I am here for Serious Relationships, Friends and Networking

About Me

Realist, survivalist, realist, romantic, nostalgist, optimist, enigmatic, ambiguous, magnanimous, dependable, intelligent, spiritual, karmic, intuitive, loving, inquisitive, hopeful, available...A great part of my life has been comprised of struggles against internal and external challenges and adversity. Paradoxically, this has helped my spiritual growth as I learn that some circumstances couldn't possibly be caused or corrected by human endeavor. I have been helped along by something that eludes my intellectual grasp; hence my fumbling attempts to grow spiritually. There are two sayings that always work for me, sometimes on an hourly basis: "If you stay ready, you'll never have to get ready", and "Never run faster than your angels can fly". I am definitely on a journey, one that I hope to share with someone someday.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Everyone wants to meet and know like-minded people, and I am no exception, but I'm also intrigued by someone who has a differing opinion; who can make it compelling enough to possibly make me question core beliefs. And I haven't bumped into my elusive Significant Other or Life Partner on the Muni yet...

Congratulations

Another milestone in my life. As I posted months ago, I said I had planned on tapering the methadone treatment out of my life by fall; well, I'm on schedule, because I started the taper two weeks...

...and nine months later...

The reason I'm blogging today is should anyone ever have the desire to meet me based on my Myspace profile, it should at least be current. My last blog entry was nine mon...

Just a "little" behind the times?

So, lets try this new font...shit! I'm not going to trip over the fact that my keys won't do exactly what I want them to do this exact moment...everything I've ever learned since 1977 has been without...

What Is Money?

Last week I "came into a little money", as they say...I finally recieved an insurance settlement I had been waiting on for months. This means that I will be recieving  substantial retroactive pay...

Ain't No Big Thing

This is the week I "kicked"...again :) After my back surgery in March (I know, you're tired of hearing about it) I was on a strict opiate regimen for the pain. A couple of weeks ago I decided to see&n...

I don't make any secret of the fact that I'm in therapy; earlier this year I decided to put alcohol and drugs behind me once and for all, and after extensive investigation I've decided that AA or any ...

A Dubious Milestone

Not alot of font choices here, huh? As I've written earlier, I had back surgery awhile back. It was also a turning point of sorts in my life; an opportunity to assess exactly where the hell I was in t...
