| I don't believe in fairy tales. Really, I don't… |
| about myself: |
A quick caveat: if you believe in any kind of supreme being, deity, or "something/one greater than yourself" don't waste your time. I won't reply to you and I will block you. If you are firmly based in reality, please continue…
Nobody says on their deathbed, "I wish I had spent more time at the office. I'm so glad I chose something else over love." Cliché? Well, most of 'em are based in truth.
I am passionate about what I do and don't believe. I will say what I think, but I do have some grace. I do not tolerate offensive behavior readily, including over-looking bad behavior in order to keep peace. One important consideration: I truly believe that neither spirituality nor morality have anything to do with theism.
I am a vegetarian, but it is for esthetic and health reasons. Don't criticize me about my food choices, and I'm delighted to return the favor.
I am over-weight, but successfully working on it. And, while I don't have a great looking body at the moment, I am careful about how I present myself. Interested in a work-out partner?
I have my feet planted, however tentatively, on the ground. At the same time, while I don't exactly have my head in the clouds, I keep my eye on them and the amazing beauty they have. I am completely at home with technology, but other than a deep-seated appreciation for certain autos (no SUVs or PUs), I prefer to view its products as tools, not lifestyles or image-enhancers.
I love anything humorous - Douglas Adams, Red Dwarf, Python, Firesign Theatre; rock music - Led Zep, and the Beatles, and old school soul. I have owned the same folk guitar for over 30 years. One day I'll learn to really play it! I camp, fish(!!), and love the woods, the ocean and most of Mama Nature. |

| my idea of a great date: |
A great date isn't about the activities, but the exchanges between people. Maybe it's a coffee date at a perfect quiet little shop. Possibly a street fair, with the rowdiest, most extreme participants around. A walk on a boardwalk discussing politics, or birdwatching, or woodworking techniques.
It won't be about trying to impress. It will be about learning about another human being and enjoying the moment. It's about both listening and being heard. |
| the person I would like to meet: |
I'd like to meet people who are sure of themselves without insisting that they have all the answers. I find myself drawn to people who care very much about the world around them, who do not view money as The Answer, and who do not lift themselves up by putting others down.
I am interested in the histories of others, including current situations; we are all products of our experiences and need to understand and accept that as reality. You understand that you are an imperfect person, but have the possibility of a perfect you. And you will allow the same to me. You are not looking for someone to make you happy, or your life perfect. You know you have the ability to give and take a little joy. |
