About Me
Howdee, I'm "am" a SWM,35,of Irish/Scottish origin,and one of the few true Manhattan natives left in New York County,for better or for worse. I am currently undergoing a metamorphosis in occupation,departing from the world of International Finance,and wading into the wide breadth of Arts and Humanities,where my heart has always been. Excited about this product,due to my status as an amateur Etymologist ,Linguist,etc. Cheerio, JFXB

Favorite Word:

pulchritude
I communicate in a very sensual,multilayered fashion,in addition to the act of speaking,I have always felt various intuitive layers in the act of uttering certain words. Ergo,I have always believed "pulchritude" was a word that audibly evokes it's meaning sensually as well as cognitively.

Favorite Quote:

"Then, said Cranly, you do not intend to become a protestant? ” I said that I had lost the faith, Stephen answered, but not that I had lost self-respect. What kind of liberation would that be to forsake an absurdity which is logical and coherent and to embrace one which is illogical and incoherent?"
- James Joyce
