I've had some luck on here.... my longest relationship from meetville was 2 years and I've been in a handful of ***month relationships as well.... I also have made some great friendships and have no complaints.....but I'm back for more.... I'm an elementary school music teacher and being creative and inspiring my students are two very important things in my life. I play piano, guitar, trumpet and I'm learning to play banjo... I feel very lucky to be able to do the work that I do.... I'd like to get a kids singing group together to write original songs for events around the city....I have a soft spot for old children's TV shows/cartoons...The arts and creativity and intelligence and depth and silliness...... are all very important..... I love the word "freedom"....I enjoy getting together with friends to write songs, sing in the backyard, share ideas, go out to eat...I enjoy listening to and playing all types of music including 80's rock/pop, old RnB, jazz, metal, indie rock, folk/old country, electric/acoustic blues, latin/salsa, world music.... and I really like dancing to all kinds of music... to me, the summer isn't totally complete without spending some time at the Calgary Folk Festival, or the Blues Fest, or the Canmore Folk Fest........I read a wide variety of books, mostly non-fiction, especially the psychology of Carl Jung and Buddhist and Hindu philosophy and history..... before I became a teacher I got degree in Religious Studies and would like to go further and perhaps do a Master's in that some day..... I'm currently reading a collection of stories by Kafka and a book on rocks and gems....I love to learn about the world around me... I like going to museums.......I love to laugh and make others do the same...I'm crazy about spontaneous road trips.... with lots of stops along the way.... with no plans or destinations.....I am loving the Spring weather in Calgary this year. I can't wait for the snow to be gone permanently so I can go for long walks by the river as the sun goes down...I like eating all kinds of food, especially Korean (I lived in South Korea for ***years where I taught English.... and got married.... later to be divorced.... long story.....) and South American... mmmm, pupusas!.....I like musicals, opera and live theatre.... In movies, I like everything from documentaries, to wacky comedies, to obscure foreign films with subtitles.... I thought the Life of Pi was great... and Django...I like Kurosawa's samurai movies... I like reading about evolutionary theory....... and I like learning about the crazy/wacky world of quantum physics as well..... and about the origins of the universe.... Science fascinates me.... gawd, I'm such a teacher....If you've read this far, here is some of my writing...--The House--Under the moon and starsAnd the quiet of darknessAnd the stillness of nightAnd the blanket of the world,A house waited inPeace.Four solid wallsProtecting it’s resident,The person insideWho listened to the evening bellAnd opened a windowAnd watched the passers-by,Who survived onThe food in the house,Who read booksAbout the world,Who opened the doorTo let a stranger in,Only to have this visitorCome very closeAnd whisper,“Outside of these wallsLies inexhaustible love”jwh--In Passing--Old selfPast self subsumedBy who I have becomeOld friend vanishedIn time insideMy psyche belowThe surface underThe waves andCovered byLayer upon layerOf livingjwh--The Nightmare--I wrapped my cloak tightly around my body.I crept through the rubbish-strewn streets.I followed the sounds of the howling.I ran through the darkness.I ran from the fear.I ran for my life.I stopped to catch my breath.I stopped for a snack.I sat on the curbI ate a banana.I had some milk and cookies.I read a comic-book.I shuffled hockey-cards in my hands.I played my harmonica....and thenI slowly stood up and continued running.I ran through the dark alleys.I felt I was being followed.I felt the dread.I knew the end was near.jwh--The Mountains--This was my symbol of protection.This was my shield.This was the mystical barrierbetween myselfand the demon energieswhirling around my ankles....The animals spiritshiding in my Shadow.These were the natural forcespressing inagainst my feeble and innocent Self.Suddenly...I awakenedto the realization that I had forgottenthe worst predator of them all...so out of place...so foreign and forboding...her brooding stare...the Hungarian vampiress...and I felt the oozing pressureand weight of her eyes staring at me.Somehow...in some unfathomable turn of events,she had discovered me...here, climbing in the lonely crisp windsat the top of the Great White North.jwh--Archetypes--Through optical windows within a manBehind his eyes live a tribe and clanPeople and patterns dwell within, it seemsNestled in shadows and dancing in dreamsExtending a motion both mythic and mysticExpressing emotion and characteristicIdeal form and specimen nobleArchetypes ancient, elusive, immobileReaching out forward, the future to seeAching to achieve immortalityjwh--Powerful Friend--Wilfully watching words that I say,my powerful friend is moving awayHe's taken to weeping and wanting to shout,but after his keeping I'm booting him outand seizing a chance at changing inside,these rusty old vaults are opening wideCollecting some fragments from fairweather friendsfor fueling the change, for making amends,I'm forming a vision from various sourcesand sewing a patchwork quilt of remorsesand packing this blanket, his stay at an end,I'm sending him off, my powerful friend.jwh ...let's talk

Hi there.I'm 40. I enjoy fishing,golfing(not very good though) long boarding,pool,poker,camp fires,and movies. I have a son who is 10 and enjoy spending time with him. I like a lot of different music from rock to country. Looking to date and meet new people and see where it goes from there. It would be nice to keep the first date simple.a coffee or drink in a place where it's easy to talk and get to know one another.

Hello. I'm John. Here is a little myself:I'm very funny. I have a great sense of humor and a fairly positive out look on life. I work hard to be happy. I live a fairly balanced life. I love being outdoors. I'm an avid mushroom hunter, fisherman and love to go camping. I also love to cook. I'm inifinately knowledgeable on food, farming and foraging. I travel as much as possible too. I love to explore different cultures and their foods and music. I've traveled my whole life. I lived in India. Ive traveled to several latin american countries.. I'm also an avid reader. I have a Ba in English but I also speak several languages. If your picture is you making a duck face...don't bother. If you are clingy and are not mature. Don't bother. If you think all men cheat. Don't bother. If you can't manage your money. Don't bother. If you don't take care of yourself and lead a somewhat healthy lifestyle. Don't bother. I'm a very well rounded guy and hope to meet a someone with similar interests and who's down to earth. I only cross bridges that I'm at. ;)
