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.

    I'm an analytical type - constantly learning new things - business markets science music politics fashion people. I work in technology and love science & tech of any kind. I love ideas, insights, cleverness.Looking for someone fun to hang out with, but of course I'm pretty good at making things fun. If I could wave a wand, I would jump ahead to a serious long-term relationship. But I can't, and what serious long-term relationship ever started seriously?So random data: I like action, comedy-action, spy-thriller & sf movies, as well as independents.I like movies about making movies, like Living In Oblivion, and anything questioning our awareness of reality (Matrix / Ghost in the Shell / Sourcecode etc.) Authors I like: Phillip K.****..When I was in high school, I wished very hard to never be bored again, and I have to say my life has not been boring.I'm great at supporting a partner at whatever they want to do, and when I have the right person supporting me I can do anything. It seems to me that commitment-phobia is lame - when you find something good, hold onto it, because life is short and nothing lasts forever. Driving to Vegas for a weekend might be a bad idea for a first date. :) Or not... :)

    How's~life? Join me if you'd like to share the journey.. (pack-light, as i am not a baggage handler) ..though; I do enjoy 'being' and 'feeling' needed. Interested in a relationship based on an initial, attraction and, a friendship, first.Further developed by, a mutual, unspoken - attachment. (Strong Feminists, Need-Not-Apply..) Success-Full? No Problem'! Confident? Sure, Fine'! How Ever, if you 'Wear-the-Pants' ~ ..at least, wear jeans.I'm comfortable in a suit, or, what ever is appropriate. At this point in life, I'm most likely to be in Casual Pants; and, a Cotton Shirt ..casual, for around-town.I don't, "Punch-a-Clock.." I am, stable; &,(mostly) Sane. I find my, 'Work' to be Satisfying. I enjoy, Helping Others, and also Volunteer, when able.Fine, with 'Female-Friend' ..initially. However, I find that my life is: "Energized" by a, Serious, Mutually-Committed, Relationship.Loyalty, First'! ~Intimacy, Yes.Hugs; &, Affection..Always'."That" ~ Is, Who-I-Am..Truth; &, Honesty: ~ Mandatory. Simply meet to test for compatibility, chemistry. We will, at the very least; greet a new friend..~If, we've made it this far, we should have accomplished that much..The rest will have to develop on it's own.. Beyond making our acquaintance; determining - if, we will expand our friendship, is something that will occur naturally, (or, not). That's just the way it goes.This is an uncomfortable, time-consuming process. We should, (obviously), be polite; yet, also be 'straight-up' with each other! My 2nd favorite mail, is the 'True Lady' who says; "Thank You, No". The Truly 'Classy' will even, (semi-kindly), give 'an idea' of, what helped her come to that conclusion.I hope to develop just one relationship to last. I will court, if it is appropriate; I will not, Date.. per, say.In an ideal relationship, mutual attraction; the giving, (my favorite's giving), &, the feeling of intimacy, based on chemistry..(?).May-Be;..but 'Chemicals' Don't Care:~ 'love-is-a-bind' ~ 'un-broken' ~When, No-One's Left to: "Impress" ..'Just-Act-Naturally'Our Words, May Hide, our Thoughts;..But, Our Actions: Never - Will.

    Man. 52 years old. Zodiac sign: Taurus.

    Looking for: woman. In age: 49-59

    My work environment is fast paced and demanding so I enjoy my weekends with the wind in my hair. I usually have a smile on my face whether driving the coast, biking the beach or just relaxing. My hobbies include restoring cars and trucks, bicycling, live music, motorcycles and anything fun. Between work and raising my 13 year old son I am a busy guy; thus, I am on meetville to meet the woman of my dreams. There is a lot more that we can talk about. If you are interested, just ask. Coffee and conversation is great. The sky is the limit. Choose an adventure and I am in.
