No, ladies, I am NOT the guy your mothers warned you about... well... maybe a little. I believe that everybody has been given the right to make their own choices. I see the world through my own colored glasses, but I don't mind trying on other peoples glasses (within reason of course). If you'd like to know about mine, I'd be happy to discuss it...
I love music...playing my horn (trombone) is part of who I am. And I believe that music was given as a gift to touch people in the depth of their hearts...
I believe that romance and relationship are inseparably tied together to make life rich, enchanting, and full of joy. Romance without relationship is like clapping with one hand...and relationship without romance can become tedious, stale...and very lonely.
Came here to make new friends, some that might even have a differing opinion about how the world should work. That's OK with me. I love to have fun and laugh...laughing is good...right? :-)
If you'd like to know more about how my mind works...I will have various blogs that I'll loose the power of the mind on...as they say, a mind is a terrible thing to waste, but if you must, waste it in your blog where no one will see it...LOL

The last thing to grow old is the heart. ~ Rocky
If nature has made you a giver, your hands are born open, and so is your Heart. And though there may be times when your hands are empty, your Heart is always full. and you can give things out of that ~ Rousse
The cruelest thing a guy can do to a girl, is to let her fall in love when he doesn't intend to catch her fall...

Music is a placeholder in time...
Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age.
--Jeanne Moreau
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.

--Ursula K. LeGuin
Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings.
--Anais Nin
Your body needs to be held and to hold, to be touched and to touch. None of these needs is to be despised, denied, or repressed. But you have to keep searching for your body's deeper need, the need for genuine love. Every time you are able to go beyond the body's superficial desires for love, you are bringing your body home and moving toward integration and unity.
--Henri Nouwen
Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...
--Neil Gaiman
I love you. It's not a weight you must carry around. I love you. It's not a box that holds you in. I love you. It's not a standard you have to bear. I love you. It's not a sacrifice I make. I love you. It's not a pedestal you are frozen upon. I love you. It's not an expectation of perfection. I love you. It's not my life's whole purpose (or your's). I love you. It's not to make you change. I love you. It's not even to make you love me. I love you. It's as pure and simple as that.
--Anonymous
Nature's pride, fresh and fair, and unacquainted with the miracle of physical love. Her beauty was not made of shapes and forms, but shined from within like the stars
