Hi,
I met someone and was off this site for a while, but I am back. It didnt work out (sad)...but its time to start communicating again. I love people, familiy and nature. My kids are VERY important to me and so is education. Kindness is paramont, drama is not. Listening, loving and understanding are part of my life...being closed minded is not. Laugher and irony and intelligence are good, anger, stubberness, and racism is not.
The fact that I am an educator and cannot spell is very ironic to me.
So is that fact that 50% of people at any given time are wrong about just about everything whe think we know about 50% of the time (that does include me....I think......well, about half the time anyway), but I might be wrong about that too.

I am caring, warm, and twisted

Waiting for someone to whisper quietly in my ear, "Mount me you sensitive artist". Ummm, yaa.....really
I am a counselor/educator and father opening my own private counseling practice. Racing off road, camping, and traveling are always a good things that we like to do. I am working on my land raising apples, pears, plumbs, chicken, goats, and children (maybe not all in that orders....grin).
I am also trying to travel more often. Reading as much as possable and always learning more about myself and the world. It would be wonderful to have someone to grow with, travel with and fall in love with.....and waiting for someone to whisper into my ear.

Listening, empathy, art, Being a father, and racing, Laughing, learning about myself and other cultures, Kissing and using my lips and tounge for others stuff (grin). Being NON-judgemental, accepting other points of view (that does not mean that I have no opinon). Reading, teaching, learning, Cooking. Being pretentious while writing here, wondering if irony is part of this dating thing.

Sparkly eyes, laughter, and my acceptance of others.

Sometimes a great notion, Hitch hikers guide trilogy, anything by Vonnegut and John Irving......and Tom Robbins, Kesey, Hunter S Thompson.....books about earth science and alternitive building or alternitive power
Harold and Maude, Being there, Brazil, anything Python.
Good old hippie music rules always, bluegrass, rare and unknown music, Music that makes you feel and think. Talking Heads, Grateful Dead, Mother hips, Dieselhed, Dred Zeppelin, Del McCurry, Cherry Poppin Daddies, are some of the more popular music I enjoy.
Korean food, any sea food, mexican food (the real stuff, not the americanized stuff!),and Sushi....but not always all mixed together (grin).
Talking Heads, Grateful Dead, Mother hips, Dieselhed, Dred Zeppelin

How it would feel to be in love again and planning for future travels.

How ironic and funny it is that I have a masters in education and I cannot spell to save my soul.
How fast and an unladen Swallow can fly.

very brightly colored Amizonian frogs...and traveling to see tham

The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings butshorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more,but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses andsmallerfamilies, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but lesssense,more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wiliness. We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly,laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, getup too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space.
HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why you pay him/her.2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening,whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil'sworkshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.4. Enjoy the simple things.5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who iswith us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets,keepsakes, music, plants, and hobbies, whatever. Your home is yourrefuge.8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable,improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to aforeign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity. AND ALWAYS REMEMBER: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
I also think about if all the expectation our culture holds to finding a partner and lover and friend are unreachable? Why cant people accept each other for who they are and love someone for all the good things if thier lives. a good relationship is based on perfection or on "saving or changing" another person, but on helping and honoring and loving them for who they are.

Doing something with my children.......camping, working on my race truck, Working a painting or drawing, and wishing I was traveling......but mostly doing family stuff.

I am FAR from perfect...I make mistakes all the time (but I learn from them).....and I sometimes cry at movies (wow...Yikes! I cannot believe I wrote that. However my daughter thinks that is real sweet).
wow,......now that I think about it, none of that is very private is it?
Okay....the most private thing I am willing to admit here is..........(drum roll please)..............
that I am overweight!!!....wait, thats not private either.
ummmm, ok......that I have phone sex with my ex wife while she was in prison. OH MY GOD !!!!!!......really?......No, I am afraid not, I just made that up.
okay, for real now....
I made love with my ex-wife backstage at a Grateful dead concert on top of a stack of spare speakers

You are looking for someone who is real and cares about the world around us and friendship and love and smiles.
You want to know that someone who is a good listener.
Share crazy ideas and have a good laugh or intersting conversations.
or you want to make love on top of a speaker backstage of a G.D. show and you are not my ex-wife.
