About Me:
Full of contradictions. Idealistic but practical. Political but with a sense of humor. I like a good argument, but often avoid confrontation.
I like going the "playing hooky" feeling I get when I go to movies in the afternoon. I don't like long walks on the beach.
I tend to get obsessed by a particular artist or type of music, listen to it constantly for a month (or two or six) and then put it away for a while, moving on to a new one. Luckily, I don't have the same tendency with friendships - once you're my friend you're stuck with me.

Who I Want to Meet:
Intelligent, interesting people who like to have a
good time, and don't mind a good argument every once in a
while. People who aren't afraid to put their real selves
out there. People who want to explore NYC and nearby areas. People who have a good music collection.

indeed a class act, that he works in politics,
and that he is good at his job. This is all true,
I would imagine. But what I've always
admired about Mike is that he "knows"
politics, in somewhat the same way as did
Machiavelli, that is, in much the same way
as a shark knows blood.
Which is a good thing, particularly since he
is on the right side, and is one hell of a class
act.

a fellow warrior in the fight to

served as my working definition of
integrity and is the most capable
person I know. Having gotten to be
the person with a front row view of
his evolution from gender-bending
anarcho-punk to well dressed, queer-

me feel damn lucky. He never ceases to
amaze me. And you gotta love that
butt.

for Mike, who is the most genuine,
and least ironic, guy on this network.
He is a leader in our generation.

think the man got upset all of exactly
one time in the years we've been
working together (and he apologized
before I had even noticed). Patient,
thoughtful, considerate, principled,
organized, hard-working, mature, and
with a rolodex you can't possible hope
to compete with. It's been a couple
years now, and he's taught me a lot,

boot.
