WAZZZZZZZZZZZZ'UP !

As a friend stated, it's about "F'n" time you put up a webpage!    

SO - here is my site.  
         here  is a little bit about  ME . .  .

         
  Spring Thaw Cruise - 2009                                    My (new) RIDE!     ST1300A7                          Sister Edith Moorecock

Here is my 'out' to finally say to the world ‘who’ and ‘what’ I am.  
   Take a look at the   OUT'ing page  for lot's of details and a recap of my  OUT'ing. 
   It's honest. It's open.  And....  like it or not....  it's me.   

My only regret is that it took so many years to (finally) come to grips with my inner-soul and acknowledge who and what I am.  
Friends and family weren't ready in 82'.  (I wasn't either.)
To quote my father,  "Slow but Sure"  

 
I’m PROUD of the fact that I ‘am’ who I am.  I’m PROUD of who I can be -from now on!
I only regret the lost years... the years of lies...  the torment that I put myself -and others - through.

It's a totally unique way of living . . .   honesty - open – truthful  -to yourself and others!
THANKS  for being you . . .   cause I'm gonna be me !

;) KM

There is no single aspect of my life that defines 'who' I am.  Each aspect simply layers upon the other allowing me to be more of the fun-loving, funny, flirtatious, nut-case that I am.  In my sooooo many areas of my life, I quote:  Safety 1st, Fun 2nd, and then ‘life happens’.  

This is a motto for me:

     To laugh (at oneself) is to risk appearing the fool.
     To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
     To reach out to another
          is to risk involvement.
     To expose your feeling
          is to risk exposing yourself.
     To place your ideas and your dreams before
          the crowd is to risk ridicule.
     But… risks must be taken. Why?
     Because the greatest risk in life
          is to risk nothing.
     One may avoid suffering and sorrow,
          but you simply cannot learn to feel
            - or to grow
            - or to love
            - or to live
     Chained by ones certitudes, one would be a slave.

     Only the person who risks is truly free.

I work for  Puget Sound Safety  doing Instructor Recruitment, Development, and Quality Assurance

What is LIFE ? 
Is it  -by definition:
The property or quality that distinguishes living organisms from dead organisms and inanimate matter, manifested in functions such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and response to stimuli or adaptation to the environment originating from within the organism

OR

Is it -by realism:
The ability, realization, search for, and experiences of individualized vitality while one enjoys and maximizes their own personal positive (fun) satisfying existence.

I believe that I try to maximize life...    the fun...   the direction...  the means and the end. Too many seem to simply slip through life and only attain a minimal existence.
I hope, that if you get to know me, you'll find I not one of them.

I'm luv'n life.
I'm LIVING life !

Voice Your Pride
               Why do I have to tell you I am Gay?
               Why can't I just be quiet about it?
               This, I hope, will explain why I don't WANT to shut up about it....
               I want to tell you I am Gay because
               I am . . .
                 fed up of hiding
                 bored of lying
                 annoyed of pretending
                 tired of sidestepping
                 Drained of guilt and fear barricading me from you
               I need to tell you I am Gay because
               I like you and  I value our relationship
              
               I am not at ease with a relationship based upon deceit
               I need to tell you I am Gay because
               I want to be a positive and confident role model--
               I want to counteract the offensive stereotypes
               That has plagued our community
               And provide you with a Gay person you can have pride in
               I need to tell you I am Gay because
               I want to be able to share my life with you
               I don't want to have to lie and say I was with a woman over the weekend
               I don't want to have separate bedrooms
               And call the person I love my "roommate"
               I need to tell you I am Gay because
               This is          WHO I AM
               It has taken me a long time to get to this place
               Where I can share with you who I am
               And I hope that you
               Like me enough to stay in my life

               It would hurt me greatly to sacrifice our friendship
               But if you can't stay I will know that
               You NEVER REALLY loved me
               And to be honest
               I will be better off with out you.

               "Coming out" takes many of us a very long time
               It is a highway of much pain, agony, fear, sadness, and anguish
               However once we gain and win our own acceptance and come to terms
               With who we are.... Our lives can be full, prosperous, euphoric,
               And fulfilled with awesome, loving people both Gay and straight.
               Like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon
               We can find our beauty and fly!

So - who am I ???

A  Bear ?  Cub ?   Otter ?   Wolf ??? 

How about . . .     I am ME!!!

A solid  5' 10"   frame  185lb   (down from   +240lb's)   an x-Bear !
(Maybe I am a CUB.  However, I'd rather classify myself as a  Bear-Lover-CUB-In-Training !)
I am  a   Stocky / Hairy / Witty / All-American  guy.    

I have lived in quite a few states around the country.   Since 1996 I have lived in the Seattle area. I absolutely LOVE the Pacific Northwest .   The weather, the mountains, the snow, the forests, the nightlife, the MEN, etc. etc.  

I have an odd/busy schedule.. .   maybe it's a simple reflection of my  odd personality. 
I am  - seemingly what I do !    

I am trying to be ‘true’ to me.  I am trying to let people know it’s ‘ok’ to be themselves. 
It truly is ‘ok’ to live a joyous, fulfilled, guilt-free life. 
It all starts within you…   it all starts with the  ‘power of one’. 

each of us holds the key                      to the power of one

one by one                                           we can make the world a much better place

it begins with believing                     it starts in the heart

then flows through the soul               and changes the world      

imagine how life will be                    when we stand in unity

each of us holds a key                        it's inside of you and me

                                                            -- Donna Summer – The Power Of One.

Each of us – is in charge of our own destiny.   It all starts with believing and the power of thought!

So . . .  a little about me . .  . 

I  believe that each of us is a work-in-progress.  
    believe that everything happens for a reason.  (Even difficult to figure out why.)

    believe that we are...  a never ending 'evolution' of mind, body, and soul.  
    (Some of us just take a lot more time than others!)


God...  if only I had been able to come-out years ago.   I sometimes wonder where, what, and who I would be now.   I am starting to make up (now) for  what I missed all those years.   

  
Don't hate me...  I simply am ‘who’ and ‘what’ I am !
;) KM

Maybe  I'm  'on-line'  w/ the Cam !

So . . . .
