About Me

"Risk everything for love if you are truly human. Otherwise, leave this gathering." -RumiWriting about myself is difficult, but required, so here's my brief ramble. ~~I feel that the focused pursuit of end results alone leads to unhappiness. For me, happiness comes through the process of getting where I'm going. Sharing that experience with a partner, and taking part in their journey, makes the experience more meaningful. ~~I am a sane and loving person who connects well with others. I value friends and family and animals. I'm politically left of center and that is reflected in my work as a business owner, filmmaker, teacher, writer, and musician. I try to walk a fine line between being non-judgemental and making the decisions I must in order to get through each day. ~~I am an educated person with two masters degrees. As a musician I have performed with orchestras, sang backup with the Carpenters for 5 years (I was very young at the time), gigged with numerous bands and scored hundreds of films and TV shows. My graduate degrees are in film and I currently make my living as a producer/director/writer and university professor and department chair. I am fortunate to make a living doing what I love to do. ~~My musical tastes are diverse; I appreciate every style. Rock, pop, jazz, classical, blues and alt country have a place in my heart. ~~I love great comedy and worship humor. I have a personal prescription that requires an hour of humor every day. ~~I am spiritually tuned to the world but non-dogmatic. I am a panentheist whose beliefs are most closely reflected by Taoism but am comfortable with many traditions. I believe honesty is truly the best policy--nobody was ever caught telling a truth. Rumi's advice was to risk everything for love. That appears to be the main reason we are here--to love and be loved. From my experience, relationships must have three elements to succeed: intimacy, commitment and passion. If any of these is missing, it just won't work. Having these parts in place is only one step. Balancing them with the needs and interests of the individuals and, at the same time, creating an environment that allows the main three to grow and evolve over time--well, that's the trick, isn't it? I believe it can be done. The binders that hold it all together are humor, openness, honesty and acceptance. I think we all want the same thing; to adore someone and be adored in return. A good relationship is worth working and persevering for. Finally, I hate coathangers; they tangle, hide out behind the dryer and mock me.Well, it appears that I am surprisingly capable of writing on and on about myself. I'll close by saying that if larger portions of the above ramble describe you, then there is a chance we could ramble together.WARNING: Any *** individuals using this site or any of its associated sites for studies or projects-you DO NOT have permission to use any of my profile nor my pictures in any capacity both current and future.

    Looking for: woman. In age: 52-62

    Easy going and soft hearted, maybe a little too serious, love Mexican and Chinese food, nature walks, animals, who doesn’t, dirt bikes and atv’s, a bit neurotic and insecure, have knowledge of many subjects and issues, enjoy spirited discussions, don’t smoke, drink rarely, have many skills, cry every time I watch Phenomenon, Meet Joe Black, like all music except rap and country. An older model, but low mileage and have been maintained fairly well. Weigh ***lbs, 15 lbs overweight, now in the process of correcting this. Down to earth, live a simple lifestyle, and would like to find my counterpart to share joy and happiness that I have not experienced in a long time. Would like to feel excitement and anticipation when thinking about her. A simple meet and greet. Lets walk and talk in the park or wherever suits you, then go from there.

    I enjoy the outdoors, hunting, camping, fishing, quading. Would like to meet someone who is honest, caring and affectionate and i have no time for cheaters and liars. I believe a woman should be treated with respect and i would expect the same and thats the way it should be in a good relationship. I enjoy my days off as I work up north and work 10 days on and 10 days off and i keep fairly busy making custom hunting knives and now i will be getting into making leather sheaths for the knives i make. This is the first time going on a dating site or anything like this so it seems a little weird but ya never know, ya might meet the right person that could make 2 people happy forever. Getting together for a drink and chat to see if there is a connection.
