Complex, complicated combination of the deviant and traditional. Sometimes moody. Often opinionated. Masculine, butnever macho. Married and divorced twice. Single now for way too long.
Not a follower of the supernatural. Love of nature, respect for the sciences, appreciation of the arts & intimate connections with loved ones is allof the "religion" I will ever need. Creative and artistic. Libertarian & tolerant. A freethinking independent who is somewhat introverted, but prone tomoments of hilarious extroversion. Playful with a taste for wicked, irreverent humor. A frustrated romantic.
Dislikes: Snobs, Fakers, Friend whores, Spammers, Hypocrites and garden variety ignoramuses. Distrustful of government, corporate media and organizedreligion, which in particular, I believe, does far more harm than good in the world. Suspicious of those who feel compelled to force their philosophy orlegislate their morality over others. Opposed to the current neo-conservative presidential administration and the insane militaristic interventionist foreignpolicy it promotes throughout the world and the continuing assault on our civil liberties within the homeland.
I am passionate about Road Cycling - especially long winding rides in the country and strenuous ones up mountain roads. I love bombing down a supersteep descent! Cycling is a great way to exercise, explore nature, challenge yourself, and find inner strength and peace. Big fan of American and EuropeanProfessional Road Cycling and all of the races.
Music: The most interesting, creative and innovative work is being done within the modern "Electronic Music" arena and its many sub-genres. I willstill on occasion listen to Jazz Samba, late seventies Bowie, 1930's Parisian Swing, Dirty Blues, Sixties garage punk and Classical, particularly Baroque andits master: Johann Sebastian Bach.

Reading a great book from start to finish in an evening. Astronomy. Politics. Psychology.Lively conversation with intelligent, creative and funny people. Strong coffee. Dark beer. Red wine. A good joke. Interested in Exotic Erotica, Dadaist,Situationist, Surreal, Italian Futurism, Bauhaus school, Constructivist and Pop Art. Spending lazy rainy Sundays reading the papers.
