For friends, I'd like to meet someone who has a love for good movies and good books that reveal the immensities of human nature. Someone who can feel good with music, art and the subtleties of life. I would love to travel together, take camping trips, go horseback riding, swimming, snorkeling, walking, hiking, rock-climbing at Enchanted Rock, picnics, hot-springs hopping in the West, go to movies, and experience new things I have never done! I like women who are earthy, yet neat in appearance! Someone who isn't afraid to get dirty, and isn't afraid to dress up, someone who is comfortable in her body. We respect each other's individuality and sometimes each of us does our own thing knowing fully well that our partner loves us and trusts us. We also love the closeness we feel together.
I like good ol' rock'n'roll, new age music, reggae, international music, a little country, The Austin City Limits Music Festival, music venues at Auditoreum Shores, South by Southwest. Basically like most music -- anything with a beat. If it is boring, I usually change the channel.

(dog movie), Speed, Terminator films, Lord of the Rings, X-Men, Independence Day, Jumanji, Harry Potter, Dave, The Mummy, Indiana Jones, etc.... you get the picture! I'll even look at chic flicks if you are beside me.
I have no time looking at TV since I started helping out on the family acreage. I have a TV but use it for videos and DVD movies. I haven't watched any prime time thing on TV in about six months.
