I am a white male in my 40's residing in the mid-west, U.S.A.
I was born in the mid-west, and have lived there most of my life.
I am polyamorous, heterosexual, have three long-term female parters, and children at home. I am on the council of the Twin Cities Polyamory Discussion Group (TCPDG)[1]
I am an active member of the local BDSM community in my area. I have affiliations with LINKS (Founding member), TIES[2], MSDB[3] (Founding Member), Beats_Me(Now Defunct;Founding Member), BDSM_Minnesota Yahoo group[4](Owner;Founding Member), Leather Journey[5], Knights of Leather[6] (Friend).
Special areas of interest and experience include:
Sexuality
This user sees nothing wrong with the human form and doesn't view it as something that needs to be hidden.
Human Sexuality "The sexuality of human beings comprises a broad range of behavior and processes, including the physiological, psychological, social, cultural, political, and spiritual or religious aspects of sex and human sexual behavior. Philosophy, particularly ethics and the study of morality, as well as theology, also address the subject."
NCSF - NCSF is primarily focused on the rights of consenting adults in the SM-leather-fetish, swing, and polyamory communities, who often face discrimination because of their sexual expression.
I am a moderate, and discouraged by both ends of the political spectrum.
Like most Americans, I think George Bush is an idiot, and hold great shame that the world judges me, and other Americans by his actions.
Religious
I have developed my own personal life philosophy over the years, and came to the understanding that this philosophy is essentially a variation of Buddhist thought. Particularly Zen Buddhism, and is also Existentialist in nature.

Key elements of my personal philosophy are:
Respect for others, and their right to their own religious beliefs. We all seek enlightenment, and all paths are equally valid in the pursuit of that enlightenment.
Live a life of humility, service.
Show Kindness and Compassion for all living things.
Reserve time for individual meditation, or contemplative thought.
Always being honest and true. All things are interconnected, and lying to anyone is just a round about way of trying to fool ones-self, and results in slowing your own path to enlightenment, and may deflect others as well from theirs.
Never taking anything that is not yours, or not given freely.
The Mauritius fody (Foudia rubra) is a rare and endangered species of bird in the weaver family, Ploceidae. It is endemic to the southern Indian Ocean island of Mauritius, where it resides in several types of forest, including degraded areas, as well as plantations. With a length of around 14 centimetres (5.5 inches), breeding males are olive brown, with a red head, breast and rump patch, and black lores. Females, non-breeding males and juveniles are olive brown with white wing bars and a brown bill. The bird feeds on insects such as grasshoppers, beetle larvae, caterpillars, and also spiders. Berries are eaten regularly by some individuals, and it feeds on nectar regularly, using its specialised brush-tipped tongue. This male Mauritius fody was photographed on the Île aux Aigrettes, an island off Mauritius's south-eastern coast.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
"A man is truly ethical only when he obeys the compulsion to help all life which he is able to assist, and shrinks from injuring anything that lives."" -- Albert Schweitzer
"If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain.
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain." --Emily Dickinson
"Religion is to do right. It is to love, it is to serve, it is to think, it is to be humble." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Six essential qualities that are the key to success: Sincerity, personal integrity, humility, courtesy, wisdom, charity."

Hi, I'm current trying to fix a lot of issues on the page Asian fetish. It would help a lot to get more eyes on the text, so that it's a community project and not just my own work. See that article's talk page for my current proposals. Constructive feedback is of course welcomed. ShinyAlbatross (talk) 03:50, 14 September 2024 (UTC)
