People say that I am:
|
|
I'm a really nice guy but I'm not always all there. I've led a life that seems very strange to me in many ways. I have a huge amount of true stories I can tell and sometimes I shake my head or snicker to myself when I can tell people don't believe them. Because I've been all over, seen many interesting things, and had people try to sell me on just about everything I'm a very hard sell. Trying to sell me on something is like trying to walk after nailing your feet to the floor. Either I like it, or I don't, trying to change my mind only creates hostility.
I give what I can to be nice and make others comfortable when around me. If they fail to do the same with me or offer something of real value to our interactions I loose interest very quickly.
Unless I'm doing charity all personal relationships should be two sided with mutual benefit.
I react very badly to stress, games, and drama. I expect people to treat me and those in my company with complete respect and consideration. Anything else has a tendency to result in me withdrawing all of my support, acceptance, and tolerance completely. Once someone has created enough drama or told enough lies the only way to get back on my good side is to prove they've changed and that takes time.
I'm not easy to get to know, but for anyone willing and able to approach me with honesty and respect I'm pretty laid back. Almost anyone has a chance to approach me in a social situation, but only people who earn or keep my respect have a chance to spend real time in my home or get to know me in depth.
Anyone who truly knows me (which very few do) can tell you that trying to change my mind about things too much, subjecting me to things I dislike, or manipulate or play games with me is very dangerous. It almost always backfires on people causing problems they never dreamed of, and I'm all for fighting fair, and calling in the big guns when someone declares war by putting themselves in a position of opposition to me.
I've called multiple city departments including the Mayor's office and city council just to deal with a single police officer violating the law by trying to clear people from a public place without reason. (one example)

Things that have bothered me:
|
About internet freaks - If you contact me, remember you contacted me. If you ask to chat with me, then do so.
If you want me to take you seriously, act like you are worthy. Have something worth reading to say, or be a local with a clear picture so I know who you are. If you can't be open and honest about who you are known or unknown, what business do you have talking with someone honest and open like me?
Speaking of internet people, you better be really interesting (amuse me), or you better be a local and willing to prove you are who you say you are quickly. The internet is great for networking but I'm mostly only interested in those that have real friendship to offer. I like life off of the internet, it's much more rewarding.
I can't even convey how tired I am of shallow people, those who are all about what they can get from others, what ways they can figure out to get ahead even when it hurts others ect ect.
I'm a human lie detector. I react badly to lies and manipulation. If it's a white lie that's a shame you are putting yourself on the dishonest list, because all I can't always tell what kind of lies are being told.
Everyone gets a fair chance with me, but it only takes one major slip or a number of small offenses (like intentionally created drama or discord) before I completely lose interest or become disgusted by someone.

I am looking for:
|

Liberal, honest, likes the outdoors, more interested in quality than flash, able to dress down for outside activities, does or has owned footware appropriate for walking down tricky outdoor trails, capable of dressing posh and refined (cleans up nicely), caring considerate heart, loyal and dependable, capable of understanding why if someone runs me through hoops or tests me I blow them off or purposely bomb the tests every time (testing and manipulation are forms of dishonesty), spiritual enough to understand the pursuite of enlightenment and intelligent enough to know the difference between true spirit and trappings or dogma, attractive enough to get my attention, and has enough to do it without looking like a skank, someone who understands the concept of home, and why the thought of giving up one's home to travel around the world, move to a strange place, or just disappear into the world without good reason is offensive.
I really don't ask for much do I? LMAO
Are there still real people out there, or just a bunch of fad following internet posers?

My funniest life experience:
|
|
Although it wasn't funny at at the time imagine traveling at the whim of a woman you love, only to be stared at around four star hotels and resorts by a group of beautiful internationally known women just to wonder what the heck was going on and why they were staring at you.
Is anything truly purely funny anymore?

Cool Movies:
|
|
Serenity and the firefly series is a must see for anyone that appreciates the underlying themes movies have if you look past the glitter and the action. The series sets you up with some strong message and concepts. The movie delivers the final blow. The whole thing is done with complete beauty by a crew and cast that brings a story worth telling to living breathing life. Life and Romance: What dreams may come, It's a Wonderful life, American Beauty, The Color purple, Dances with Wolves, The day after Tommorow, The Marrying man, Fifty first dates, You've got mail, The Princess bride, Joe versus the Volcano, Love potion number 9, Pirates of the Carribian, LA Story, Beddazzled, Twister, The last of the Mohicans (more about Uncas and Alice munroe than the primary characters), In the Time of the Butterflies, Hair, Can't buy me love, Get over it, Eurotrip, Tucker, A man and his dream, and starship troopers.
Children's Movies: Ice Age, Cars, The Little Mermaid, Robots, Rikki Tikki Tavi, Elf,
So far as humor I like Galaxy quest, super troopers, Rat Race, Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy, Scary Movie (1,2, and 3), Boat Trip ect.
Epics: Lord of the Rings, Star Wars
Action: Fifth Element, Pitch Black, Chronicles of Rid , I Robot, Jurassic Park, Lost World, Dusk 'till Dawn (1,2, and 3), .
Suspense: Deep Star Six, Abyss, The Others, A.I., Birthday Girl, Never Talk with Strangers, The Day after Tommorow

