About me

Gender Male
Location Anaheim, California, United States
Introduction Single, no kids, graying at temples and way overweight. I'm an Aries, a romantic, a naive idealist, temperamental and passionate about love and justice, a lapsed Catholic who dwells more on the spiritual and altruistic. Progressive in both politics and music. Born in NYC to Cuban exiles. Raised in Cadiz, Spain from 1974 to 1981. Living in Anaheim off and on since 1973, 1981, 1989. Some former stomping grounds: Miami and Chicago/Woodridge from 1984 to 1989. Needless to say, emotional stability has always eluded me. Grateful for the hundreds of great folks I've met over those years, though. Also, a '70s and '80s comic/cartoon/toy junkie and damn proud of it! My hobbies keep me both young and sane, bless 'em.
