About Me

I am passionate about everything I do or I do not do it. There I am in a nutshell.I love art, music and books. I am addicted to books the way some people are addicted to drugs. I love to learn and will attempt to learn anything. As I have gotten older I have observed that my friends who are "getting older" are the ones who think they know everything and have given up on learning. Using this as a criteria of age -- I feel inside like I am about 23 years old. The mirror lies I tell you!!!!I have been acussed of being a musician at times and many of my friend have paintings I have done on their walls. They probably think they suck but they love me and put the painting up anyway. My best compliment as an artist was recently I painted a picture to replace one I had given to a friend in the "early years" and they wanted the original picture back. I was stunned.I love my kids. They are all young adults now but they are great. We have lots of fun together and they think I am younger than they are. They are some of my best work.I love museums, galleries, photography, art of all kinds, music of all kinds, people of all kinds, great food, great wine, just about everything except sports stuff like football, basketball etc. I don't dislike them as much as I have much more interesting things I would like to do.I have decided not to allow myself to give up on the idea of love. I have been severely burned in the love arena by someone I trusted with my life. However, I do not carry this around as baggage and I refuse to be bitter. Life is too short and there are simply too many fun things to be done.

My Interests

Everything and everyone

I'd like to meet:

Historically; I would love to have dinner with Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. They seen like two very cool guys that would be a lot of fun. In the real world, I like meeting all kinds of people. I have never met a person yet who I couldn't learn from. In the Romantic World; a lovely lady with an easy smile, fun to be around, warm, caring, compassionate, honest, high strength of character, willing to try new things and explorer. Someone who doesn't freak out with a little spontinaity (is that spelled right?), someone who is not afraid to hold hands in public or show affection whenever and wherever they please. Someone who felt empowered by our relationship and not trapped or altered by it. Someone with enough courage to communicate honestly and openly, to express their needs and desires and to love enough to compromise when needed without bitterness or a sense of loss. Someone who can look me in the eye without turning away. Someone who would enjoy lying in bed and pillow talking like I was there best friend as well as their lover. Someone who is truely able to commit, heart - body - mind and soul and feels good about it. Someone I can trust to be by my side until the end of time and beyond. A relationship based on total and complete trust and the abilty to trust with confidence. Someone who loves me just the way I am and wants me to thrive as myself. GEE - I DON'T WANT MUCH DO I?
