I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. If you are out to describe the truth, leave elegance to the tailor.

"Yond Cassius has a leane and hungry looke, He thinkes too much: such men are dangerous" I once ran my own repressive totalitarian regime, the 4-East Communist Party, leading my people to the socialist paradise. (Yes, the infamous Bobert was my employee in those days. Remember the job Rocky Balboa had at the beginning of Rocky? That was Bobert.) After communism foundered, I shifted gears to become the top organized crime boss of Poughkeepsie and a founder of The Syndicate.

1 part brilliant, 2 parts idiot. I hate mediacroty and resist being tainted at all cost. I used to be innocent, now I'm not but always looking for ways to regain my innocence. I get lost in my mind in a newtonian kind of way. I would rather go have fun and explore then just hang out. I deman honesty and loyalty from my friends. I can be extremley kinda and generous but when crossed vicious. I like sunsets better then sunrises.
- Marcos
Yes. I'm not 18 or 35 or 83. A global nomad, I am omnicurious and evermaking. Mensa was boring, my friendsters aren't. NON credo quia absurdum est. In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni. Fiat lux. Fiat felicitas. Fiat venustas pereat vita. Shall I translate? http://www.centrifuge.org/;.

Time for another periodictic stab at summing myself up in a few sentences. Let's see. I used to hate cats but now I live with three of them. If I could give up eating and sleeping, I would. I watch America's Next Top Model but feel really bad about it. I don't have a problem with silence. I like acting but am unwilling to put up with all the crap I'd have to in order to maybe be successful at it. I write, act, and draw over at.

I'm engaged to a really great guy [James]. We live in Boston's South End [gay district] have a fluffy golden retriever/sled dog mix [Yukon] and a French cat [accident waiting to happen...with a snotty attitude]. Anything else at this particular juncture would probably be superfluous.

Hitting the walls and working the middle.

I am a creature of my own creation not to be subdued. I am shadows and flares, and shades between that none care know. Firm yet fluid across tense and tenor, never static. I am the beast protecting the gates, grotesque and sublime.
- Adam Porter
I am becoming me again, slowly but it is there. Stubborn beauty, stubborn beauty, oh very well then... I think I finally get what that means. Life is full of shit but the beauty of it all is there, just waiting to be coaxed out of hiding. Stay tuned for great things.
- James
Who am I? Good question, wish I had a good answer... I'm a lot of things such as intelligent, creative, honest, fun, open minded and goal oriented. I generally enjoy my work and intend on owning my own successful business (soon). Socially I enjoy going out and spending time with friends. People who are intelligent, deep and informed interest me. The ability to have a length, detailed intelligent conversation is a wonderful thing.
- Peter Steinfelds
I am a robot. Metal and electricity define me. My degrees in biology (BS) and nutrition (MS) do not. The research I did on cancer was educational, and rewarding, but I am taking a break from that area(nutritional science/biology/sciences). Education has had its place for me, but so does experience, and that is the route that I seek at this point in life. Exploration is pretty rad and discovery is better.
- Brian
I'm an odd fellow...I like to experiment and experience life...I try not to take to much of that drug called 'reality'.

I act, play music, do improv comedy, write, think, play video games, read. I have an amazing wife. Like the Amazing Spider-Man amazing. I have a baby named Nora. She is fantastic. Like Fantastic Four fantastic.

My legal name is not actually Jeffrey. All attempts to refer to me as "Jeffrey" will be met with swift retribution from on high. I'm never satisfied with the "About Me" section of my profile. Check out The Atrox to witness my most recent creative endeavors.

Sometimes you gotta be a hard guerilla ontologist, ya heard me? I'm a fast talking sophist, a graduate student, a teacher of easy courses for freshmen, a ninja, cooker of cajun food, a DJ, a dancer, reader of complex books, writer of obtuse papers. I will crash you party, but will bring booze and help you clean. I will call you on your weak shit to your face, but I will make you dinner and help you move.
- Johnny Swatts
Is it just me or is this what testimonials are for? Crap! I mean, how obnoxious, how odious to have to sell oneself in such a manner. Maybe some egotists and megalomaniacs enjoy writing this kind of self-absorbed drivel, but not I! Favorite quote: What would Jesus do? Die. - Sarah Vowell.
- Bethany
Abbey-Normal. I'm short, smart, sassy, and I tend to say what I think to the extent that I can get myself in trouble. I'm very intense when it comes to arguing, though I don't think it is the same thing as fighting. I have, on occasion, scared people away with the above personal quirks. I have a great need for personal space as well as a deep craving for intimacy.

You remember that amazing guy you know? Yeah? Good. Call him up... then let him know I'm about to take his place. All kidding aside, just here to meet new people and have fun.

Laid back guy always checking the swell and the breezies on the sand, or in the water (hot). Engineer who just graduated from college, spend most of my time working on the construction site in Corona. Always try and keep active (when I have the time), beach gym, frisbee whatever it takes.

Hey, what's up? I enjoy nature, running, music (piano, guitar, writing, listening), and spending time with friends. I'm interested in business, science, politics, movies, meeting new people... Especially those who are kind and have a good head on their shoulders. I'm working to get an economics degree and a business degree. I'd like to start my own company eventually. I'm always availiable to help people out, find something to do, or talk. Feel free to leave me a message!

Just because I am Bi Polar does not mean I am some one else most of the time. There is no one alive twice my age, and most half my age are either looking to score in the sack or score at the mall. Folks like me are lucky to score with a regular bowel movement. I am one who has never bothered with the metaphysical question of why, but the mundane questions of why not, how, when, and what.

I moved to DC from Atlanta a couple of years ago, where I went to school and did R&D work for a while. I like to do a lot of stuff, on the weekends I like to run, bike, hike, and hit concerts and museums and disc golf and I play different leagues depending on the season - Ultimate now, basketball and volleyball winter. I love reading and politics - I like to think about big questions and am trying to learn about econ, political theory, and the rest of it.
