more about me
I love writing, and reading, music and poetry, history, genealogy and art. Trees and clouds and beautiful people. I enjoy treasure hunting at garage and yard sales for old vinyl records and books for my collection. Also, fossil hunting, hiking, taking long drives on unknown roads, journaling, erotica, science fiction, movies, theater (when I can make it), music concerts and small club venue, swimming, people watching, myspace surfing, travel, family reunions.
I'd like to meet:
People of interesting persuasions who have an inquisitive mind and soul as I do. Show me a person whose mind is bigger than the latest reality TV show or top 40 hit song...with deep artistic tastes for music, art, theater, literature. Show me people with an open, progressive outlook on life, love, friendship and the universe...who are not afraid of the unconventional, or even taboo. Show me a seeker of the Truth and not a sheep follower of vain tradition. Show me smart, funny, loving, intelligent, adventurous, artistic, unconventional yet stable, sexy, exciting, risque, and maybe something new that you have to show.
