Father, musician, like to write, dabbler in Zen and Gnosticism. Ex-Army and anti-war, carpenter, plumber, dreamer of a great many dreams. Comfortable with myself. Love alone time. Have not dated in over a year and a half. Looking for someone to compliment not complete me. Contemplative and have a tendency to get too serious at times so laughter is like gold to me. Complete sucker for good conversation and anyone who can make me laugh. I have strong anarchist/libertarian leanings. I believe politics are divisive and violent and drive us away from each other rather than unite us. I do not have faith in the current system and I care nothing for maintaining the status quo. It is time we put faith in ourselves, took responsibility for our own lives, and stopped looking to sociopathic bureaucrats to do it for us. I generally dislike all politicians regardless of party. I am anti-state and anti-war. I prefer freedom over safety.

Myself (else I reckon I wouldn't exist),my son, air, water, food, a purpose, sleep, and friends. Well, that's eight things but I live to break rules.

Plan B (expatriation). Tax protesting the wars. Zen. Gnosticism. Quantum Theory. Homesteading. Starting a garden. Weird and funny stuff. Cosmology. Financial plans. Austrian economics. My next song or piece of art. Stressful plumbing repairs. The old West.

Tucking in my son, watching a good documentary or reading, and when there's cool stuff to do and people to see I'm getting a sitter so I can go out.

I don't necessarily think the idea of romantic partners having separate bedrooms when they live together is a bad one. Sleep together when you want, don't when you don't want. Even in the deepest of love people need alone time and space.

You want to. If you are actually okay with me being a Dad and willing to ask me questions about it before you judge. If you are content with the simple things in life. If you aren't low down and trifling (to borrow from Johnny Cash) or co-dependent. If you do not expect me to grovel or apologize for being a man comfortable in his masculinity. If you're a feminist, that's great, I'm glad women's lib happened, but don't take it to the extent of being a man-hater constantly looking for a reason to castrate me. Also, if you can't respect the natural and beautiful differences between men and women and see that as a good thing that can exist in a state of harmony and equality then don't bother writing me either. I want to enjoy our differences and get to know you not compete with you.
