Most people exist, that is all.” ― Oscar Wilde

I am a spontaneous traveler. If I am in the mood for an adventure, I might call you up at 10 o'clock at night and try to talk you into a road trip the next day, with each destination decided by the flip of a coin.

I am the kind of guy that likes to enjoy the scent of flowers int the air, to feel the sun upon my brow, and to listen to the birds sing. I have traveled all over this world of ours, and I have found the only difference between people is their cuisine.

I enjoy all sorts of music, but I like Jazz the best. My favorite groups are Acoustic Ladyland, Jamie Cullum, Everything But The Girl, and Swingout Sister.

Sometimes, I like to brew a nice hot cup of tea, put on some Joe Pass, and just watch the moon from my window. It helps me remember how unimportant things can be in the larger scheme of things. Too often, I have found myself not realizing when I am having a perfect moment till it has past. Sometimes it is the little things in life that can make bad day, good.

I also love to write. I tend to write about social issues,religious perspectives, and weird information. I find it funny that some think my writings are controversial because if news was not controversial, it would not be news.

My ultimate goal in writing is just to challenge people to open their mind and their hearts to understand one simple fact. That personal point of view is very different between people, regardless if they agree or disagree with each other. Debate has nothing to do with the facts, and everything to do with intention.

I know you are probably used to how men are here in Maine,

but I am not a Maine Man.

While your men were playing football and looking at Playboy,

I was fencing (Foil, Epee, and Sabre, yes I mean swords) and looking at Popular Mechanics.

While your men were going camping and getting drunk in your beautiful and mysterious Forests,

I was picking up garbage in my Desert, eating cat tails with mutton, and sleeping under the stars.

I have been described as someone with a sense of class, without coming across as judgemental or snobbish. I can debate with the best. I have a sense of confidence and ability that puts "Doctors To Shame," a quote from a friend.

Speaking of Doctor's, I love Doctor Who, Blake 7, Are You Being Served. I love Stephen R. Donaldson because of the condition Thomas Covenant was put in. I love Pierce Anthony for the moral lessons in his work. Influential writers to me were, L. Trotsky, V. Lenin, F. Dostoyevsky, D. Adams

(Yes, I put Douglas Adams in this list)
