CURRENT MISSION I'm here to expand my social world. I'm a shy guy with a lot to offer, I just have to get it out somehow! ABOUT ME I'm quiet and shy to most, but I shine when I am comfortable. I am a writer and music lover. I am open-minded and thankful of the trust that people give me. I am a nice guy who wants the best for everyone. I have run an internet discussion forum for over 9 years and have been blogging for nearly as long. I run an intellectual discussion group in NYC and I am a longtime member of a laid-back writing group. I love to travel and meet people from all over the world so that I can learn from them. I frequently travel alone; I see it as an opportunity to grow as a person and a responsible individual. PHILOSOPHY I am not spiritual in any way and I don't believe in intrinsic purpose or meaning. I think we have to make it up for ourselves. So, that's what I'm doing.
