I dress my self in vest, at least 8 buttons, and proper matching color pants during the Fall and Spring, and designer shirts during the Summers. Winters it is all three piece suits. Fedoras ...well I got Ithaca wearing them who want to be in.

Those I encourage women to wear.

I am the first in everything-thus it is to no surprise I was the first male to finish a Woman ( Womyn ) Studies Minor at Buffalo State College. Moreover, I have always found style and diversities found in female stylings to be one of the most fascinating aspects of our culture and nation in which we should always be proud.

I am also a Vietnam Veteran, and as such I am very concerned of whats going with our nation and those who we are involved with Internationally. Thus it should not be anyones surprise that I have also developed a Baghdad Night Life ( NightLife ), RMC website listing under my Night Life ( NightLife ), RMC InterCultural Communications Internet Network. This is how I was to effectively reach to the Iraqi Peoples - via an open letter on this site, and have got back interesting but highly responsiable reactions-the best I have ever recieved in the tens of thousands International emails I have recieved over the past 5 years. I was litterally surprised. In the meantime, I am also forming, via the internet , Persian Gulf Veterans under the promotion " Proud to Serve ".

The world of fashions, once really appreciated for its depth of diversities and the creativity that goes behind everything a woman wears, as a result, indicates how a more gentler society can produce awsome results.

Why? Point One.

Experiencing violence in its most graphic form, the Vietnam War, those ( fashion desingers and the fashion industry itslef )who are able to participate sucessfully in this industry really are not aware of the real human significance of their labors, or the mental processes which they have developed to create the things they design an its over all impact of its importance to human society-its sense of expressions and aspirations towards human gentleness visually.

Why? Point Two.

Thus as a result of my mentoring of International Students / Scholars within higher education both in Western, New York, and Ontario, Canada over a 20 year period, I have also, found additional human values, similarities in cultural attributes, and interest as a result. It was in the resulting working relationships, developing campus and community programs, and new friendships with our visiting International Scholars / Students which in turn taught me about their own National and ethnic cultural values. Fashion is but one element. The others are just as delightful IE. foods. Thus, and very much like my dance career, and gentler interests, this peaked my interest and this too became an additional cornerstone to those elements which I developed and fully integrated in the central character it took for me to develop to survive the war with my soul intact-the foundation being " I had a real soul." And thus something al the more to build on.

Why? Point Three.

Thus my specific and active goals, I am more than interested in the International preventioning in the traffic of women ( those who with false promises who were lured aways from their homes-primarily in the Eastern Block of Eruope for jobs in Western Europe or America - but instead being sold litterally on an open market ), and missing children. I like and highly respect the FOX show American Most Wanted too!

Why? Point Four.

The other aspects as listed above is included The Foundation " For " Arab - Israeli Reconciliation in as much as within the dimension of culture, remembering the more gentle aspects, ie fashions, in which we human are capable of, and the experiences in the great diversities in which culture produces, there are very strong ethnological commonalities between the Israelis and the Arabs. Something in which has not been really focused on in a road map to final peace. These commonalities are far more stronger than anything either can have with European civilizations or the American civilization ( despite the fact of a large American Jewish presence ). This aspect can only be conducted through InterCultural Communications, and this is very much like commonalities in historic fashions, or Eastern centricity of fashion designs as just one tiny example example as compared to the larger ones, ie. Total Free Middle - East Trade - the central core and future hope.

Conclusion:

It is the examples of the diversities in fashions which indicates that our interest in finding a happier life is far more possible, no manner the hard realities we have faced in the past. I will encourage all of you to really reach out and re-self-discover yourself as well as your family's roots, and do it with each other equally, as well as with your friends as additional partners in personal discovery.

Men who abuse women. In a bar in Buffalo, New York, Third Base, on Main Street across Main Street University of Buffalo, a man was abusing his girl friend. Year 1981, ( Which the next day the relationship broke up, no wonder! )All of a sudden he hit her while she was sipping her drink as she tried to ignore him. That was it. I could not stand it any longer. I went into motion. The next minuet he was on the floor, and of course, later on, he was arrested.

Years later, remembering the feelings I had during this incident, I became a volunteer researcher for The Anti - Rape Task Force, State University of New York at Buffalo 1990 - 1992, and self discovered more " pet hates ". Lots of them. More importantly, I have made the discovery as other similar groups were likewise discovering nation wide, this was during the early 1990s when additional discoveries were just being made, first of the campus level, then on the off campus general community level were abuse was even stronger and highly graphic, that violence and abuse was not gender specific; this bacame extremely important as it is now helping to close a window of vulnerabilties which are themselves, likewise, are not gender specific either. Thus I created even more pet hates, and started to address the nature of human violence, especially on same gender violence research speciality of all kinds.

This all prepared me for Ithaca, New York, a town I helping to change.

All those forms of music which takes time and care to produce. It is these essential elements which can be instantly recognized by me no matter the genre. None the less, Latin is my best form of musical taste.

Anything that does not show a lot of blood. I seen too much of it live!
