My Testimonials

August 27, 2004
Whether leading a class at burning man or leading me on a leash Lynx intrigues me. I’ve never met a more loving, kind and patient man. He is quite unassuming, so don’t expect him to make the first move, but he is the most interesting person I know, and so very, very special to me.

Wish there were more people of his caliber. As true as steel, generous, protective of his friends and a quiet thunder. Such creativity brewing beneath the surface-- watch as he unleahes it.

My Profile

Age
39
about me
Just because I look before I leap, doesn't mean I don't leap...

I am a caring friend, don't suffer fools gladly, and regularly toss myself a challenge to keep from slipping into the all too convenient blandness of couch potato-hood.

Longstanding extracurriculars
- diverse martial arts
- Burning Man veteran (fire dancer, head of Camp Arachnid)
- 3 triathlons (Olympic distance) to date
- languages
- creative, empathic top

Always wishing I had more time to pursue artistic directions, mostly sticking to the safe professional career so far. But oh, how Cirque du Soleil and the edgier local SF equivalents make me want to run away from it all sometimes!

Constructive annoyance

Obama signs executive order to close Guantanamo Bay
edition.cnn.com/2009/POLIT.../index.html
'The United States does not have "to continue with a false choice between our safety and our ideals."'

He also signed an executive order effectively banning the use of torture in interrogations. I'm thrilled to see an end to that hypocritical insanity. Locking up 15-year-olds for years without charges, exploiting loopholes that established a US prison off US soil a... read more

This feels wrong on some level, but on the other hand there are worse stereotypes of foreign men than that they are considerate and gentlemanly... Besides, it's actually nice to see a gender reversal of the usual stuff, like the maid cafes in Tokyo.

Sure, there is conflict between some religious views and science. That has been going on for ages, and I'm not going to tackle it here.

... Much as it offends me that there is now a book available at the Grand Canyon National Park bookstores explaining how the Canyon was formed a few thousand years ago by the wrath of God ( www.nytimes.com/2004/10/26...26cany.html ).

... Okay, other than that I'm not going to tackle it here.

I stood in the checkout line... read more

This article is sorta surreal for a number of reasons, primarily the image of frat guys sending bulk text messages about discount cocaine:

However, I was also surprised to hear that there are now degrees in homeland security. Counter-terrorism, sure, I can see some number of people pursuing that as a degree. But 'homeland security'? The phrase itself is something Miniluv could cook up. Doesn't it seem like an odd title to... read more