I am looking for a personality like:
|
I like honest, accepting, reliable, honest, and good hearted people. I have met a lot of people over the last few years and have only truly liked a handful of them. I have high ethical standards. I do the best I can to live by my standards, and I forgive shortcommings of others until I find that things are unbalanced.
If you want me to be myself, drop all of the socially learned behaviors, games, and BS. Be yourself without trying to convince me of anything, influence me in any way, change me in any way, or get anything out of me and you might just get to really know me.
I truly love cooperative and considerate people. If I have real reason to like you or let you get close I'm likely to be fully attentive, supportive, and cooperative. I can handle groups but getting to know me is best one on one. If you want to have a prayer getting to know me do you really think trying to do so with the interferance of a drama queen, player, or user is going to work?
I think what works best with me is doing something with me. Working on a project, building something, or other activities that allow to people to talk while staying relatively physically busy (even just a walk works).
I am mostly anti-pharma and completely 420 friendly. I believe ethics are more important than law and that any government or government official seeking to allow the harm of the general populace for the profit of private interests (i.e. legalizing dangerous pharamceuticals while making herbs and natural remedies illegal) should be charged with attempted murder, or murder 1. Knowingly approving, administering, selling, or prescribing deadly or crippling drugs is irresponsible and should be considered as an act of murder and public endangerment. Anyone that wants me to be myself has to be able to accept these facts as my philosophy even if they disagree. This is an ethical stance and if you refute it I'm likely to only wish you would have to have your life destroyed by or stand by helplessly while the life of one you love is destroyed by doctors issuing pharmaceuticals that never should have been put on the market. Some of the horrifying truths can only truly be grasped by witnessing them first hand. It is my wish that the entire world could live without having to first hand discover the horrors of what pharmaceutical companies get away with or how dangerous the drugs they sell truly are. Unfortunately, it isn't so easy to get people to understand until they've seen the horror themselves.

Are you willing to compromise in difficult times and situations?
|
|
I've always been disgusted by mega cruise lines. The idea of people just boarding up on cruises to stink around the ocean to engage in artificial travel, fake decadence, and pull into tourist trap ports just seems the most offensive thing around to me. Travel without cultural understanding, fun without substance, and "getting out there" without really getting OUT there anywhere while surrounded by tons of other tourists trying to fill their hours.
I went on one anyway because she wanted to. It turned out horrifically and perhaps I shouldn't have gone, but the fact is I loved her and I tried to do it anyway. Travel involving Airlines, cruise lines, and every other system of mass transportation or recreation where they pack you in like sardines is pretty much a bad idea with me unless you know the key to keeping me happy, satisfied, and distracted from the people surrounding me.

Willingness to meet others from boM:
|
|
Not very, I've met a lot of people over the internet, and the only serious request I've had here was some freak saying oh chat with me, then acting like she didn't know who I was and was asking me what I wanted plete game player BS.

Are you ready to start from scratch?
|
|
I have a closet of clothes from a previous relationship that I could destroy, but they are such nice clothes I've been hesitant. I suppose I could find the right person to give them to
I have a nice house in the city, and I've always thought it would be nice to share it with someone either roomate or lover. I was always happiest with people around. I'm prety open about recreation activities until they get too shallow, too obsessive, or too fake. If someone can't talk about anything but the latest bands as an introduction they are barking up the wrong tree.
Compromise is just that and anyone that wants me to try some new things they like better be willing to try some things that I like as well. I'm firmly rooted where I am if anyone wants me to travel they have to understand that is a compromise for me, and how I'm very particular about HOW I travel.
In many ways I am starting from scratch with my life. I've burned out on a lot of things in life and I seek what I actually still like. In other ways such as a stable home I can always go back to I'm very stubborn. I'm always open to trying new things that sound worthy and I've changed over the years depending on who I spent time around and what their interests were.
I can be happy doing almost anything in the world if I'm around the right people and treated being treated with honesty and respect.

My typical day:
|
My daily life isn't very interesting unless you are really bored and it's none of most people's business. I make a good latte and enjoy it most mornings, what I do after that varies.
I do volunteer work from time to time, usually for private entities because I dislike doing anything officially. I used to love going to private festivals but haven't in a long time. I like medium weight camping (most frills minus electricity). I go to drum circles and sometimes provide extra drums for community use.
|
|
My Wish List Includes:
|
I'd like to travel some of the U.S. roadways and see if any sites or cultures inspire me while I'm still young enough to do so without crippling pain. I love camping with the right group in a location where it's safe to leave your campsite unguarded.
I've always wanted to spend some time on sailboats.
There is a small footprint trailer I'd like to see developed for base camp, disaster relief, and third world humanitarian use. Most commercial interests and aid organizations use bulky high dollar solutions for sanitation and cooking. I'm interested in something that self empowers the people.
Most people seem to have goals or desires that are so simple but I've found the dreams I chase are those that some never reach. I dream of social groups where people are honest, trustworthy, and considerate of each other. I wish for a relationship of mutual caring, consideration, honesty, and satisfaction.
I've been told some of my ideas are utopian, but I remember growing up in a world where people treated each other better and were more self responsible.
