| Many of you have commented after meeting me or seeing me on my webcam that I am always smiling and laughing. This section is here to explain my bubbly and even giddy personality to the best of my ability. I hope that this journey into my psyche rubs off a little and puts a smile on your face. After some serious depression before high school, I learned that no matter how bad a situation is, it does come to an end and it is never a reason to end one's life. High school brought two new joys to my life, band and theater. Band allowed me to excel in a subject that was more than just rote learning, it was an expression of myself in sound. Theater was a similar experience. It put me in characters that were sometimes completely unlike myself, forcing me to see things from other points of view. I learned to speak confidently in front of complete strangers, and I learned that wearing a Pink Panther bedsheet as a toga can be truly funny. College brought about many more joys to my life. Through the marching band, I was able to travel all over the country, including trips to four bowl games. The friends I made in my time there were diverse and wonderful people. I often walked along Lake Mendota, watched the people on State Street and sat on Bascom Hill, all the time thinking about life and my place in the world. That soul searching brought about quite a few changes for me. I switched majors from mechanical engineering to music history (finally following my passion), I moved from the dorms into an apartment with two good friends (independent living at last), and I came out of the closet (accepting myself for who I was and still am.) Coming out was an incredibly huge accomplishment in my life. Aside from dealing with a fiance, family, and friends, I had to explore an entirely new social scene. I was a 22 year old virgin who hadn't been on the dating scene in nearly 6 years, not to even mention the gay dating scene! Sure, I made some mistakes along the way, but I was determined to learn from every mistake. The lessons I learned the hard way about life in the gay community could easily be a book, but it took a book to teach me one of the biggest lessons. Finding the Boyfriend Within. A simple title for a book, but a schooling in the art of self-evaluation. The best nugget from the book stated that no person is ready for a relationship until they ensure they alone possess the characteristics they look for in a fulfilling partner. It made me look at why I was attracted to certain people and what traits I thought a guy needed to be a great boyfriend. I made a full effort to re-focus my life. Over time, I became my own best boyfriend, finding time alone just as rewarding as time with a boyfriend. I never felt worse off to be single. From there, I was able to treat boyfriends better, making them the icing on my own completed cake. All in all, I enjoy looking at the details in life. Often times, it is the smallest detail that makes the biggest difference. To smile and laugh through life is a great gift, and I am always happy to share! |

| Driving mishaps: I have been lucky in life when it comes to driving. My first accident was weather related. I was 16 and lost control of my parents car when driving over an icy bridge going only 5 mph. The car did a 540 and went backwards over a high curb just at the end of the bridge. I missed many other cars, as well as a very cold river. When the police came to assess the situation, their squad also slipped on the ice and nearly hit my parents car. My other accident happened after my brother's wedding reception. He asked me to drive his stick shift supped up Jeep back to his place. I was on my way back to sober at that point, and I'm horrible at driving stick shift. I somehow had the Jeep in reverse when I started it, and it lunged back, rolling onto the hood of a Corvette parked right behind it. As my luck would have it, the cop was parked 2 cars ahead. Miraculously, I ended up with just a ticket for improper backing, and the owner of the Corvette never came after me to pay for repairs. Engagements: Believe it or not, I have been engaged twice in my life so far. The first was to my high school girlfriend. We started dating my Junior year. I proposed in August of 2003 after a fun-filled day at the state fair, capped off by a concert by one of her favorite artists, Michael Bolton. We remained engaged for 2 more years, waiting until we finished college to get married. However, after realizing I was gay, I ended the relationship. She never spoke to me again and has since married a firefighter. My other engagement was to another guy. We met online one night, talked for hours, then ended up meeting that weekend. There were instant sparks. Only a few weeks later, he came to my apartment for Valentines with a bottle of champagne and a ring. I accepted his proposal, and for several months, our relationship was incredible. Unfortunately, after a trip he took to Gay Days at Disney, he never returned any of my calls. I ran into him at a club in Milwaukee a few months later. He finally told me he wasn't ready for that deep of a relationship. (Translation: He got lucky with someone else at Disney.) He ended up moving out west and throwing his naked self on a pay porn site, but not very successfully. Celebrity sightings: I have had the privilege of meeting a few celebrities in my days. I met Cindy Crawford on campus during a children's cancer fundraiser, William Shatner at the 1994 Rose Bowl, Chastity Bono at a Milwaukee AIDS Walk, Tom Wopat (Dukes of Hazzard) at a UW Varsity Band concert, and Ashley Judd at Barnes & Noble back when I worked there. Meals have also provided a few sightings. The late Chris Farley ate 2 tables away from me at the Michigan Ave. Cheesecake Factory in Chicago, Steve Forbes (former presidential candidate) enjoyed his coffee at the table next to me at an Atlanta airport Starbucks, and Eartha Kitt enjoyed a cocktail with a friend at the hotel bar in the Century City hotel I stayed at during my last trip to L.A. |
