Ramblings #1

So, this is my first blog and I wanted to state something profound, something that no one has ever thought of or blogged about before...is this possible? Doubtful, so let's just talk about me!



I'm the middle child of 17, not all full blood...thank god! I grew up in a small town in northern California and moved to Tulsa, OK when I was about 15. I was resistant at first, but have since grown to love Tulsa. It's a quiet little city, far from the hurry up and die lifestyle of CA. I've grown roots here and made a lot of close friends. It was a bit more difficult growing up gay in Oklahoma than I imagine it would have been in CA, but I did it and survived. I bounced from one relationship to another in search of something substantial and finally found it 15 years later. It's funny, in the gay community, when you are younger, you think that life ends after 25...for me it began. I had established myself, found a wonderful partner, bought a house, and had a career. Everything just sort of fell into place. I guess I'm am lucky in that sense. That's not to say I didn't go through some youthful drama, but it just seems so trivial now, just as youth always seems to be once you're old enough to appreciate it. The feeling that you will never find love, that no one knows how you feel or what you're going through. It all just seemed to melt away and I found myself a man without reservations as to what I wanted or how to get it. Now I have a wonderful life and it just gets better. I try to keep positive about it. You have to or it's just not worth living.



So that's me rambling on as usual. I'm sure that this blog will get better with time...as all things do, so bear with me. I'm still learning and always will be. I refuse to take other people's blogs as guidance. If I did...it wouldn't be mine. It wouldn't be who I am. Feel free to leave me feedback, it's always welcome.
