Seeking my Sine Qua Non !
The 'other' s-word ( soulmate) people use doesn't quite do it for me.

Warning- there is reading involved! If that's a problem for you,
bail now& go play Farmville, or Tweet something.

I'm a complete open book, ask me anything!

I guess above all else, I'm an Artist, it's the point of view I see things from. It's what I like to do when not being forced to work some paycheck soul-crushing job.
Other than that, I'm goofy, funny, playful, irreverant, sarcastic, blunt, loyal, honest to a fault. I'm stable and mellow while still full of passion and drive.

For me life is an adventure- I grew up in a bland, grey, boring polluted place (Cleveland) I was determined to escape from,& I did!

I'm a big time mystic dreamer, but also funtional and useful. I'm a bit smarter than average, but no genuis.. I'm faithful, affectionate, articulate, I cook, work on cars, sew, can do actual massage- I'm a great attentive, affectionate, tactile, unselfish lover... what else do you want!

Enjoying it, doing my best to not be stressed out!
**(Update: I'm going to Taiwan to teach English& I'll sort the M.A. in Art from outside the USA)****
What, you want specifics?? Well, at the moment- I don't really have any. At some point, I'll get a Masters in Art, how when where.. not sure. I had assumed I it wasn't an option open to me, but now it is. My goal for the MA is to teach Art in a Uni somewhere exotic. So, I might just take off somewhere to teach English while doing the MA online. Or, I might get lucky & find a program somewhere, get accepted& attend& teach there. It's just part of the advernture! Who want to come along?

Well, we'll just have to meet for you to find out! Oh, um -sorry had to get my mind out of the gutter...

Repetitive tasks that would drive the average person batty. "Seeing" color/ light/dark contrasts. Photography, Photoshop, paint, lapidary/ stone carving. Most everything that requires fine motor control..

As far as relationships, while my thought process may be a bit "odd", I'd like to think I communicate rather well. I don't really have the specific long-term memory for lies/ deception- some find my honesty a bit off-putting.

I am funny as hell! Have I mentioned that??

Probably a mix of my feral curly hair and my green eyes.
After that, people are having a harder& harder time believing me that I'm really as old as I am.

Rumi, Bradbury, Hess, Heinlan (sp?)Rilke, Vonnegut, Watts, Thich Nhat Hahn Shunru Suzuki, HAGAKURE, More often, I like non-fiction stories, "The Professor and the Madman" "The floating egg"& the like.. Movies, I like comedy, timeless films, older films...The Third Man, Film Noir, dark movies like "Mother Night", "Unforgiven", "Network" (no, not "the" network, just "network") Great comedy-"Anchorman","Airplane", "The Jerk", Music?? Yes please& just about everything except things w/drum-machines.. Zappa& the Mothers Of Invention, Cash, The New Mastersounds, Medeski Martin& Wood, Jello Biafra in all his incarnations, Velvet Underground, Lou Reed, early Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, Old Crow Medicine Show, Oysterhead, Les Claypool, Beastie Boys, Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead, Phish, Wu-Tang Clan, The Morgantown Rounders, The Cheiftains, Prydin, Reytoro, Leftover Salmon, Metallica, Living Colour, Abagail Washburn, Beck, Black Keys, Blind Corn Liquor Pickers, Billy and the Boingers, Blind Boys of Alabama, Bob Marley, Brobdinian Bards, The Budos Band, The Clash, The Clinton Administration, Cowboy Junkies, Crosby, Stills Nash and Young, DETHKLOK, The Disposable Heros of Hip Hop.. I could go on& on.... I did just look at the 'ol Itunes there when I got all alphabetical; I didn't list "Billy and the Boingers" because that's something near& dear to my heart--just wanted to show some variety!
( ** Big nerd-bonus points if you even know Billy& the Boingers!! **)
Food-wise.. I have gone from a picky eater, to rather adventurous. I'd like try to 'weird' things, I have eaten many different creatures so far.. Rattlesnake was the best. Actually, these days I'm Vegetarian. It's more a taste-thing, and not a total, for the rest of my life type of situation.

Well, strictly speaking, Oxygen, H2O...

Must be an aspergers' thing, oddly/poorly worded things get me distracted.

So, showers, music, sex, sunny days and well, you?
See, that's just five.. I'm pretty easy to please!

The fact that we are made of empty space..

Don't really have a 'typical' Friday nights!

What, you want more?? Ok, well this is actually a bit important. I can deal with crowds, rude people ect- but I am more empathic than I'd care to be. I can hide my annoyance, most times..So, I really don't care for 'nattering naybobs of negativity', stressy or drama-filled people. If you are always having drama, yelling and screaming, ect- we're probably not a good fit. Not to say I don't like strong personalities.. I can't be with a meek wallflower (I can't trust a timid, or slow-minded person). Just not someone who creates& thrives off constant quarreling. I literally find people like that tiresome to even be around.

If you want a funny, smart,communicative, cute, loyal man.

If the idea of living in an other country sounds awesome, followed by an other.
If the idea of moving via plane appeals to you.
