Mmm... what to say here... well, I've always liked shiny things and bacon and I like the phrases 'Pardon our mess. We are working to improve' and 'Free shipping'. Convertible anything, too. Fisker Karma convertible omg rockin'
I like my Macbook, dog, spellcheck and niece and nephews a lot, too. Other than those things, I like cooking and having friends around, traveling - wanna take a trip to India and Sri Lanka with the hope to see a color that I have never seen before. Rio Carnival, Machu Picchu, Galapagos.... Like shopping in general, fix-it, remodel, and projects in and outside the house.
Am kind of a gear head at work but also at home; like cars - have a Mustang convertible with Flowmaster and racing air filter; the wand of power. Would ove to get the new 2010 model but will probably get something German this next go around, something highly likely to be very impractical :)
Oh, I really like how my dog cries for my yogurt cup while I eat it - funny. Parents had 3 kids; 1 of eac
Music I Like:
The Presets and am on a major Tool kick now. Their CD's been the only one in the car for over a year now :) Don't know how I missed them - like how they unify musical experimentation, visual arts and a message of personal evolution. The Presets have become a fave, too.
Honestly, I like all kinds of music to include hip-hop, classical, house music, but usually listen to alternative rock or rock; everything but country. I simply CANNOT do country.
Films I Like:
Suspense/action/thriller films and sci fi - boy films, I guess. Some really great foreign films, too.
Shawshank Redemption
Thelma and Louise
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Star Wars
Auntie Mame
Evil Under the Sun
XXX with Vin Diesel
The Fugitive
The Matrix
Spiderman - where's MY Spiderman?
Office Space
What Lies Beneath
Flight Plan
Out of Africa
Dare - gay-themed short film by Adam Salky
Capote's A Christmas Memory
Foreign lineup:
Au Revoir Les Enfants by Louis Malle
The Lover by Jean-Jacques Annaud
Raise the Red Lantern by Zhang Yimou
Les Triplettes de Belleville by Sylvain Chomet
El Norte by Gregory Nava
Literature I Like:
Fiction, without doubt
Willa Cather's 'Neighbor Rosicky' is my fave short story.
'Regular Flat Top' by J.G. Hayes. Found that one in 'Men on Men 2000: Best Gay Fiction for the Millenium.'
Anne Rice's Vampire series gave me such good dreams - have 1st editions of all of them except the first 3.
Usually read magazines, subscribe to 4, Newsweek is 1 of them.
TV Shows I Like:
Don't watch much TV though it's always on in the background. Have gotten hooked on MMA though. Tap Out! The Office, Globe Trekker, still like to watch Will & Grace, Brit Com Are You Being Served, Sat. Night Live, Antiques Roadshow is interesting - am I becoming like my parents? Yikes! Almost forgot: Pimp My Ride, too - lol
Sup DList?
Some words from your sponsor....
Finally! Something PG-rated for gays! I very much like and admire the creativity and individuality found on this web site - the eye candy is just a total bonus. Has anybody figured out what 'I'm into you anonymous' is all about? Seems a mystery to me.... My impression is that DList is moving towards something you can be proud to show your mother or girlfriends from high school days though something tells me those scenarios seldom happen. Love to DList as it evolves....
On a brighter note, moved to Georgia last fall from 4 years in NYC for a job and a major quality of life change. Family's down this way but not too close :) Was relieved to get out of NYC. Fun place to visit though. Be sure to bring $$ and patience when you go. Everything i owned went down 3 flights of stairs ugh. Seemed exciting to move there though. I still can't believe that I lived there. It's crazy and exciting and aggravating and wonderful all at the same time, full tilt. It's actually fun to drive there 'cause you get to use pretty much all your own favorite rules - everybody else does. It's scary at first but then it's fun. You get to perfect your jaywalking skills there, too, with glee. It took me a couple of years before I tried it myself and now I do it at every opportunity that presents. Need to populate my girl and guy gangs all over again - sux. I miss all my homies! My love to The Bronx!
Politics here are a bit different than what I am accustomed to, among other things - gay guys named Bubba or Scooter that drive full-sized V8 trucks with mud on them but it's going to be okay - I think. It really hit me that I was in another world when I stopped at a roadside stand to buy some homegrown vegetables and the lady was selling moonshine on the side - seemed to have been her most popular product; maybe because of the free samples. It was surreal to experience but it confirmed I was no longer north of the Mason-Dixon Line. She called it 'cider' just like Granny did on Beverly Hillbillies hahahaha. Another good one: Went to a chain grocery store and saw turtle meat (not a typo) in the meat case. I asked the butcher what kind of turtle it was and he said 'I recon it's the kind that couldn't run too fast.' OMG! True story! Who the Hell eats turtle meat? I guess Bubba and Scooter - I just hope they find each other.
