I can accomplish 'most' of what I imagine and, that's fine.
I am a father and grandfather. I participate in my children's lives and, they in mine.
I've been janitor and engineer, geek and artist.
I've been husband and, Mr. Mom.
My relationships have all been long.

I'm a photographer and consultant.
When I can make a bride cry after her wedding, it's a good thing, really. That tells me I'm doing it right.

I work often with various 'biker' communities across Southern California. The outreach they perform fits my model of human kindness in action. Pay it forward if you can.
I'm just as likely to be the IT guy as the community photographer.

My appearance, then, my hats.
edit: It seems that little else is first. It takes time.

Science and science fiction. Bradbury, Asimov and, Hawking.
SciFi and action films, Love stories and horror movies. Blade Runner put all of it together.
Reggae and blues music, Rap and industrial dance. Late 60s acid to current pop. Ballads can make me cry.
Yes, food. Aside from Kimshe.
I will read anywhere, but my favorite location is close to the beach. Anything within feet to yards from the water and waves.
The only rooms in my home without books are the kitchen and, my office.
I read REDDIT's front page in my office constantly (about a year now). For news, the community of redditors seem to be a day or so ahead of anyone else, for social and science information, they expose me to much more than I would find in my not so random internet surfing.
When driving, audio books and podcasts might be filling my head as likely as as NPR, the CBC or music from KCRW.

The conflict between rational and irrational ideals.

Stargazing.
When free time comes along (way too often), I will be doing sidewalk astronomy until the wee hours, sharing the sky, my paltry cosmic knowledge and, friendships bound by the wonder of it all.

You cannot imagine the rush one gets just being there when someone exclaims out loud at their personal first look at the planets.

Edit: many of my +80% OKC matches are teaching, so my new position has to be that you do understand the 'rush', else, why teach.

I'm afraid of June bugs. I have anecdotal evidence that they know my fear.

You want conversations that might go beyond the weather and sports.
No sports awareness at all.
I have to create an edit here. I am asked each time I'm visited, while stargazing, "how often are you doing this?". My answer, "When it's clear", which sadly, it's not often so, on the coast.

Therefore, I do believe, I 'might' be obsessed by the weather. I won't mention it if it offends you, unless it is clear.

But, if you want to take things somewhere else, I can hold my own on current events, global politics, national politics, prop 8, 2012, bigotry, bias, woodworking, sewing, baking, parenting, physics, programming and, more.

So little is black or white. You should message me if there is no 'One' answer. Or, if there is, I would like to know it.

When I don't know, I will ask. If I feel I can still contribute, I will guess and say so.

If an attentive partner, who desires that you be true to yourself, is who you would like to share time with then, press that button.

If, during the bicycle ride, a willingness to stop and watch a pelican soar, is more important than getting there NOW, then certainly, press the button.

If you can hold hands in public, cuddle in public, you should ...
