About Me



I usually gravitate towards intelligent passionate people who love every day and understand life is a fleeting gift. I tend to enjoy people who are loud but not egotistical, quiet but not passive, those who like to smile, can teach me something new, are aware of the world around them, and especially people who don't mind talking about what moves them. I continually evolve as a person, and that means growing mentally and physically.
Women wise...Michael is a sucker for stylish ladies, great conversationalists, warm smiles, and direct eye contact that is meant just for me. I am a one woman kind of man.
I am a lover of nature, river rapids, old growth forests, and sit in awe of wild animals, BUT... would just as soon live in a loft in the middle of the biggest city where the lights shine bright, life moves fast, and culture oozes from the people in the streets. I love Metallica, but prefer the sound of a river's edge. I think 24/7/365 and only get relief from my mind when in a good relationship, sitting in a movie theater, or playing with kids because I get to be one in those moments. I believe in asking for forgiveness more than permission. I don't believe tears compromise strength, nor do I think silence equals stupidity. I believe we are all sculptors working on our masterpiece. Some toil on their masterpiece with a large hammer and forged steel, while others are much further along, refining their masterpiece with little more than a chisel and the raw skin of their own hand.
Some masterpieces fit on Rocks, some on Boulders, still others need the side of a Mountain to pound out their dreams. No matter who you are, remember, this is your masterpiece and only you can see it.
KEEP WORKING. Your dreams are worth pursuing. I am pursuing mine this instance, YOU SHOULD TOO - So start writing that Children's Book! You'll be done before you know it, and the best part is...This will be UR passion focussed on a wonderful purpose with - Your Soul Engaged! That's hot!!! Always remember, failure is not an option, it is a given. Plan to deal with it often on your journey through this dreamy life. A Burning Passion for life and love is worth the trouble all that heat will cause.Because of the path my life has taken and the lessons I have learned, I can't believe that there is just one person for us in the world, instead, I believe that...

making a choice to be with one person

exhibits an evolution of self that allows for a unique opportunity at depths that are not attainable to the cynical, deceptive, or shallow people of the world. I believe in the Serenity Prayer, yet carry a fiery heart, with a fucking mouth to match it! I have found true love in my life, lost true love in my life, fucked up with the sweetest of women, and been fucked in love by some troubled women. In all of that, I am hopelessly positive and remain an unconditional believer in a True-Lifelong-One-Man-One-Woman-Love.
I am a patient man. I make a great Strawnanaberry smoothie. (The trick is freezing the fresh strawberries and bananas) I don't want to save the world; I do however want to see that future generations enjoy it to the fullest. Let me be clear in my words...I believe that means attacking offensively any nation, group, or individual who would plot to disrupt the freedoms so many have fought and died to secure. I am not blind to the idea that my own government can be a danger to me. I also see with complete clarity those hypocrites who profess to fight in the name of the same people they shackle to a life of dependence on government programs that destroy confidence and individuality. Clearly, I do not Support Barrack Obama for President. Admittedly, I am having a hard time finding a candidate I like this time around. It is my belief that their will be Four (4) Viable Presidential candidates before November Rolls around. Bloomberg, Gingrich, & Hillary (Unless Obama gives her the VEEP Job) all strike me as possible late entries, with Ron Paul as a shoo-in to run. Let's just all sit back and watch it unfold.
Yes, I am often preachy and long-winded! (;-)
Let's face it, everything needs balance, and everyone has an idea on how that balance is achieved. If trying to get people to agree on solutions were so easy, our tropps would be home, these wars would be wrapped up, and Muslims would not continually be strapping bombs to their bodies in countries all over the world.
I guess my life view is as follows; If you fall down, laugh.
If you've been wronged, forgive as soon as you can stomach it, so that your heart can focus again on the positive. Saturdays are for discoveries, long drives with UR love, accidental romantic moments, and all general activities of togetherness. Sunday morning is for brunch. Real men do Brunch. Think about it~ Two meals in one sitting! That's WIN~WIN.
A woman with a good heart can bring peace to the demons that seem unique to us men. A Woman (as well as a man) with a deceptive way and loose emotions will destroy you, let these people go as soon as you realize their ways. THEY HAVE REAL PROBLEMS, AND YOU ARE NOT THEIR SOLUTION! They do not respect themselves, they do not respect you, and most importantly...They do not respect the entanglement of LOVE.
The Truth is...Women are not hard to understand. They want to feel protected...YES, even if they say they don't need you to protect them. Because it is more than just protection...it is also feeling SAFE and at peace. Our job as men is to provide a steady place for a woman. Once you give that to a women and she feels it deeply....I tell you there is nothing she will not do for you..including that thing she said she would NEVER do.
NOW...let me say this... Once a woman cheats on a man, he will not have any motivation to create that protective environment, nor a safe zone for all her irrational shit. AND GUYS... we do provide a very safe place for some crazy azz women to rant and rave about the most insane things. NEVER underestimate your value in this respect.
Anyway, I actually have all the secrets right here!!! This is how to treat a woman...Give her everything she wants! That's it. But do make her wait once and a while, or she won't respect you. Sometimes give her what she wants right when she asks for it, but other times make her wait a bit. Oh...and sometimes you have to remember to duck, that's important, but in the end all will be ok if you've mixed the ingredients for long-term love properly.
It is possible to mix the ingredients for long-term love properly, I've seen this miracle of respect and love in many. It is OK to take your time in love, if you have time. If you don't have much time, then you must trust me here; Jump Immediately ~ HEART FIRST.


Exercising consistently makes me feel GOOD. Chocolate makes me feel BEST! One drink makes me feel good, but more than two drinks makes me want to feel if you feel good.
Finally, I believe that relations between men and women are clearer than most care to admit. I think attraction and lust are as common as water and air, but MUTUAL LOVE is as rare as a sunset under a full moon. Therefore, one should be very specific and clear as to the nature of their attraction to another;
Simply put, if you must fuck, then fuck, but if you want to love, well then recognize and respect that love has many important ingredients to be mixed, with so much attention being paid to the careful preparation of it. So take care, take time, and always bring to a boil slowly.
Thanks for taking the time to read my babble.