Was a bit confused when I first moved down here - saw a lot of trucks with a falcon symbol for the front license plate so I simply assumed that everyone was pledging allegience to Falcon XXX Studios so you can imagine my dismay when I found out a few weeks later that it represented the Atlanta Falcons football team. I guess I play with different kinda balls - hahaha. Hope the guys didn't mind the wave and the smile....
Unlike NY, entertainment here is way cheap - you can see local woman's roller derby leagues Sirens vs. Regulators for only $10! That's a lot of value to see miniskirts, elbows and blood all in the same event! Some of them have really great names like 'Sandra Day O'Clobber', 'Babe Ruthless' and 'Punky Bruiser'. One of the women said 'Roller derby is what keeps me going'. Gotta remember to check that out. When in Rome.... They have grits here, too. The good kind - stone ground. For those of you not familiar with that food, grits are a porridge made from corn but unlike other hot cereals, for example, oatmeal or cream of wheat, which are typically sweetened with sugar and flavored with cream, grits are salted and buttered and eaten as a side dish for breakfast - yummy! Oh, I almost forgot! The words 'double-wide' do not necessarily refer to rolling papers but also to a type of dwelling that apparently attracts tornados and hurricanes. They gotta lotta bugs here, too. So many that it sounds like aliens are landing or like a boiler is going to explode though maybe the sound is coming from that nuclear power plant that I heard is over in SC - I'm not sure. I've seen a few bugs here that I'm certain are undiscovered species; one so large my dog barked at it. For evidence, I try to take pictures of them to share with my coworkers. I try to put my shoe in the photo for size perspective and one of them tried to attack my shoe! Careful! Apparently, they get really brave or hungry when they get so large - yuck.
Speaking of bugs... just set up an awesome aquarium and bought some really cool fish for it: 'Thai yellow', 'Brilliant Blue Diamond' and 'Blue Snakeskin' Discus fish - the king of fishes! They're awesome but I gotta feed them bugs - gross barf me out - but I guess you don't put a piece of lettuce on a hook to catch a fish, right? Spent way too much money on a really awesome-looking algae eater catfish-kinda guy (gal?) for the tank that hides all day!!! Maybe he'll overcome his shyness - i hope so. He's called 'flash or emperor pleco' if you wanna Google to see what he looks like. Love my fishes!
On another note, created the DList group 'tattooed men' for men with tattoos and their admirers. If that kinda thing floats your boat, check it out. If you have a awesome tat or a pic of one, please post it. I've uploaded some faves.
Was recently told that if I sang that I'd sound like James Morrison and somebody else mentioned that I look like MMA fighter George St. Pierre though he's got 40 lbs. on me and he's ripped. Maybe the guys that said that just wanted to get in my pants - hahaha
My dog's a good cuddler but have been thinking that i want/need/am ready for a BF/LTR after a long hiatus in the boyfriend dept. Yeah. Somebody to be my stuff. I don't wanna come home anymore to find my house is dark and my pots are cold. Am gonna try real hard this next go around to avoid another favorite mistake. Anybody that's got a nice smile and can make me laugh is doing really great in my book. Somebody with some drive, too, and otherwise has their act together at whatever level they operate on and it's good to go. Just smile and the spell is cast. It's so very, very simple. Be aware that qualified applicants will be in charge of feeding bugs to fishes, among other tasks :) Just thought I'd make that part clear in advance and in writing hahahaha.
On another note, if you have no intention of communicating with me then I ask that you not friend request me - am not really into having 5,000 friends and the whole window dressing thing. Seems that there should be more to friendship than clicking the accept button - at least for me it is. An email or 2 is sufficient. All that said, if you friend request me, I'll probably click accept unless your profile pic or screen name offends me.
If you like the vibe to my profile or wanna know anything else about me, don't be scared to hit me up, guys! These Georgia/South Carolina boys ain't been so welcoming! What's the worst that could happen? You send somebody an email? I'm often on DList listening to other's playlists. Some of them are awesome!!!
Some things that I enjoy:
