore.

Honey pineapple chicken, Pork port and pears, sushi, seafood when on the coast, exotic foods of all sorts and new experiences waiting to be had.

My brain goes all over the map. Sometimes it's politics and the state of the world. Other times it's butter or Godzilla films. I never know what I'll be thinking about from one moment to the next. I live for chaos. Hail Eris!

Usually hanging out with my freinds, playing board games or watching movies, or whatever the 'crowd' is in the mood for. I'm a fairly social animal, though sometimes it's just one or two of us. I am happy in what I do.
I sometimes allow myself ruts that I would also happily break. I seek the balance between adventure and comfort. I have no fear of trying that which is new, but sometimes it easy to default to that which I know I enjoy.
I am happy where I am, but I also seek growth.
I want to get out, meet more people. But to do what?

That there is not much I won't admit too? Ask and I shall answer, but I shall not burden you with the inner secrets of my soul unless you dare ask for them. And even then one must be specific. What is it you wish me to admit?

If you are even considering it, do it! We are who we meet, who we choose to share with. I have made great freinds in the past by a casual comment on a bus, or by daring to ask a stranger what they thought of the decor. Why should online be any different really? I'd love to get to know you. Maybe I'll learn something.
I have a great many freinds, but I do not believe you can have too many. I want to know who you are, why you are reading this, and what your place is in this world, or perhaps in my world. Are we to remain distant strangers, or will we become fast friends? Or slow freinds? Or will we clash and seperate quickly revealing our own limitations to ourselves?
