"My philosophy is kindness" - Tenzin Gyatso

I would probably meet you in an establishment which has some "atmosphere", but when left to my own devices, I tend to inhabit dives. I seek out the grit which nostalgically reminds me of the way the town used to be when I moved here in the early '80's.

I usually date women in their thirties. (Apparently I'm still reasonably attractive for a middle-aged fart). I have been single off-and-on for the past couple of years, and the women that I've met online who are close to my age range (actually, my preference) have all split with me because I did not meet their minimum income requirement, despite the fact that I normally work more than full-time. (Did I just write that? Hello, empty mailbox:)

Trying to become more empathetic, and learn as much as I can in this lifetime. Self-employed massage therapist with independent contracting as a sideline. I help people and make no apologies for my lifestyle. My theory is that once a person reaches a certain level of self-awareness, it is extremely difficult to slide back into a state of greediness. (For the record, I am nowhere near that level myself!)

darts, massage, driving, cooking and editing.

Probably my hair, it's "crazy" (maybe I'm not giving people enough credit... nahhh, it's the hair)

My tastes are really eclectic and I'm going to assume you don't want to read a laundry list of titles. I'm currently reading "The Golden Bough" by James Frazer.

OK, I'll try to pick ONE fave in each genre. Talk about Sophie's Choice (the choice, not the movie:)

Book: Lord of the Rings
Movie: Aguirre, Wrath of God
Show: Arrested Development
Music: James Brown
Food: Anything, as long as it's Thai

Mystery, exploration, friends, nature, a cool city, and books

listening to my loop tape of "No Woman, No Cry" while being harassed by my cats.

I'm a great kisser ;)
