Philly Fringe, performance art in general, my kids, Perrenial Wisdom, Buddhist teaching, American Transendentalism, Womens Roller Derby, tasteful erotica, starting meditation, Hellfire Club, expanding my circle of unique, interesting, mind bending people, events and experiences that are extra-ordinary.Life is short and fragile. Don't die wondering. Take chances. Go and explore. Find shipmates!

I'd like to meet:

People in NJ, PA, NY would be most practical, but I am open to every corner of the world.For the men: Be interesting. I don't give a damn about age, race, looks, past mistakes, nooks and crannies. Looking for friends to do activities, attend events and have conversation & exchange inspiration.For the ladies: Friends: Be interesting; see above comments for men. Romantic possibilities: Perfect Match: Able to access her emotions, laugh & cry, feel elation and pain, intelligent, empathetic, caring, nurturing, romantic, sophisticated, feminine, very attractive, enjoy restaurants and being out in nature, enjoy art, theater and cultural events, liberated and free in her sexuality, enjoy massage and loving touch, willing to grow in a relationship, be financially independent.Ideal Relationship: I don’t know how to respond to this question. Ideal is not real. Ideal is fantasy. The relationship would be between two mature, loving, nurturing people who have their own individual interests and want to assist in peace and happiness for their partner. I look forward to meeting my life partner. I want to be with someone who desires me as much as I desire to be with her. My partner will be my confidant, fellow adventurer, intellectual equal, and the woman with whom I have a very strong physical attraction.Interests: Travel, learning about different cultures, current events, human rights, meeting interesting people, The Arts (traditional and performance art), spirituality, reading, exercise. Music: World music such as Indian, African, South American, French cafe. Also, enjoy classic rock and roll, blues, and ambient music while I work.Perfect First Date: Will probably be awkward. If my date has similar interests, attitudes and motivations I am sure it will go fine.Learned From Past Relationships: Patience, tolerance, respect, mutual interests make for a good relationship. Similar attitudes toward sexuality are very important. Individual and separate interests are also important. People can grow and change. Anger will destroy a relationship. People have to work on their own spirituality and inner peace in order to make a relationship successful. Have fun together. Don’t take your partner for granted. You can not change people.
