I am an artist, naturist, affectionate, intelligent, open minded, eclectic, esoteric, eccentric, atypical, outdoorsy, social liberal, and a computer person. Generally, I am a humanist, liberal, and libertarian. I would have no problem living a naturist life on an organic farm, sculpting stone and wood, painting, and drawing. I like swimming year round, sculpting, drawing, photography, and genealogy. I like to give and receive massages. I carve stone into sculptures, although I still carve wood and sculpt in other materials. These are just a few of my many interests.

I am looking for safety, comfort, and peace with another. Loyal friends for each other - best friends. Wanting each other rather than needing each other. To complete each other. Someone to do things with, such as swimming, creating art, walking, hiking, bicycling, concerts, movies, eating out, camping, going to the beach, etc.

Life is short, play naked.

Everything in moderation, especially moderation.

Do what you will and harm no one. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Etc.

"They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." --Benjamin Franklin, February 1755.

Do not lead, I may not follow. Do not follow, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend. --Unknown

No one should die because they cannot afford health care, and no one should go broke because they get sick.

Politicians, like diapers, should be changed often, for the same reason!

Also, classical, jazz, reggae, Latin, world, indie, ethereal female vocals, trip-hop, and many others. Some hip-hop is okay but I don't like rap or most country. There is a lot of music that I like but I don't know who they are or what genre. I know what I like when I hear it and I listen to it.

Food: Lasagna and pizza, especially if it's spinach/veggie. Italian, Greek, Mexican, Chinese, and anything with a lot of veggies. Brownies or almost anything chocolate. Cheesecake. As long as it's not spicy I'll eat just about anything, anything that doesn't eat me first. Did I mention lasagna?

A towel, dark chocolate, music, swimming, freedom, a creative outlet, naturism, and sunshine. I know this is more than six. I may have a bit of rebel in me, or not.

42. My towel. Why. Why not. The past. The future. Going back to school for another degree: more computer stuff, neurology or other medical that would benefit other people such as medical imaging (radiology, MRI, sonograms, etc.). Maybe get Water Safety Instructor (swimming teacher) and lifeguard certification. Relearn the guitar and ASL. Riding a bicycle again. Social freedom. Everything. Nothing.

Yes, I am. If not, then

If you are prepared to take a chance you might get to know the inner me. Or if you feel like it.
