Family, Nature, Education ...
eating right, but sometimes eating wrong. days that I dont have to be at work, not that I hate my day gig, but it is still work. I dig a good meal, and the right drink after. I dig making a dent in my "to do" list, but that's just a work thing. Travel motivates me, so does a nice view. I like it when people introduce me to new music...as long as I like it. An active body is important. I need to be outdoors. I should hike more. Running in the mornings is good. So is martial arts.....sounds kinda funny.
I dig grow'n up but never grow'n old.
I'd like to meet:
Somebody that doesnt have a myspace account...jk, but Im kinda serious. People with substance. People that can laugh at themselves. People that can laugh at other people. Other artists and creative types. Walking contradictions. People that can appreciate silence. People with a sense of humor. I duno... You, maybe.....most likely not.
