I'm a very chill person and a good communicator. I am also silly and a bit wicked, at least in my sense of humor. I'm philosophical in outlook, and I'm growing a lot these days, which is interesting.

Enjoying having little, wanting little. Loving my wife. Writing. Kung Fu. Tai chi. Role playing. Meditation.

Writing. Analyzing. Changing myself. Detachment. Compassion.

Books: The Hobbit, anything by HP Lovecraft, animal encylcopedias, the Power of Now, the Tao Te Ching.

Movies: Dagon. Up.

Music: Anything but twangy country, gangster rap and that sort of metal that's all screaming. I am particularly fond of 90s era metal/rock/grunge ("Glycerine" is a favorite), industrial, some cheesy '80s pop (love "King of Wishful Thinking"), and some southern rock.

Food: Japanese (particularly sushi or sashimi), Indian (lamb vindaloo is my favorite), Greek (lamb shank om nom nom), German from time to time.

Presence

Making the most out of life, politics, science, the nature of the universe and the self, books I'm writing. Wondering how to live without being a wage slave.

I find several conspiracy theories plausible. Isms, including feminism, and identity politics, including racial and gender identities, are in my opinion (foolish as it is) the height of folly, although I marginally subscribe to anarchism.

You are messaging me first. If I wrote you and you liked what you saw in my profile, well, that's good, too. You are okay dating someone in an open marriage.

You live near Foster-Powell or are willing to commute. I use my bike to get everywhere, and I'm still getting into shape for longer rides.

I have "casual sex" listed, by which I mean FWB-style arrangements, not one-night stands, preferably. I'm also definitely looking for people who seen all the BS involved in dating and would be just as glad to be rid of it. I tend to go Dutch on dates, which some might find distasteful, but I will begin paying for those I ask out when guys and gals start asking each other out in approximately equal proportions.
