About Me
I am an artistic person, into photography, videography, video editing, sound design, music, writing and acting. I love long rides on my bicycle, golf & tennis. I'm the oldest of three (formerly four) siblings. I think I've generally got a healthy sense of humor, but recent events have surely humbled me! Whatever grandiose dreams I may have had, about being the next Spielberg in Hollywood or whatever have currently been chopped down to: Stay healthy and share love.
Interests
Photography, filmmaking, golf, tennis, bicycling, discussing philosophy, religion, politics, current events, literature, film.

Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a SiblingMy brother passed away January 31 '07 of colon, liver, lymph and spinal cancer. He was a truck driver who was always behind the 8-ball financially, so he didn't get a health insurance policy until he was already in horrible pain. He had a lot of acid reflux, so he and we all assumed it was ulcer-related. Blood work and an MRI proved that it was cancer. By the time he was diagnosed, he was in the final stages of Stage IV. I lost my best friend, the greatest brother in the whole world!
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- It helps when I'm feeling like I want to "mix it up" with people, I go for a bike-ride and try to get involved in a volleyball game or some other contact sport.
- Crying Somewhat Helpful
- It relieves tension and is temporarily "on and off" successful. Whenever I hear a sad song or I get near doctor's offices or medical facilities, the depression sets in.
- Grief Counseling Too Soon to Tell
- I'm here as a form of "grief counseling".
- Prayer Somewhat Helpful
- It helps somewhat, but my brother never was much of a religious person. I find talking DIRECTLY to him, spiritually, helps sometimes, when I look at a fond picture.
Close Anxiety
My brother died January '07 of cancer. We were really close and I was there with him to hear exactly what he was going through almost to his last breath. Since his passing, there's been a void of emptiness that is impossible to fill. I find it difficult to relax and find my center at various times of day, and there's a persistent muscle tension around my mid-section that just won't go away. I don't want to drink alcohol or get hooked on meds for the problem. Any advice?
Treatments
- Acai Too Soon to Tell
Open Colon Cancer
Stage: 0 (Tis)I lost my brother at age 40 to this God-awful disease in January '07, and I'm still struggling to cope with his demise, so my story is one of grief. A big chunk of my heart and soul died with my brother. I got a colonoscopy this year and checked out fine, not a single polyp, so I'm thankfully not suffering from this disease, but watching a loved one die from it has hollowed my heart to the core in a profound way. The emptiness is unbearable at times.
Open Healthy Sex
What can I tell ya? Single, 42 years old, fair-skinned, blonde haired, blue-eyed, keep myself fit.
Treatments
- Patience Working / Worked
- I try to be patient in all aspects of life, particularly money and sex, but sometimes feel a bit deprived. I don't have a pretty face like Brad Pitt, but I do have a body like Tom Cruise (especially the pecs and glutes).
Open Healthy Relationships
I'm 42 years old, physically in great shape, Single, never married, seeking someone, was seeing a Vietnamese woman for awhile, we had our "cross-cultural" communication problems and it didn't work out.
Treatments

Generally pretty confident, slip into depression sometimes, need a shoulder to lean on for emotional reinforcement...
