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.

    Well, back again after a year and a half. Gonna give it another try and see what happens, so sit back, grab your favorite beverage and relax. I'm 53, widowed for almost 3 years and have been married 3 times. 5'6" and plan on growing some more as soon as I reach puberty. I guess I can be considered an average to just a" bit more" build depending on your particular standards. My sense of humor might be considered a bit warped, love to laugh and make others laugh. :-). Spent 10 years in the Army where I got my nsg. license. Went to Desert Storm and got sand in my butt. Married three times and my last wife passed away almost three years ago. I have 3 grown children, one living with me and a grandson. One chihuahua, 2 dachshunds, great Pyrenees, lab mutt (all rescues) some goats and soon some chickens. Just a warning, the small dogs sleep in the bed. I have a greenhouse that I like to grow bonsai and other various stuff. Pretty large garden this year. :-). Kinda shy when i first meet someone, but that will go away soon enough. I have a little issue with something called hsv. Mostly just an occasional skin rash and generally not an issue, but drug companies have to make their money, so it has become a rather big stigma for them. Since about 20%-25% are carrying it, you're probably safer with someone that knows, than someone that has it and doesn't know, or won't tell ya. :-) I would probably be a bit more inclined to make contact first except for this little issue, so if ya see anything here that interests you, give me a hollerSo, if you're still reading, Hi. I would like to take our time, and get to know each other, but ultimately looking for a permanent relationship. Looking for someone that is rather laid back and easy going. Between, oh 40ish to mid 50ish? Type A personalities just wouldn't work. I guess it's gonna be a given that you're gonna have to like animals. lol. Ultimately, I would like to find one person that I can wake up with in the morning, go to sleep with at night, we can smile at each other and I will know that it is me that can make you smile like that. I'm sure I will add more as I think of it, but I guess this is a start. I'll stick a picture in here, but as soon as I can find someone to take a decent one or two, hopefully you will be a bit better impressed. :-) If you're still here reading, we just had it. haha. Second one I want to know about you. I was wondering....is there anyone that doesn't like "long walks on the beach?" lol

    Looking for: woman. In age: 48-58

    - active person: golf, workout, photography, family, home improvement (lol)- am a very active father to my teenage, cheerleader... (help!)- professional, successful in life...looking for the missing "link":and, basically its this: An Unconventional Guy looking for Conventional GirlI would like to find a more “traditional” woman - That’s it; it’s that simple. I have a complex, high-profile life…but simple needs. They are needs that simply can not be fulfilled by the genre of woman I meet at local, adult “meeting establishments” (bars). How do I define “traditional”? Answer: a woman who actually wants to give---not take, take, take. Me? Very giving if there is trust (heart’s been broken a few times, you know). Anyway, I’m still optimistic and hopeful. I’m very secure in life…just missing one key element: a good woman.i am on this site to find a nice, in shape, smart, petite, dark-skinned, curvy, act-together woman... that"s the kind of woman i like....but, seems hard to find...if its you, please jump in a box and mail yourself to me! a couple of drinks at my place in the north county... and... ??????? ... to be decided... (OK...that's the SECOND DATE)first date: depends..
