I am inquisitive, covalent, and down-to-earth.
My Self-Summary
Hi! I am a married,
pansexual,
polyamorous,
Buddhist, honest, with a pretty good
sense of humor (after all that, you kinda have to), little hair,
and a pleasant personality.
They say you haven't lived until you've fallen madly in love with a
poly, bi Buddhist. OK, maybe they don't. My wife certainly doesn't
but you should never trust the judgment of someone who doesn't
consider a trapeze essential to a good sex life.
Pottery teacher, father, Aikido student, spouse, Buddhist priest in
training, chemist, meditation instructor, karate student, cook,
woodworker, metalworker, jewelry maker, atheist, Aikido instructor,
polyamorous, and bisexual - all are non-work related adjectives
which are or have applied.
Important influences in my upbring - reading "The Sensual Dirty Old
Man", by Dr. A
What I’m doing with my life
I work as a software analyst, enjoy
martial arts,
pottery (throwing),
meditation (
Zen Buddhism),
cooking,
woodworking, I run a
Zen center and occasionally
teach
Aikido. I
have interests in
Polyamory and
GLBT. Politically I'm a
libertarian, though I'm not
that political.
What am I doing with my life? Interesting question. Hard to pin
down exactly. Aikido and Zen are a large part of my life, outside
home. My wife and I have a good relationship and have managed to
get much closer in the last few years. I was in a triad with a
boyfriend and girlfriend up until about a couple years ago.
I’m really good at
Pottery, martial arts, meditation. Cooking, teaching.
I taught pottery for over 10 years. I've practiced Aikido since
'95, taught at a school I helped run for about half a year. I run a
small Zen Center (one without a building of it's own). I love to
cook.
I seem to be pretty good at debating, probably from years of
arguing with my sister when young.
The first things people usually notice about me
I've a friendly personality, good wit, and an easy going attitude.
That or the glare off the top of my head. I can't always keep those
straight, especially after an extended time in the sun without a
hat.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Books: good science fiction - Enders Game, Speaker for the Dead,
Most books by Ellison, Niven, Asimov, Orson Scott Card, Ursalu K
LeGuin.
Movies: Long Kiss Goodnight, The Crying Game, Usual Suspects, Like
Water for Chocolate, Repo Man, The Thomas Crowne Affair. Many
others.
TV: House, Firefly, Torchwood, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Dead Like Me,
Dr. Who, others.
Music: Alternative, folk, hard rock, even a little metal and
country. I appreciate some classical music, but usually don't
listen to it for long periods of time.
Foods - that about says it. I like most all foods. You'd think I'd
be fat with that attitude.
The six things I could never do without
Love, everything else is negotiable.
Though....
Affection.
Friends.
Sex is nice.
Food is always a plus.
Honesty.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Love, romance, sex, how things work, and creating.
On a typical Friday night I am
There are typical Fridays? I'd heard rumors some folks had them,
but I just assumed that was an urban legend. I'm waiting for the
episode on Mythbusters.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
That I enjoy intellectual challenges, like strange math problems.
Interesting problems arising from real life.
I also know how to knit and like to make soap.
Never actually at the same time, though.
You should message me if
You are polyamorous or can accept I am married, and interested in a
long-term, loving relationship.
