Listen up D-listers! I am on here to materialize an identity I have neglected for far too long! I am Bi. A real Bi. None of this "cliche of the decade" shit where it seems just about every straight caucasian American male is "saying" they're Bi. I was in a serious relationship with a wonderful woman and right now I'm only interested in dating boys. I have yet to explore this side of myself and so I'm diving in. I don't do private pictures, I'm a gentleman. I do chat via IM and if you're lucky enough I do G-rated cam on Yahoo (mettlemod).
I will not be fake here. If you're real and genuine and I like you than I'm pretty much an open book. I'm on the lookout for that special guy and honesty is very important. Been there and done that as far as the whole "I'll just lie" thing goes. Live and learn, right? Basically, I'm nothing if not extremely patient and surprisingly genuine.
What can one say about oneself in a box? I've spent so much time trying to get outside of ALL boxes! Let's see...I'm a thinker. I like thinking. I think a lot. I think about everything. If you find me quiet and reserved it's because I am thinking. Deal with it. I am intelligent and I question and ponder and analyze everything life throws at me. Love it or hate it, I happen to love it. I have a very critical eye on the world at all times. Sometimes I'll share it with you and sometimes I won't. And, honestly, if you don't want to hear it when I do share it...well, fuck you too. I dig deep philosophical conversations every once in a while and I even enjoy sharing the fluff and nonsense of everyday life. I am an idealist a futurist and an Aquarian, a potentially insanity inducing combination. Too much for you? Well, then move right along because I don't have time for you either. I must be bought as is and that's all there is to it.
I love the arts. Design of all kinds, music, video games, movies, TV, plays, books, art, and anything else cultured and creative. Actually, video games are my passion. I have grand ambitions along that line. I also love writing; stories, poetry, wannabe songs...you name it. Yeah, sometimes I'm cheezy about it all but more often than not it is what helps me get thru each and every day. I'd like to find someone who can appreciate and accept that (as silly as a request as it may sound).
I am deeply connected with the Earth, spiritually and physically. I love being outdoors and doing outdoorsy things, e.g. connecting with nature and being as Green as I can possibly be. I have a secret (sshh!) crush on Al Gore. Save the Earth!
I love history. The only way to become better stewards of our world and society is to know the consequences and outcomes of our past. Open your eyes and pay attention you damn fools! Geeze.
I'm a tree hugger, I pray for rainy days, I love to people watch, I like the feeling of walking barefoot in the grass, I take pride in being extremely clean, I like cold sheets and waffle weave blankets, I'm obsessed with socks, I know every Alan Menken/Tim Rice era Disney song by heart and I'm not afraid to belt them out, I'm picky, red is my favorite color, I am a Sci-Fi geek, sometimes I snort when I laugh, I pick my nose, I burp out loud, I love being drunk (though I do keep it moderate), I am just like a woman when it comes to getting ready and I'm a whore for clothes and shoes, I talk to myself, I am obsessed with the internet, I love porn, I am disturbingly polite, I hate Lifetime movies, and I am a self-proclaimed weirdo.
All in all though, I "simply" strive to be a better person everyday. And if you can make me worship the very ground you walk on, then..."Oh the places we'll go!"

Leaving Pseudopia
The only way out is through.

It seems second nature for me to worry all the time.Maybe first nature actually. Apprehension and anxiety. Thinking way too much and not saying or doing enough. It is such bullshit. I am so tired of trying to deal with it that I have run out of ways of tryng to explain it.
It makes me morose and unhappy. More so than I have any right to be. I mean, everybody has some level of unhappiness in their life. Everyone is screwed up in some way. To err is to be human. Right? We all have our own issues. Everybody has something to conplain about.
I need to remind myself (more) that I have plenty to be happy about. I have myself, first and foremost, and my (believed) sanity. I have a family that loves me no matter what. I have a small handfull of friends that (I believe) except and appreciate me. I have a roommate who is quite possibly one of the most awesome people I’ve ever met. I have my freedom and my desires and wishes and goals. I have a life free of life threatening hardships. As far as I know I have my health. I have many many good things in my life to be thankful for and happy about.
No, I don’t have everything. No, I have not accomplished much of what I wanted to by my age. No, life isn’t perfect. No, everything does not go according to plan. No, I can’t and should not and will not except that falling is a means to judge myself. I ought to know better by now. I have certainly fallen enough, and continue to.
I’m alive. I can do. I can still try. And strive. I can do better. I have opportunity. There is hope. And possibility. Not all is lost.

