About Me:
Just a typical, Southern son of a preacher man. I like to think I am punk, but I am really just a redneck at heart. I work in politics, but have worked as a journalist, in construction and as a ranch hand. A good guy.
I have a little plot in the community garden, but I like to pretend that I am still farming. I treat it like its my urban farm.
I enjoy football, hanging out at the BlackCat and DC9, music, concerts, conversation, architecture and modern/minimalist design.
I once worked with the Iraqi Olympic Team.
Most embarrassing moments:
1) I was in Minneapolis at a party where Carol King was playing her "Bridge over Troubled Water" on the piano in the living room. Everyone was looking and listening in adoration while welling up with tears. Suddenly, my friend and I broke out in uncontrollable laughter. We couldn't stop giggling. Luckily, we ran out the door before King could see who it was.
2) One night I was at a club in Denver with my friend Jen. I saw a hot guy across the bar. I decided I would be bold for once and try to pick him up. It was dark, and the room was filled with mist from a smoke machine. Still, I managed to feel my way over through the crowd.
I smiled, and he smiled back. I shot him frisky glances, and he always returned them with one of his own. Eventually, I walked right up to him. We both smiled, and then clumsily tried to walk past each other. However, we would both move right, then left, then right as we kept mirroring each other's actions. We both then gave up and laughed. It looked like he wanted to kiss me, and I leaned in, but we both bumped our heads and fell to the floor. It was only when I looked up that I realized that the woman standing behind him laughing at us looked exactly like my friend Jen who was standing behind me laughing at us. My heart sank as I discovered that I had spent ten minutes checking myself out in a mirror. What a

Who I Want to Meet:
Sometimes I am just starved for good conversation. Open to dating. Friends are great.
I tend to have more straight friends in DC, so always looking for good gay guys to hang out with.

of mine from my New College days. We haven't
talked much in recent years, but I know he is an
overall good character, in spite of his tendency to
do kooky things like try to pick himself up in a
club or get my breast confused with my arm. I
highly recommend John for friendship, dating, or
cheap sex-- whatever he's offering, really. He's a
total sweetie.
they were pretty
am the democrat he will never be =) john
was the first person to show me that
being queer and working on a campaign
could be cool...esp amongst a mob of
hetero co-workers. i am forever thankful
for that, and forever thankful that i
met this hunka great hair, blue eyed
goodness.
back to three things:
Designing Women
Steel Magnoilias, or
Scissor Sisters
John is one of the most patient friends I
have ever had the grace of meeting. We
may not have made it this weekend, but
I do have your ticket paid for and it is
arriveing soon for the January
concert... :)
But other than that, John has introduced
me to the wonders of urban farming,
Ryan Airlines, and of course Tammy
Fay.
"one, two, the devil's coming for you" I
think that is the quote, I never get quotes
right...john does though.
I have 426 characters left to praise
john....make that 378. :)
John and Jake will make great babies. :)
with *this*one?! a great ball of saucy
southern charm and wit. krazier than a
loon (said with loving appreciation from
a fellow southerner), I never cease to
be amazed at john's clever, yet slightly
neurotic, aura - one that, if you are
not careful, will pull you right in. . .
for the Federal Marriage Amendment
years before Marilyn Musgrave
desperately tossed her credibility onto
history's flaming pyre of bigotry. Those
peopel were completely fruit cups.
Anywho, John was very kind not to tell
on me as I attempted to disrupt the
press audio feed through the malt box
with my minidisc recording of "Chapel
of Love" by the Dixie Cups. That's when
Napster was free and I was in my 20s.
Of course, I'd never do something like
that, again. Illegally downloading free
music cheats artists of their livelihood.
My lawyer says that counts as a public
service anouncement if it's prominently
posted online. But this is supposed to
be about John. John rarely speaks off
record and protects his sources like a
bitch. If you want something spread all
over the blogosphere, tell John, and he'll
tell me.
me to a bookstore a half hour early in
order to be first in line to meet Tammy
Faye and get her to sign John's book.
John is someone who rivals my usless
trvia knowledge :) We will go to NYC, I
swear...hehe
