My tastes are so eclectic. I love everything from 80's alt (DM, Cure, New Order, etc.) to Natasha Marsh, Ivy, Van Morrison, Adriana Calconhotto, Kings of Convenience, Iron & Wine, Big Band, Celtic, Native Flute...

I am a huge movie buff - there are far too many great movies to list as my favorites. I am a sucker for good westerns - Most recently I have enjoyed 310 to Yuma, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, There Will Be Blood, Open Range...

Again, I have very eclectic tastes - I enjoy reading non-fiction quite a bit - books on science (Geology, astronomy, zoology, physics...) I enjoy Zombie fiction. Right now I am reading Leaves of Grass by Whitman - I just finished an annotated version of Walden. I love reading Rilke, Rumi, Gibran...

Geology, Paleontology (vertebrate and invertebrate), Paleobotany, Astronomy, Poetry, Reading, Writing, Guitar, Highland and Uillean pipes, Native American flute, History (Ancient and Modern), Philosopy, Tattoo Art and Culture, Kenjutsu, Iaido, Shodo, All Things Celtic, and of course - Beards and Moustaches and the history thereof.

Hello everyone. My name is Matthew. Many of you know me under my moniker of, "Moon" on the BCBB.

I am the humble man behind the curtain of the Midwest Beard and Moustache Club

http://www.midwestbeard.com

All are welcome!

And yes, I am straight - I have had several messages sent my way asking if I am sure that I am straight - I most definitely am. The great thing about the bearded community is that I have made so many friends from so many diverse backgrounds.

So if you do not mind a straight guy as a friend, please feel free to message me - we are all human beings and each one of us are beautiful and unique.

I also prefer the quiet places...the wild places ...away from most people. My dream is to live in a cabin in the north woods - I would love to visit Alaska (and will get my chance next May)
