[The Basics][The Sock/Foot Fetish] [The Other Stuff] [The Random Stuff] [The Journal]

I am a 22-year-old college senior in the San Francisco Bay Area, studying Journalism, Geography, and Business.  I hold a 3.8 GPA and plan to graduate in the year 2000.  Eventually I'd like to get into broadcasting and the entertainment industry has always been a fascination (Yes, I'm a pop culture whore!).  I've been offered a couple of jobs writing for small publications around the Bay Area and a few online magazines, but I'm don't think I'm quite ready to get paid for anything I write.  I'm still learning and have a lot more to learn, about writing and, well, life in general.
I'm 5'9", weigh 150 pounds, have a medium build, brown eyes, and black hair.  I'm a mellow guy and enjoy basic stuff.  I'm a semi-groupie and I'm usually with friends and family, though quiet time alone is golden.  I'm not too complicated in real life, as most people that know me can attest to, but when I start writing, I can get pretty deep and it's hard to climb myself out sometimes.

I became sexually active in high school, with mostly females, but with a few males as well.  I was basic partner.  I wasn't into anything really unique until one night, as I was calming down from a run with a guy I was seeing.  Basically, to make a long story short, he just took off his running shoes and I saw something there that I never noticed.  His foot, including his white socks, looked so beautiful.  I later asked to really look at his foot for the first time.  It was so attractive to me-- the toes, the arch, the soles.  Being attracted to athletic girls and guys made me look at his socks for the first time that night.  The way they clung to his foot, the feel of soft fabric were very exciting.  Since that night I've been part of a new and exciting world.  (You can read more about this experience, and others, in my Sock Stories section.)

 Like I said earlier, I'm bisexual.  Unfortunately, I'm not fully able to be open about it.  It is difficult to understand the complications of being gay/bisexual, especially those who are living through it.  But I've learned to keep a good balance and keep me sane through many times I probably could have lost it all.  I'm still not sure what's going to happen with my life, but I'm sure I'll be happy and that's all that really matters in the end.  I am open about my past relationships with anyone I date, though it's quite the acrobatic act.  My family is oblivious to my social life outside my friends and that's okay with me.  If they ask, I'll tell.

To answer a few questions that I've been asked on and off for the past few months:

• I'm learning to cook.  So far, so good.

 The coolest sites I've visited all have a place for the author to ramble.  This is my ramble space.  Take some time and read.
