Hi, my name is Tim.
I'm just old enough to have seen the original trilogy in a theater for it's first run—back when we didn't know we were watching the fourth act. My childhood was marked with Star Wars action figures, the Muppets, Smurfs, oh and my favorite Wonder Woman doll.
I say this not only to set my age, but also to show I knew who I was when I was very young, even if I didn't quite understand it... A movie picture book from Star Wars was my favorite reading material back then. Inside was a full profile photo of Luke standing on the sands of Tattoine staring off at the setting binary suns. I could stare at that picture for hours, and probably did. Looking at him was powerful to me, it was complex, it was beautiful, but it was also very innocent.
Of course, as you might expect, I eventually figured from the world around me that I probably should not be doing that and so began a years-long struggle most of you could probably relate to. *I never went through school as the 'gay kid,' though, as I gave myself other dysfunctions that overshadowed that part of who I was.
But that's all the past now and life is much better, not perfect, just better. *I am who I am and would never want to be anything else. *I'm a tolerant person, but not of the nurture argument.
Who I am today... *I'm an artist, of the commercial nature. *I'm a news junkie, I can't not know what's happening in the world. I'm an Apple-centric dating back to the Plus and currently coming to you from a black iPad 2. *My last book was Guy Kawasaki's, "Enchantment." *(Do yourself a favor, read it.) I am also a TWiT lover.
Dan Brown is one of my favorite authors as I enjoy historical fiction, but I generally disliked the movies.
"Is It Just Me?" has recently become one of my favorite gay flicks, followed closely by "The Curiosity of Chance." *I think every gay teen should see "Camp" to prepare them for meeting a straight guy like that—a guy that's not necessarily bad but can really mess you up for years.
I'm tempted to be a snob and say I hate TV, but that's not the truth. *I watch too much. *NCIS, *Stargate of any variety (Scott and Jackson, oh my), Castle, Brothers & Sisters, The Apprentice, White Collar, Merlin, Torchwood, America's Test Kitchen, and so on... *I miss Battlestar Galactica.
Musically, I love almost anything, but not so much rap, or hip hop as I believe they call it these days. *I would probably cry if I ever met Meat Loaf.*
I don't consider myself effeminate, with the possible exception that things tend to move me and a sad scene in a show can cause me to tear up... but I try to hide it. *I have nothing against those guys who are feminine, but it's a little harder for me to relate. *
Well, if you've made it this far, that's truly awesome, I like you already! *I figure you're not just looking for a pic of a body part to share. *(I'm not saying that's necessarily a bad thing between consenting adults, but it's not why I'm here.)
If you feel any sort of kinship to a guy of my type, I'd love to talk.
Tim
