關於我：
I am a 36 year old gay male - 5'8", blue eyes, brown hair. I built my own house in 1997 and I finished my degree from Indiana University in Biology and Mathematics in 2003. After working as a concrete finisher for a family-owned company for the past thirteen years, my career is currently following a new path. My interests are vast. However, I have decided to spend my life researching, teaching, and publishing in the fields of History or Rare Books and Manuscipt Studies. Given that fact, I am now pursuing the core course work that will allow me to potentially be a candidate for admission to the Masters Program in History or in the Rare Books and Manuscripts Program through the School of Library and Information Science at Indiana University. In addition, I am currently researching a book I hope to get published on the lost buildings of Indiana University-Bloomington. I travel a lot for research purposes, photography, and entertainment so I will be including details of many of my trips here on my blog. I have been in every state except Alaska, and have been in five foreign countries. I was a jazz, blues, and rock drummer for 10 years and played Classical piano for 13 years.
I enjoy people. I like learning from them and sharing times with them and having them do the same with me. I am guided by passion and I try to follow my heart. I am the first to admit I am not perfect (and laugh at myself), but I enjoy input from others to help me grow to be the best person I can be. All my life, I have been the kind of person who either does something in a big way, or not at all. When I am happy, I am HAPPY. When I am sad, I am SAD. When I am angry, I am ANGRY. When I love, I LOVE. It comes from the fact that I am fueled by a true passion for life. I could be viewed to be a tad eccentric but in fact, like everyone else, I am only in a pursuit of the things that mean ultimate happiness. Along this road through life, I have a belief that we must appreciate the little things and see beauty in them. Maybe true happiness is unachievable, but at least the journey will be enjoyable. I consider myself a spiritual person, but not a religious person. I believe strongly in life-long learning. Hence, I am an avid reader and personal researcher. As stated before, my interests include a wide variety of things - reading, learning, collecting old/historical/rare books, collecting the music of R&B/DooWop vocal groups from the origins of the 1930's and 40's up through the 1970's, among many other things. As far as friends go, I demand loyalty and honesty as well as a kind and understanding heart. However, the best way to my heart is, with confidence but not ego; with loyalty and honesty; by being 100% yourself; by treating me the way you want me to treat you. I don't like those who intentionally live by gay stereotypes. I also don't like those who try to avoid them at all costs. Like I said, be yourself, because I am definitely going to be myself - I gave up apologizing for myself the day I admitted and became ok with the fact that I am gay.
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. - Barack Obama
Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. I give you my heart felt Gratitude for the GIFT of your friendship.
Just stopping by to show some love to your page and wish you a happy thanksgiving... I also have seven new poems up... If you got the time check them out.
