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.

    IF YOU USE A FOAM BUTT ENHANCER, please stop reading here, it absolutely would never work out! I have far reaching interests, ranging from stocks and politics, learning Mandrian to sports and travel. In regards to relationships, i believe the best quality is loyalty, good communication skills, and commitment. Whereas the best attribute one can show there partner is respect and honor. My soulmate... A beautiful women on the inside that has shared values, passion for life, laughter and happiness. She is loyal, optimistic, determined to give her best, adventurous, compassionate, possesses a kind heart, unpretentious, sassy, understanding, and a desire to have excellent communication skills. She wants to share her fashionista style and passion for life with her man. She is soft spoken and is very playful. Lives to travel. She's self motivated, has defined goals, would always fight to make a relationship endure the test of time, would never cheat, likes to dress up for a night on the town and also enjoys simple evenings at home.... is spontaneous, creative, she makes your heart skip a beat and when it does she will love you enough to keep it beating. She has a gentle touch and persuasive way that brings out the best in her man. She has a take charge attitude of turning a house into a happy, loving home. She has the ability to overlook the unimportant and see the inherent good inside and hold dear to her heart, her commitment to her partner.NOTE***If you drive a pedi cab, or looking for a stepping stone or island while you go through divorce, you have narcissistic tendencies, or your a real estate agent, use foam butt enhancers, or a bartender we are probably not a match....:) Something that leads to a second date.

Meet casually first
