Lovetastic: dating for gay men who believe in love

I'm Jonny

and I'm a modern man.
I'm digital and smoke-free;
a man for the millennium.

A diversified, multi-cultural,
post-modern deconstructionist;
politically, anatomically and ecologically incorrect.

I've been uplinked and downloaded,
I've been inputted and outsourced.
I know the upside of downsizing,
I know the downside of upgrading.

I'm new-wave, but I'm old-school;
and my inner child is outward-bound.

I'm a hot-wired, heat-seeking,
warm-hearted cool customer;
voice-activated and bio-degradable.

I interface with my database;
my database is in cyberspace;
so I'm interactive, I'm hyperactive,
and from time to time I'm radioactive.

I've got no need for coke and speed;
I've got no urge to binge and purge.

I'm in the moment, on the edge,
over the top, but under the radar.

A high-concept, low-profile,
medium-range ballistic missionary.

A street-wise smart bomb.
A top-gun bottom-feeder.

I wear power ties, I tell power lies,
I take power naps, I run victory laps.

A raging workaholic, a working rageaholic;
out of rehab and in denial.

I'm looking for a breath of fresh air. Perhaps a core shaker.

Any autobiography of a 'celebrity'

the blackberry

Only in order to be all embracing of every emotion. It's probably not something to dwell over.

Release

No. But I wish America would ditch its President.

psittacism, n., A string of meaningless, repetitive words

I'm afraid so. Even if it's me. Especially if it's me.

As and when...

If it exists, it's probably a work in progress and an ongoing creation.

As to it's arrival, that's probably irrelevant to everyone but the person to whom it belongs.

Never have, never will

I can well imagine an atheist's last words: "White, white" L-L-Love! My God!" - and the deathbed leap of faith. Whereas the agnostic, if he stays true to his reasonable self, if he stays beholden to dry, yeastless factuality, might try to explain the warm light bathing him by saying, "Possibly a f-f-f-failing of oxygenation of the b-b-brain," and, to the very end, lack imagination and miss the better story.

It's easy to find the mistakes in religion, but shall we deal with the positive aspects of it - the wealth it brings to a life, the sense of order, the sense of profundity, the sense of perspective that it gives - especially on evil.People who are religious, who have that perpspective have a far greater capactity to deal with evil than people who only have seccular ideologies. I think religion is far less of an insult to reason than reason would have us believe. When you read people like mahat magandi or martin luther king - you don't get a sense of unintelligent people who are into superstition. No, these are people with a deep faith and that no matter what happens to them, their faith is reinforced. Perhaps this is an argument against people who think that religion is perhaps escapism, these little fairy tales we tell ourselves about alternate reality. It's not. If anything, people who have faith confront reality all the time. Religion is always dealing with life, death, illness, diffult moral issues - it grapples with life, it doesn't escape it.

I choose to believe that all of this around us is underpinned by something greater. And I just can't see why I wouldn't believe that. I don't see what I would gain by being entirely reasonable or what triumph there would be for me to be 77 years old dying of cancer in some hospital bed and saying to myself "well, ive led a good life - I've been reasonable my entire life". I don't quite see what i'd gain by doing that

I saw some excellent stuff at the British Museum American collection by Martin Lewis.

I'm also partial to a Rothko.

The personal is the political.