- Who me? (5/7/09) [View | Hide]

This selective amnesia
Only remembering what I forgot
All the good things
Everything I liked a lot
Pieces of the person I used to be
Scattered in the winds
of my insecurities
My own fractured tales
The boy in the future
The boy in the bubble
The boy who was so sure
The boy who would go on
and on and on, on and on and on
Those rose colored glasses
Showing me the black and white
of all the masses
of everthing that mattered
Things to live for undieingly
Through thick or thin
The faith that tried me
The God that I asked about
Oh, He’s always been there
Waiting for me to believe
In myself
In something other than the past
The boy in the future
The boy in the bubble
The boy who was so sure
The boy who would go on
and on and on, to be
The man with the broken heart
The man who failed
The man with a new start
The man who knows he can go
on and on and on
on and on and on and on

UPDATE:
- I am Christian Andrew Jennings! The 1 and the only! (per DNA of course)
- I love people. If you can see past my quiet (e.g. shyness, insecurities, self-proclaimed short comings, overall social awkwardness) then I love you. Truly.
- I am very intelligent. No boasting or bragging here. I am definitely not one to do that. I just know. I read a lot from everywhere; books, newspaper, mags, online, TV. I like being informed.
- Thusly, I’m current. I’m mod. I’m a tortured artist. No, I’m an unproven artist. Even that? I’m an unfound artist. And not an artist of the “strictly an “artist” kind”. I’m an artist in the vein of a Renaissance Man; and I know that once I get into it I’m going to be fucking amazing at it.
- I’m an environmentalist, a Greeny, a die-hard free speech advocate, an extreme liberal, an almost socialist and almost communist should we figure out how to fairly and indiscriminately employ such ideas into the American dream since this democracy stuff doesn’t seem all it was cracked up to be, a sci-fi space loving pro-Mars-exploring enthusiast, but most importantly I am one who deep down believes that it is vitally imporatnt to the world as a community that we always live the truth no matter how detrimental it may be to our own selves.
- There’s more. For later.
Adendum: If you don’t know, look it up. Communism is NOT evil or bad or anything of the sort. It is the perception of it which has been tainted and slandered by corrupt dictators and, subsequently, democratic idealists such as The United States. Fundementally there is nothing evil or dastardly about communism. Communism is an idea, not a person. It can not be hated or feared. It is just as revisable and ammendable as our government. In no way am I stating that I am a communist or a socialist.

This ride has been, often, without me
accepting that I’m behind the wheel
in a race with too many rats
fears and frets I couldn’t always see
When I’m afraid it’s all to easy
to assume the auto-pilot is on
leading and guiding
to where I ought to be
After so many laps around the track
the day ages and the fog lifts
it becomes easier to look ahead
this drag is good, don’t look back
At any point there is a way out
doors and windows are cracked
the universe is in the breeze
I choose love, not doubt

I’ve been reading a lot over the past 6 months or so. I believe, in total, I have read 6 novels. Wow, a novel a month, that’s awesome! At least I think so. I’ve always wanted to be one of those people who are “readers”. Reading, no matter what, does make you smarter. Reading provides (especially introverts like myself) opportunities to experience new places and various thoughts of mind that might otherwise remain as unknown opportunities of expanding ones understanding of the world. For me personally reading is a way to surreptitiously have new adventures. Actually, I suppose that’s why anyone reads; for the adventure. Anyhow.
My favorite author, by far, is Kim Stanley Robinson. I first fell in love with his stories via his Mars trilogy: Red Mars, Green Mars, and Blue Mars. His talent for making his story’s characters immensely human, relatable, and real is in my opinion far beyond any other author I’ve yet read. Combined with his obvious love of any natural world, he manages to provide readers with the perfect palette for our mind’s eye to create vivid extremely detailed vistas. His stories always have current undertones and topics, especially his latest trilogy “Science in the Capital”.
A main source of inspiration for the characters in his latest trilogy is a website called emersonfortheday. It provides daily excerpts from Emerson’s journals. Although the site didn’t actually exist previous to Robinson’s trilogy, a thoughtful individual has made the site a reality. I am finding so much inspiration and wisdom from Emerson’s writings. If he has a contemporary I’d like to know. His love of nature and all that is our daily Earthly existence interacting (or avoiding, or destroying) with nature is truly thought provoking. It certainly makes me want to experience nature more. If only there wasn’t this damn human notion of “the world”.
