Friends - True friends last a lifetime, throughout good times and bad.I believe that a relationship involves communication, chemistry, physical attraction,mutual respect for each other, shared goals and dreams..........especially dreams and not necessarily in that order. One thing that is very important. I've been online for a number of years now and I have found that it is very easy to misrepresent oneself in this medium. You like your parents, have lifelong friends, that sort of thing. I'm not out to change anyone. I want to meet someone who is honest, has integrity, is non-judgemental, likes to socialize, has an open mind about spirituality without having to go to a mega church to prove it and is not a chickenhawk with yellow ribbons on their vehicle. No games, no fantasy-mass-media-hype-cyber-space delusional reality show or soap opera addicts here. mspobj type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="355" width="425"
Live music is the best, from Celtic to R&B to country to bluegrass to jazz. Music is the rhythm of life and can elicit emotional responses and heal the soul.
