Hey there, friends... To be honest (as I always hope to be), I'm not certain I belong here. I stumbled upon this site through a search about a completly un-related topic. Because I don't believe in coincidences, I decided to stay and check this place out.. So, let's start with me... or who I think I am, anyhow. I'm 27 years old, soon to be 28. I have an incredible passion for live entertainment and all things creative. (including theater, dance, choreography, lighting design, pyrotechnics, writing, composing etc..) ...and while my interests are rather stereotypical, you'd never know I was gay if you met me in person. I'm also a recovering alcoholic. I've got 3 months of sobriety as of tomorrow (9\28)... and while it's rough at times, I am very grateful for the chance to actually LIVE now.. Which I guess is the reason I'm really here. I feel like I've lived for so long in this bubble of superficial life... not getting to see the hidden beauty in the world. Nature.... people... life... love (?)... It'll be nice to see without the beer goggles. I am learning to grow into the shoes I was meant to fill. I love to travel and I hope to do more of it in the future.. I spent a few months backpacking in Europe last year. It was absolutely amazing, thrilling, humbling, challenging, rewarding and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I feel that global travel, meeting others, and learning foreign cultures make the world too small for war. Anyhow, I feel like I'm ranting on a bit too long, so I'll close down with this: I'm hoping to explore other cultures and learn about other's way of life, therefore enhancing my own. Thanks, and I'll see you on the boards!! Hobie
