I Would Describe Myself As
Two key themes of my life are Anomaly and Synthesis. Since i was born of Chinese parents in Jamaica and grew up there, i'm culturally black which did not sit well with my family, and gay, which is anathema to the majority of my fellow Jamaicans, resulting in my being granted asylum in the US. I've known 30 gay men who've been killed in Jamaica, so my fear of persecution is a tad more than just academic. Here in the US, i don't fit into the Asian community, the Jamaicans are wary of anyone who would flee their idealized paradise, and African Americans don’t quite know what to make of me. Hence, i don't fit anywhere, have become a man without a country, the Eternal Outsider. That perspective, however, has its advantages as my varied identities, ethnicities and experience affords me a wider repertoire of possibilities. I'm able also to blend and meld diverse elements into new combinations. I'm accomplished in many fields, having been blessed with numerous talents, which paradoxically can present a challenge of having too many choices. Being intelligently lazy and laid-back, i do what i can when i can and go with the flow. I'm almost completely self-sufficient, granted my wants and lifestyle are simple, needing only the intimate companionship of a partner.

My Goal In Life Is
George Bernard Shaw said it best:
This is the true joy in life, the being used up for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the community, and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake.
