My self-summary
I need a woman to put me back together. The world is competitive, stressful, complicated, and a bit out of control. I went overseas in the army, in the 1980s it is a different army. But I want to tell you there are more ways to look at life than conservative, Christian USA. Europe is more open about nudity, Muslims are smart, Muslims, Indians, Chinese, and latinos are very competitive. Asia is more open to spirituality, martial arts, and separate time for men to be only with men. There is a difference about sexuality outside of the USA and it has nothing to do with easy sex. ... I should know. I'm a nice guy, got a retirement, no women...blah, blah. Okay, I wasn't born in a small town... Maybe I am a sensitive type that should have gone into Art. But I went into a kind of big business world, and I am through with business now. I want to live peacefully. But I think my intellect might be happier in Asia.

I'm Young Now,
I'm Wild Now,
and I'm Free,
I've got the magic power of the music in me,

-Sung by Triumph - Magic Power

I am a progressive/liberal. I am tough on myself, though I am debt free, I have a retirement. I don't have children or child support. But I never married, so maybe I will be a late bloomer.

I am looking for smiles, trust, long term family, to be accepted and understood. I like eyes, smiles, personality, people that express themselves in an open way. I like women that are thin or shapely, busty or not, a friendly face goes a long way with me.

I am open minded and suddenly think I should look for a mate in Book stores, Libraries, or with advanced college degrees. I can try Fitness, yoga, karate, trivia, Fishing, boating, going to a beach, lake or down by a river....

I am Intelligent and Educated, but I'm just a guy. And life is about making relationships, being loyal, and getting better about communicating with your friends and family.

I think about places with lower health care costs and without state taxes in a Foreign Country. I like Social Life, Social growth, and a healthy lifestyle. open minded about people, culture, ect.,
What I’m doing with my life
I've written a couple of articles on banking and economics. I blog a little in a forum since more people read things there. I go to the YMCA, eat good stuff, cook a little bit, and try some new food. I go to the book store, read crime and detective novels, follow some current events or politics. I like Middle Eastern food as well as many Asian foods, Mexican food, Indian Food or Vegetarian Food.

Retired, I recently visited Ecuador and Costa Rica. I wonder about how to be active and fit, and what I want to learn or accomplish. I'm interesting in news, politics, people, cultures, reading novels, writing, history, languages...and maybe technology.

I'm thinking about living overseas. I like Asia and there is a lot of older culture in Asia. But closer to the USA there are places like Belize, Costa Rica, Panama. In South America there are some places like Uraguay, Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, but they are so large. Maylasia, Thailand, India, and Costa Rica are known for their Health Care quality.
I’m really good at
I can write. I can Travel to other countries. I day dream then write.

I understand the way that government works. I understand the US competition and judgements that brings politics everywhere.

I could cook, plan a trip, I can relate to play time and fooling around with kids. I can play guitar and drums, but can't read music and can't do cover songs. I do like Kareoke though...many people like to sing and it is important in Asia and other countries.

I have an athletic in body type - I did okay with swimming, Karate, and some kick boxing. It seems like I am too old for kickboxing, so I go to the pool sometimes.

I love the Water, looking at Rivers or Lakes, sitting in boat, maybe fishing in a boat or something. I'd like to get out into the middle of nowhere on a boat trip or just to lay back.
The first things people usually notice about me
I always had a young face, but now am getting older. I suppose I am good at being invisable in a crowd till I know some people.

I have blue eyes, but you might notice my glasses need adjusting.

I Like like action movies, and movies about a Dystopian Society:
- Big Trouble in Little Chinatown is good,
- Mortal Combat, Probably not original but an Asian story, a competition story, a human story.
- The Twelve Monkeys, Bruce Willis, nice as SCIFI, good story about homegrown terrorism, politics of big business.
- Fifth Element, Bruce Willis, Seemed like an original story to me, and as a SCIFI introduced new ideas about relationships with alien life forms.
- Blade Runner, Harrison Ford, ahead of its time SCIFI.
- Soylent Green, Charlton Heston, ahead of it's time SCIFI.
- Bullet Proof Monk, Chow Yun Fat.
- 1984, George Orwell's Dystopian Society.
- Gandhi, Nonviolent Change/revolution/evolution.

I spend a lot of time thinking about
I'm thinking how some women are just too young and they don't understand me at all. I am my age and a younger woman would have to have some grace for me to accept her as an equal friend.

Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus. No question. Many guys have to have a garage or basement to go to - to be with themselves or to be alone.

Merging East (Asia) and West (Europe and America). Why don't we as a society or community remember the Vietnam War or ...The Afghanistan War of the Russians and Islamist. Why don't we think of the fall of old Empires like Rome, England, Portugal, Nederlands, France, ...why don't we know the folly of logistical supply lines across the globe.

If we have charity why don't we accept the Buddhist way as equal and good and perfect. Actually we could combine Christianity and Buddhist beliefs to create a better understanding and awareness of the average American Ego. Buddhism was designed with awareness of the corruption within the Hindi Temples in India (as I remember). We see big scandals in the USA in our churches, hypocritical politicians, and in financial managers. Maybe we can look respectfully at Buddhist Institutes, especially since they seem to have escaped the problem of fraud and corruption.
