good luck to everyone!..i have met some wonderful people here and i hope and pray ALL your dreams come true!!....................

mysterious, curious, compassionate, generous, and kind, on the good side....

with four cats and a dog, all rescued.......i helped a friend with about 22 cats once, all rescued.........i believe in the sacredness of life, even the four legged friends...............

moving to colorado has been a blessing, thank Jah for compassionate medical marijuana laws..........i have seen too many people healed and helped by this wonderful herb to deny its benefits.......

stubborn, independent, moody, needs alone time, can't sleep, sometimes i am up and down 4-5 times, neat freak, and have a low tolerance for incompetency, or at least that is what a psychologist once told me.......otherwise, i make a pretty good house mate...ha!

starting a business, i fell on the ice a couple of years ago and had to have hip replacement surgery which changed the course of my life > semi-retirement > and that's a good thing...............

these are future plans, within a five year time frame, or less for completion....i just moved here in july, so i have lots of work to do around this place to make it a sustainable homestead, off grid eventually. long term.............

please tell me, the suspense is killing me!.............

gardening, listening, telling a joke, making people smile, hugging and kissing, construction (thirty plus years) and i can really stir things up if its needed............ha!................

financial advice, specifically investing in the precious metals market, i was lucky, i cashed out in Y2K and when the world did not end, everything went back into gold and silver........gold was at $300 and ounce and silver around $4 bux..............its still not to late to make a move, the train has not left the station and gold will go to $5000 and silver $350..............no extra charge for this advice...dyodd............

life...............or as mr. dylan said, "i wake up in the morning fold my hands and pray for rain, i got a head full of ideas that are driving me insane."...

my short term thoughts are to get through the winter......

long term are to build a privacy fence, remodel my studio, set up the greenhouse, plant fruit trees, build a chicken coop, and plant a garden.....

love........then it leads me here...........

In the chilly hours and minutes,
Of uncertainty, I want to be,
In the warm hold of your loving mind.

To feel you all around me,
And to take your hand, along the sand,
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind.

When sundown pales the sky,
I wanna hide a while, behind your smile,
And everywhere I'd look, your eyes I'd find.

For me to love you now,
Would be the sweetest thing, 'twould make me sing,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

When rain has hung the leaves with tears,
I want you near, to kill my fears
To help me to leave all my blues behind.

For standin' in your heart,
Is where I want to be, and I long to be,
Ah, but I may as well, try and catch the wind.

friday is like thursday, or wednesday, or monday......................

have a groovy day baby!...............

being semi-retired and soon to be full time student, again, all my days and nights seem to run together.......which is fine by me....no clock to punch....YeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaw!.............

my sock drawer is all messy with unfolded socks......and i lied about my age..ha!...

.....you can get past all of your preconceived stereotypical superficial artificial feelings when you first look at my profile, you may be pleasantly surprised at what a warm and kind person you find............

someone suggested that i join a motorcycle dating group....i asked them why?....they could not come up with an intelligent answer.......

look, i have been all over the world in my 50+ years and at this stage of life,i never prejudge a person based upon looks...i have been fooled too many times and really try to get to know someone before i pass judgement.....and then i doubt i will say anything, whoever is without sin cast the first stone..............
