I used to think I was strange until I realized that there are no lifestyles that could actually be called "strange," for all of us are strange in some way. And, for me, it's all about the time I caught myself staring at the "normal" people from a distance, wondering what they were doing--realizing, all at once, that they were, in fact, doing nothing other than wondering what I was doing wondering about them. It seems that we have to first separate ourselves from others in order to see them as different or strange. Who is really an outsider then, anyway? No one.

I am currently spending most of my time working, attempting to gain back a semblance of security and support since leaving University in 2003. I have several long term goals: (1) Develop Browser-Based Medical Claims Software, (2) learn Spyce (Python Server Pages), (3) publish "Young Heroes" a Tri-Stat dX role-playing game through Guardians of Order's dx system, (4) finish "Dante's Dissent," my first novel and "Wild Men," a Lovecraftian short story about ignorance and the bigfoot mythos. I'm trying not to weight myself down with too many goals, but these are a good place to start.

Using my imagination to create fiction/games/characters that are consistent and believable. The stories I create are engaging and involved. I am also really good at any and all creative endeavors.

People usually notice my eyes (physical trait) and my soft demeanor (metaphysical trait). I am a very warm and charismatic person. The first things people usually notice about me are also the things people notice about me on a consistent basis. I do not present a false persona to the world. What you see is what you get.

My stories. I am always thinking about distant lands and magical realms where physics is merely a guideline. My imagination is quite active; it stays with we while I work, churning and turning over ideas in my mind until I have a polished, workable idea. I also spend a lot of time thinking about my life, my inner states of being, and my superego-challenges. Other interests: Horror, Individualism, freedom, beauty, truth, and love.

Spending time with one or two friends within an intimate setting. I rather enjoy the company of easy-going people who enjoy simple pleasure and company.

I am willing to admit much, since I do not believe an individual should live life in fear of rejection by others. That said, I believe the most important thing to mention would have to be the fact that I identify as "Gay" but I'm not Gay. Don't get me wrong, men are damn hot! and I'd gladly go into a long/short-term relationship with one in a heartbeat. It's just that I don't consider myself a "gay person" in that I act independent of gay stereotypes. I also live my life free of the social expectations associated with "being gay." As far as I'm concerned, I simply love men. It isn't more or less complicated than that. Another reason why I mention this is because I have been known to love women as well and sometimes just as deeply as the love I show men. As such, I use the identity of "Gay" as an identity that best matches the way I live my life.

You should message me if you want to. Really, I have no control over whether or not you will message me. Go ahead, we'll talk. Or don't, and we wont. It's up to you.
