Okay, so you've finally found your way here. Welcome. I think I'll start by changing into something a little more comfortable, like something from my friends over at Abercrombie & Fitch, Co. (you'll have to get shockwave to view the entire site) I particularly enjoy all of the wonderful black and white photos of sexy men that grace the walls of each store, and it is a major
reason why I spend money there. Perhaps some day the nice folks who run the place will ship me one of those 12 foot wide prints in the heavy wood frame so that I can have it mounted on the north wall of my apartment in Colorado. I wonder if they noticed that I wore their clothes when I was photographed for an article in The Advocate magazine in Spring 1997?
Besides clothing, I also enjoy the luxury of Neiman Marcus. Recently, I tried to pay for some CandyMan lipstick, fingernail polish, Kheil's shave cream (thanks to Hal Rubenstein and Jim Mullen), and some other bathroom counter supplies with my VISA card only to be flatly rejected. Well, moments later I was the proud owner of their
InCircle Gold Card and should really see about paying the bill soon. Oh, another thing, I don't wear the lipstick or the fingernail polish - someone else does .. really, I swear ... his name is ... umm, can I say it? Okay, I asked and he said no, so I suppose that you'll have to read my e-mail or something later to find out just who I'm talking about.
As I just finished with dinner, now would be a good time to comment on some simple facets of table manners. Not that mine are superlative in all respects, but I do know how to sit up straight, take small portions of food with each bite, keep my napkin neatly folded on my lap (no photos of my lap, so check out my IBM ThinkPad 760ELD instead),
exercise good judgment when choosing my utensils, and most of all be a polite and interesting dining companion. Where, might you ask, does one get such anal retentive eating rules? Well, most of mine come from watching other people and deciding that I didn't want to look like them. I will also give credit to a few friends (Ken and Teri) as well as my parents (they were just a pain about a few things, I got my elbows smacked a lot with the butt of my knife) and the rest of them I found in a nice little book from Tiffany& Co. titled Tiffany's Table Manners for Teenagers. I wonder if David Geffen is a vegetarian too? Perhaps I'll find out if I can have lunch with him when I'm in Los Angeles next time (I go every couple months or so).
When it comes to my daily life, I spend it on things like The Gay Cafe web site, reading my favorite newspaper The Wall Street Journal (I read it on-line now because they couldn't deliver the print edition before 4pm), perhaps sipping through a bottle of 1994 Columbia Crest Merlot from the easy street balcony of my suite in an overly comfortable Westin Hotel & Resorts property (I'm a Premier Gold guest, gotta rack up those points!), traveling to the far reaches of the earth on United Airlines (12,000+ Mileage Plus miles for a trip on the Boeing 777 to Frankfurt!)
to get more sexy photos (From the folks at FoersterMedia) to put on The Gay Cafe NewsStand each week (sometimes I'm a little lazy about this). I live in a two bedroom, two bathroom, top floor (there are only three, so calm down) ~1,300 sq. ft. apartment in a northwest suburb of Denver, Colorado. I usually do something silly, like let friends or the guy that I want to be dating live there rent free so that I can pamper them. I know it sounds silly, but I don't like to be alone ... Check out two of my successful friends on the web, like Tim Gill of Quark and Andrew Tobias of stellar financial fame.
If you're curious more about me rather than the things that I find important, then here you go. I have dropped out of college twice, I am twenty one, and some of my meat market body statistics are: 5'11" 155# Blonde/Blue handsome, intelligent, caring, funny, great smile (straight white teeth); I support National Gay Organizations with charitable tax-deductible contributions; enjoy munching on ice cubes and drinking watered-down Ocean Spray cranberry juice; I drive a fast and fully-loaded 1996 Dodge Avenger ES (black with brownstone leather interior) and a 1996 Yamaha YZF600 motorcycle - mine is burgundy and purple; the three things that I despise the most are gambling, phone sex and smoking; I'm
gay, somewhat single, and out to everyone in my life (including my friends, parents, bank presidents, city mayors, software moguls, magazine publishers, fashion critics, Japanese businessmen, and a quarter of a million others in over 100 countries, just to name a few); last year I somehow made and lost a six figure income selling sexy photos on the Internet, and this year I'm going to do even more impressive things. If you would like to join my team, or of you have great aspirations of doing something that I might be interested in doing with you, please take a moment to let me know! What are your ideas for www.rainbowflag.com?
I love to listen to music on CD and the radio, I don't own a television. I know how to cook, clean, do laundry, wash windows, order dinner for a table of six, get to the airport on time, find every food item in the grocery market, and do my nails without touching a microwave oven in the process.
Last week I was tested HIV Negative by Home Access, an outfit in Kansas, for Forty Five Dollars. My birthday is September 15, 1975 and I have no interest in owning any pets. High places do not scare me so long as I have something to hold on to, I chew my food as much as is needed to swallow it, I've slept with a handful of people since I was 19, and started having sexual relations when I was 3, again at age 8, and then 12 years of complete frustrating hell ensued. I often publish my personal e-mail on this web site, and anything that you send me or cause to happen in my life could appear here for the world to read. I'm allergic to penicillin and sulfur drugs. My hands sweat often, and I never take vitamins or pain killer tablets of any sort because I'm as healthy as a horse. In high school, I was President of National Honor Society (had to secretly change my grades in the computer twice to get my GPA up to a 3.8 for that to happen), my friends all study the works of Ayn Rand, and in 1995 I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down.
If there is anything else that you would like to know, poke around here some more, write me an e-mail nathan@npj.com, send a fax toll free in the USA 1-888-860-6062 or 1-303-727-6062 for everyone outside the USA, train a carrier pigeon, or use colored smoke signals.
