I find I have a lot of hobbies, but none than are really constructive and life enriching..but I like them just fine, so that`s all that really matters, isn`t it? So here''s the Classified Ad bit: In my spare time I enjoy learning how to use f*cking $#@* Photoshop...It''s been 3 goddamn years and I still haven''t mastered it. I''m also a bit of an obsessed part-time thrill-seeker, so whenever I can I like to jump out of planes, or off of bridges, or even ride roller coasters till I puke (okay, I haven''t puked yet...but somedy I might).
Music I Like:
I like absolutley everything, which drives anybody who is unfortunate enough to listen to the 'shuffle' on my iPod to insanity. I have just as many moods as there are music genres out there, so why limit yourself to just one or two favorites? I do, however, find that I listen to an unnatural amount of Funk and R&B so that I can sing into my hairbrush in front of the mirror when no one is looking. Did I mention that I was gay.
Films I Like:
Well, okay, this is where you can decide if I am a legitimate freak or a geek. My favorite film is still Star Wars (Hell, I can still stand up proudly and admit it) and just about any movie about comic book characters. I like the movie 'Hostel' (cause I'm a real sick fucker deep down), 'The Count of Monte Cristo' (cause there ain't no better revenge movie ever made and there never will be), 'La Reine Margot' (cause it has all that torturous bloodshed, religious damnation and dirty back alley sex that a good historical movie needs), & 'The Hunger' (just cause I like watching Catherine Deneuve and Susan Sarandon lez out - I must have a straight gene in me somewhere)
Literature I Like:
Books, Books, Books...I love books, but who has any bloody time to read the fuckers? (I know, I know - I can hear my mother saying it now, "You have to make time") So, when I can 'make' the time I like to read history books. The last one I read was about the life of Catherine de Medici. Man, she was a bitch, but a powerful one. At one time her entire family sat on all the European royal thrones at the same time. And to think she started life as the daughter of a Venician banker. If you like loads of palace intrigue, a good poisoning here and there, sex between siblings, and heretics being burned at the stake you'll simply adore her biography. Pick it up in most fine booksellers.
I also like comic books, and just so you realize that I am still a child stuck in a man's body, I pop bubbles with my gum while I read them. I'm more of a DC fan than Marvel, but hey, at the end of the day they all turn me on.
Currently on my bedside table you would find 'Catch 22' by Joseph Heller.
TV Shows I Like:
Ummm....let's see. Dynasty and Dallas will always remain favorites of mine, but I guess I am showing my age there. So, let's see...I like Smallville (though it's getting rather tired...boy, I hope that Lana Lang whore is dead). I also like Prison Break, Heroes, Supernatural, and I'm just getting into Dirt, which could prove to be my next big fav if they keep it dirty and don't lose their grip.
I also love Exreme Make-Over...yes, even the Home Edition. But I only cry cause my friends do and nobody should be expected to cry alone. You see what a nice guy I am.
The sea is dangerous and its storms terrible, but these obstacles have never been sufficient reason to remain ashore... Unlike the mediocre, intrepid spirits seek victory over those things that seem impossible... It is with an iron will that they embark on the most daring of all endeavors... to meet the shadowy future without fear and conquer the unknown. ~ Ferdinand Magellan
I know its cliche to open a profile with a quote, but the more I try to sum myself up with a few colorful adjectives and a witty quip I always end up thinking of this particular statement you see above by the first man to circumnavigate the globe by ship. I currently work on a luxury yacht as a Chief Purser (the man with all the money onboard), but the sea didn't call me to her until I was over 30 years old, and so it is at this age I truly felt I was reborn. However, I wish I had been introduced to this quote a lot sooner in my life as it is truly my motto and may have encouraged me to leave my life on land behind at an earlier age. If you do anything in your life, anything at all worthy of achievement and pride....travel, travel, travel. Before your mind gets cannibalized by endless commercialization, propaganda and censorship, open your front door and see the world past the fence at the end of your lawn (that is...if you have a lawn). This planet of ours is more wondrous, more magnificent, and more breathtakingly awesome than any book, factory, or theme park could ever reproduce...please go out and discover it for yourself. There is no better way to remove prejudice and biased views....no better way to see the world and its remarkable people and cultures as they were meant to be seen...by the naked eye. We are truly 'One World - One People', but don't take my word for it. Go out and discover this truth for yourself.
About me - (here is the blah blah). I am as mature and sophisticated as much as I am in need of psychiatric care. I'm an eternal boy-at-heart (I still read comics and blow bubbles with my chewing gum). I am completely spontaneous and have a cracking sense of humour - If I couldn't laugh at least once a day my life would not be worth living. I tend to measure a person's worth in their ability to laugh at themselves. If you can laugh with me and make me laugh then we will get along just fine. C'mon, life is actually very funny!
Since I work at sea for most of the year I don't have much time for a relationship, (nor am I looking for one - it would have to be the most amazing man to pull me from my life at sea. Is there any man alive who can compete with Poseidon?), but I love meeting guys from around the world, especially, but not limited to, men who are bald/cropped, ruggedly handsome and around my own age.
A WORD ABOUT LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS - I seem to be getting a lot of e-mails from guys who express their pity in that I am unable to share my life experiences with a boyfriend or significant other, and that they find it the greatest of all tragedies. One DList member even went so far to say that all I would have when I am old and alone is the memories of my travels. Part of me would just like to gently ignore the ignorant, but the other side compels me to express my side of the story. I know a lot of people on this great planet of ours feel their self-worth is dependent on the love and acceptance of another. Others are searching endlessly for a partner, lover, soul mate - forever in endless gloom in not finding THE ONE. Call me selfish, but I accept and action each day of my life as it comes and goes without regret, never craving or wanting for anything. I tend to live in the now and not locked away in the past or thirsting for the future. I enjoy life's ups and downs as a blessing and a learning experience. I know I am loved as I love others in my life. I am not seeking a relationship because that is not where I am at in my life right now. Should that time appear I will accept it as any other chapter. I'm getting to know myself more and more each day, even at 38, and I am fulfilled with the experiences I have encountered on my own. I do not feel a void of loneliness- on the contrary, I feel the unbearable lightness of being.
That all being said I must point out that I was born tragically without the Jane Seymour gene that most gay men have. I am of course referring to the horrifically typecast romance genre actress. It can never be said that I am a "hopeless romantic", unless you mean that I am hopeless at romance. I am fiercely independent, I like getting my own way, I am completely crap at compromise, I can't stand having to answer to someone when I stay out late, I always forget birthdays and special occasions, I constantly say the wrong thing, I am a tireless cynic, I have to remind myself to pay people compliments, I enjoy being a hermit for a month and then a social butterfly the next, I change my opinions like the changing of the tides, I walk away from conflict, I never argue, I play the devil's advocate more than the advocate, and I do everything spur of the moment without warning or permission. It is for these traits, and I can assure you the ex-boyfriends from my few but disastrous relationships could add more, that I am not in a relationship. I'm not under the false impression that there is a man out there who can change me, for why would anyone want to change their own human nature? It is for the simple fact that I could never subject another human being to the trauma of being my partner.....it's not sad, but it is true.
So I think that's about it for me....
Motto: "Don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things"
