I'm pretty happy with my life -

I quote Kevin Smith movies and John Hughes 80's coming-of-age flicks, know far too much about comic book superheroes, and enjoy board games. I listen to way too much 80's music.

I'm finally able to travel more, and I intend to take advantage of it.

I am a Christian, but I am also a Buddhist - and no, the two are not diametrically opposed.

UPDATE: China bound! Check my Journal!

I'm headed to the People's Republic to teach English as a Foreign Language. The pay is not great, but it's cheap to live there, and they provide the apartment, utilities, etc. I am really excited about this. This may lead to more travels, and hopefully I will get a book written about it.

Plus - international incident alert! My pal and I plan to toss Frisbees across the border into North Korea - take THAT, Kim Jong-Il!

I also write a bit, and consider myself a writer - it's the one career you can have and not actually have to produce. I'm also co-authoring/ghostwriting a book with my landlord, and hammering out a screenplay treatment about an overlooked Revolutionary War hero.

Recently, I discovered a talent for painting, and actually have two commissions in the pipeline - I'm as surprised as anyone about that... I am fascinated by Tibetan mandalas and enjoy creating my own - in a more permanent medium.

I'm also slaying some old demons, and learning to be an individual - not defined by who I am with or what I do for a living.

It would be nice to make some friends in a group setting, too. Book club, learning another language, board games. Still, I enjoy the one-on-one interaction, too.

I'm a complete comic book geek- I know Clark Kent's Metropolis street address, and can untangle the multiverse with the best of them (If you realize we live on Earth-Prime, I think we should meet!)

Singing, writing, painting, cynical observations, kissing...and I am extremely good at oral sex.

and this

LOLcats

Anarchy: "A rational anarchist believes that concepts such as 'state' and 'society' and 'government' have no existence save as physically exemplified in the acts of self- responsible individuals. He believes that it is impossible to shift blame, share blame, distribute blame . . . as blame, guilt, responsibility are matters taking place inside human beings singly and nowhere else . But being rational, he knows that not all individuals hold his evaluations, so he tried to live perfectly in an imperfect world . . . aware that his effort will be less than perfect yet undismayed by self-knowledge of self-failure." --Bernardo de la Paz, The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress,

Also, the golden ratio (1.618033) and Fibonacci numbers - and their relation to art, architecture, nature and spirituality ...

Well, all that, but mostly sex

doing something atypical.

Who the hell am I kidding, I am usually in bed by 10 reading.

I'm going to change that starting NOW...

I've had two pieces of erotica purchased and published online - and each under a female pseudonym.

I am quite the cunning linguist, and I am a gentleman - the lady ALWAYS comes first

PLEASE message me if... - you understand why a shaggy-dog "I'm my own grandpa" joke is one of the greatest sci-fi novels ever - you consider yourself a Browncoat and screamed when they killed Wash - you identify with "Ace" Rimmer more than his holographic counterpart - you have ever dreamt of exploring Gormenghast - You are a female with a boundless imagination and an unquenchable libido. - You recognize the virtues of DC over Marvel. - You want to hang out, chat, or just make a new friend.
