Yup... and then there was that
I think there were times over the last ten years (still shy by a couple months) that I looked back and said "Well heck, I could go ten years single."
Yea... and here you are Brandon.
Okay, I wasn't totally single. I shared some really passionate, intimate, and wonderful moments with some really awesome people... but it wasn't a long term committed relationship.
Am I scared of commitment or as a friend earlier today on facebook put it "what would you say is the hardest to find quality of your ideal partner?"

Such a fair and right question. I do not know the answer to either.
I am now the final member of my family and I think my family's generation who has not wed or had children. Some have done one or the other and it is not mutually exclusive.
Many years ago I was on a path of piety and faith. The church was my refuge and in return she left me without the ability to talk to other people about intimacy or seek relations without guilt.
I speak about it in general terms because I act in both straight and gay roles. My job is to play both with honesty and respect both of these roles.

Sometimes as I lay awake at night I wonder if that honesty and respect has stolen my ability to have a specific relationship. My characters driving unique doubts into my lovers' heads. Perhaps they don't and I think too much of it.
No matter. 10 years draws nigh.
