I am single, once wealthy, and once wise.
My Self-Summary
I am an older. mature single male that once may have been
considered Hot! Now, handsome, distinguished looking.
Unfortunately, in the past I found some admirers were ladies who
loved my hair! I have a good education and a blog I toying with
both with humor and a serious side. I've stated in many profiles I
consider myself to have a "professional type" of career
experience.
I am 6' 1', 190lbs, Blue Eyes, Silver Hair, a keen sense of humor,
dry wit, but sometimes a bit sarcastic. I am willing to admit and
accept my flaws and mistakes and first to apologize when wrong.
Life is too short to be bogged down by "small stuff." Shy by
nature, I find there are times I gather my inner strength, wits and
humor to a level where I can entertain and speak before most groups
if they resemble humans. (LOL)! I have more info on other sites.
Just ask!
What I’m doing with my life
At the moment I view myself "semi-retired" and exploring any and
all avenues of interest, new careers, entertainment,
writing, and
looking for
"new, younger friends with
fresh ideas and
approach to life." I want
to explore
current events, really
listen to younger
friends and hear what they think and experience. At he same
time I need someone willing to listen and show some compassion when
applicable.
They will also require patience as in a quality like mercy (rather
than patients of a doctor or psychotherapist).
I plan to add more to this section as I have just completed a
revision in a My Space place.
I’m really good at
anticipating the needs of a friend when I come close to knowing
them. I like to please people in this way in order for them to be
relaxed, feel comfortable and allow themselves freedom to be
themselves.
There are some other skills I believe I am adept in [writing] (most
times) and those kinds of more intellectual pursuits and
interests.
I prefer meeting men who have University degrees or pursuing one or
an advanced degree. I started as a teacher, could not find a job at
that time, but fortunately my employer (State of MI) finally
recognized some expertise in the area and I was recruited (forced
is more appropriate) into participating in a on again off again
training program that turns out to be the best days spent on the
job.
I am a total novice in most other areas involving tools, painting,
sports and the like. I am more of a Klutz, but a determined one if
it is competitive.
The first things people usually notice about me
I need more time to ponder this question! I really should
ask?
Self-Edit of 10/27/09: I really have had enough time to answer this
question before now. I confess I was avoiding it. The thing that
most people usually notice about me is first how Tall I am, what
age is he from and what the hell is he doing here?
Now one thing that does enter my mind is that for important and not
so important Work meetings and other events, I almost always
arrived "fashionably late." lol
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
A wide-variety of interests in books (bios a favorite), suspense,
dramatic cinema, Independent [Films], Foreign and any that are not
made for the big blockbuster crowd. There are exceptions.
I love all types of [cooking and food.] Right now two of my
favorites are Italian and Middle Eastern.
I am said to be a great cook, but out of practice I believe.
The six things I could never do without
1. Wake up in the morning everyday.
2. Coffee
3. PC and the Internet
4. Sex or thinking about it.
5. Music
6. Film
I spend a lot of time thinking about
How others less fortunate are coping in their lives, how grateful I
need to remind myself of what I do have and looking to [find the
right person] to really go out with a bang, to make even a small
impact on someone's life for the better!
And as of October 27th I might add that the above may have some
truth to it but it is so syrupy that my fingers are sticking to the
keyboard.
I find myself thinking too much about the future and how time is
growing short for me.
On a typical Friday night I am
Attempting to catch up on everything I started at the beginning of
the week or at this writing, trying to finish this up when I now
run three hours behind my schedule of things to do. I can run
anywhere from two hours to two months behind. Really. You can check
my calendars.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I have kept my private life, private all of my life. Well, until
recently. If I can find some common thread or connect, I can open
up and you may find yourself amazed.
You should message me if
you are alive and breathing, serious about your question or
thought, not just for amusement at say my expense. But, sure
message anytime. It cannot possibly hurt, so do not hesitate!
Believe me, if you hesitate and do not take the chance or risk, you
may later regard it to be one of your biggest regrets.
