Hey guys I live alone, am a 61 year old man. I’m a Canadian Citizen and was born and t Resident in the US, I only retain ed hotmy Canadian citizenship and passport. I tried became ill (chronically) several years ago and was no longer able to work therefore I live in Guadalajara and comfortably. I had a long and successful hotel career in executive management in a variety of roles. My favorite thing to do is to travel when I can nothing. I find more fascinating or educational for that matter and the people that you meet are just unbelievable when I’m at home I live a very quiet life and so I enjoy getting to know others on sites like this Building relationships friends on the web. I’ve known my entire life as early as kindergarten that I was a gay but I had an even more powerful draw to have a family, to have a child so I put every effort I could into denying who I really was for many many years so you could say I was very late to the party about 53 when I came out although that’s not entirely true cause my entire life and everybody I knew, including my wife, knew I was gay anyway so but at 53 was the first time I actually shared my truth with others. I had a surprisingly successful 16 year long marriage and I have a beautiful, successful wonderful 21-year-old son. Unfortunately, when I was making these decisions that were no choices for gay people we had no legal rights or protections, and certainly would never be able to adopt children. And then, of course, there was the horrible plague of aids too very consequential, and I iconic events of my generation, and so I forced myself to deny who I really was in order to have something that I also really wanted but wouldn’t have been able to have. So it was my choice and I made it otherwise I have a very good life here in Mexico and many interest. I’m thinking of writing a novel, kind of a memoir, if I can as a normal regular person call it a memoir, but of course I can and I think it would be a healthy thing to do to get my life journey down on paper, even if it doesn’t become a book to express myself with humor, although there certainly wasn’t always humor when I was younger, but I do and I say this because everyone has told me so have an extraordinary sense of humor, and I can be happier to hear that I love to laugh and even more so I love to make others laugh. I can make somebody laugh until they cry, and depending on what age group are in, and how many children they’ve had sometimes even pee , I’ll know that. Yes I guess I do have a good sense of humor and what great that is anyway, I’ve gone long enough. I look forward to getting to know some of you and hearing about you even though I talked for a while here I do actually prefer to listen to speak and I’m actually very shy I don’t like parties I never have large groups of gatherings, make me break out and sweat. I’d never know what to say, and I’d always try to figure out a way to not go or participate yet here I am an extraordinarily social person, but mainly due to the type of career that I had , and for those of you yes as a Canadian I do say sorry a lot for some reason we have to we have to take responsibility. It’s almost like we don’t want somebody else to be embarrassed. We want to take the fall for them because somehow everybody likes us do you get what I’m saying and generally very kind people my ex-wife thinks that we are very bland eaters. I guess we got that from the way the UK used to be. They certainly aren’t that way now but yes, I guess we are pot roast on the weekends and we follow rules just to finish up this war in peace introduction. I was at a wedding in Toronto and my fiancé at the time we became my wife was with us and she was American. It was 3 AM in the morning and we came to a big intersection not a car in sight in any direction I think most everyone was asleep , so part of the group stood at the curb, waiting for the do not walk, sign to change and give us permission to cross the street. My ex-wife being the only American in the group just automatically started crossing the street not realizing that she was the only one, and when she said, and she saw the absolute lunacy of the rest of us Canadians following the law she absolutely just dropped dead laughing so hard she had children yet so she didn’t pee herself. Anyway, thanks for having me to the party. These are easier because you’re a little bit more anonymous and I look forward to getting to know some of you and I don’t usually talk as much, but when you live alone, sometimes you do .
