About me
I am a fifty year old gay male. I am currently retired after many years in I.T. , have a bad back and walk with a cane when necessary. I can often get by without using my cane, but occasionally, not using it becomes uncomfortable. I am a writer and I am currently working on multiple projects. I do suffer from depression, but my writing helps with that. I am also trying to become more outgoing and social whenever i can. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures whenever I can. I am very inquisitive, sometimes to the point of seeming nosy. Telling me that something is none of my concern will never offend me, in fact, it is very difficult to offend me. As a writer, I believe words can be used for many things, but hurting me is not one of them. . It’s the old “words can never hurt you” thing we learned as children . While words will never offend me(I have a very colorful vocabulary, myself) , I can be offended by a person’s attitude and behavior, especially if I see a person or animal being mistreated. oh, and I do tend to ramble on about things from time to time. I had a stroke a few years ago, though i can’t say exactly when. The stroke seemed to partially reformat my hard drive (memory), so that I lost quite a few of my life experiences. I do occasionally have flashes, like some sectors of my memory are being recovered randomly and sometimes, seeing a face or a place I recognize will bring back some memories, but names still tend to elude me. Since my stroke, I often have trouble finding the right word in certain circumstances . As I do not recall the majority of my past, I feel that I should move to a new city and create new memories. I vaguely recall living in New Orleans at some point in my distant past, but this fact is all I can recall. No places, faces, etc. so I’m looking to make new memories of new faces and places. I think I have some friends in the city, but thinking I do is the extent of it.
