I've decided that the singer for Interpol has the sexiest voice I've heard in years. Good God when I play a song by them I almost fucking wet myself. For real. Other music? My Chemical Romance honestly makes me fucking cream myself. The music is so fucking insanely hot and vicious, it slays me. .

PERSONAL INFORMATION:
I'm 34 and I've officially been vegetarian or vegan longer than I was a meat eater. That's amazing to me! Pat myself on the back...
Still straight-edge! At times I feel like a loser because I'm not vegan any longer. I spent almost a decade being vegan and that is a great accomplishment in my eyes. I am still very committed to animal rights and activism. It's still not beyond me to clock an old bitch in a fur coat or kill her child in retaliation. Kidding. Straight-Edge is still a huge part of who I am and how I view the world. It's hands down the most important belief I have in life and a conviction I am proud to display and promote.
If anyone wonders how I got to Boston... I moved to Boston for Film school in '97. I was living in North Carolina for a while before that - which I loved. I met some amazing people and it was great to become part of the sXe scene down there as well. I moved to NC after a particularly harsh blizzard of a winter while living in Buffalo. Some might say I was stalking Snapcase and the beauty that be Bob Whiteside while working at Kinko's (like every self respecting early 90's hardcore kid) but I say I was accepted to school, moved, and then decided to not go. Originally I'm from Syracuse where I am sure I had a fun if not semi-incriminating past.
I'm one of the Managing Directors of The Independent Film Festival of Boston (entering our 6th year). This past year we had about 30,000 people view our year long labor of love and pain. It's incredibly fun and sick with the hard work. Hopefully this year we'll continue to grow. Our festival runs April 23-29, 2008.
Check out our monthly screening series in the off months. This year we've had early previews of Margot at the Wedding, No Country For Old Men, Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, Manda Bala, Rocket Science, Rescue Dawn and more.
For the past few years I've been a non-profit fundraising fool. I've participated in multiple long distance AIDS Rides and have helped raise over $14,000 for local and national AIDS organizations. I've volunteered and organized events to help raise not only money but awareness for this cause. 2008 I'll be riding (once again) from Gettysburg to NYC. If you'd like to sponsor me, let me know. I'll have a link up soon to sponsor my gay ass!
Who I'd like to meet: Oprah so I could slap her stupid fat face; Mariah Carey, Hilary Duff, and Britney Spears so I could put them on a bus and drive it off the edge of a cliff instantly killing them all and ending the madness that is their horrible music!
You guys are located in Boston. That's excellent. I go to school here in Boston...Emerson College. Yay for Boston! And I think I love you just for getting to meet Lee Pace! :) Have a great day!
