I am a man who has been around the block a few times. I have been many places and have seen many things. Some of them good and some not so much. But I have no regrets in my life because everything that has happened to me has been a learning experience. That is why I feel I am a well adjusted, secure, confident man who can adapt to just about any situation. Life is a bowl of cherries, just spit out the pit and grow a new tree! Everyday is an adventure, you can make all the plans you want but, you never know what is going to happen until it happens. I work at being calm, cool and, collected and when things aren't going so well, I laugh. I find the humor in things so things won't bother me. And when they do, I walk away. Life is too short to be angry or unhappy. I'm not saying that I'm perfect and that life doesn't get to me sometimes, but I get over it real fast.
I don't consider myself to be very religious but, spiritual. I have gotten to the point in my life where I believe a lot of what all of the other isms teach are a good way to live. That the basic premise of them all is love. Love comes in many forms, there's love for oneself, for family, for friends, nature, life and that one special person. I believe that love makes one whole. That it leads to open mindedness, caring, giving, and humility. It also brings balance to life.
Romance? I have a secret. The way to a woman's heart is all the little things a man does that separates him from the boys. Little things like, a note nest to her morning coffee, a foot massage at the end of a long day, whispering sweet nothings to her, a text just to say good night, looking deep into her eyes and then a smile... there are so many things I would like to share.
Activities? The list is far too long to list them all here. The sentence would go on for a very long time with lots of comma but, here are a few; [skiing, fishing, outdoor concerts, traveling, BBQ's and, hiking]. I don't think that there is anything I wouldn't try with the exception of bungee jumping or bull riding, that's just cray talk. Jumping off of something with a rubber band around your ankle doesn't sound like fun. And when you see a picture of me, you'll understand why I don't belong on the back of a bull,lol.
Interests? I like to learn. I like to know whats happening. I want to know about different cultures and exotic places. There are so many things to understand and to see.

I am Great, full of life, and REAL

My life is an adventure. I detest being bored so, I find new things that hold my interest and learn what I can. Right now, I am finding new things about San Antonio Texas and liking what I find. I am also a student of psychology and philosophy and some day will earn a Masters degree in psychology and become a therapist. I would like to help young people learn how to figure out life's mysteries.

I believe that we all are good at many things and are very good at maybe a few. For me, I excel at teaching. Over the years, I have acquired a wealth of knowledge that I enjoy passing on to others. Another thing that I am very good at is skiing. There is nothing like floating down a mountain with the cold brisk wind in my face that brings a lot of joy to me. But, what I am the best at is making friends and getting anybody to laugh.

That I am very open and am able to strike a conversation with anyone. They notice that I take a genuine interest in what they have to say and that I have a nice smile.

I have read many books and have enjoyed most of them, I call them "brain candy". However, the one book that I read over and over is "Life 101, Everything we wish we had learned about life in school - but didn't" by Peter McWilliams. Awesome. Favorite movie, the original King Kong with the new one a very close second. I am a classic rock man. It's what I grew up listening to although, I do like to listen to almost any other genre of music. And as for food, there isn't much I won't eat. I may be skinny but, I love to eat. If I had to pick a favorite though, it would be Japanese.

1. A good laugh.
2. A close friend.
3. Finding something new to learn.
4. The touch of that special woman.
5. A job.
6. My phone.

This is a tough one. Only because my mind doesn't ever seem to stop. I am always thinking about something. I have learned though that if I have a choice to make, I think about what all the consequences could be to the choice that I make. I guess you could say that I think about the future quite a bit.

When I am with some one, I like to at least go out and have dinner. But, usually I am at home.

I'm sorry but I don't know you well enough to share any of my secrets yet.

You want to get to know me better. Have any questions, feel free to ask. I will answer them honestly and completely. You like my profile and not just my picture (which really isn't a very good one at that). You are willing to take a chance and meet a great guy, Man.
