About Me

People say I'm:

honest, a good listener, naive, too cerebral, gay, cute, funny, sarcastic, a pessimist, too trusting, caring, a great friend, selfish, giving, caring, cuddly, generous, incomprehensible, indescribable, and someone they can't really figure out.
Describe Yourself:

I'm a 30-something year old SINGLE gay man living in Westchester County, NY. I've been couch hopping with various friends for nearly two years now, waiting on my housing to come through. Technically, I'm homeless, although Westchester County's social services department doesn't define me as being such. But I'm (hopefully) about to get my housing--yay--in Yonkers (UGH!)!

I like politics (I'm a Republican), reading, intelligent conversation, music, the arts, and meeting new, intelligent, compassionate people (on or off-line).

Friends, Colleagues, Tea-drinkers, Cool Peeps, Income Opportunities, Snuggle-buddies, etc.

I'm open to whatever other possibilities are out there for me, in terms of people, places, things, events, organizations, aliens, planets, and what not. I'm ready to start Mars Colony, are you?

Thanks for the invitation! Glad to meet you.
Ironically, I was just at the Yolo County Superior Court on Monday for work. It's actually a very progressive court and it has won numerous awards for some innovative programs to improve services for families and children.
