OK...now, let's understand one thing first...I'm NO Adonis & you're NO Aphrodite. Are we good w/ this?? (lol!) I am!! My pics tell you what I look like...and I DO look like them. BTW...I'm amazed what 'average' & 'atheltic' mean by everyone's personal definition. ~s~

I'm the guy in an antique mall who quietly winds up an antique alarm clock in somebody's booth, sets the alarm & walks away to watch what happens when it goes off! Life's too SHORT not to have have some fun!!

Love this lil' ditty...

"Dance like it hurts.
Love like you need money.
Work when people are watching."

(lol!) ~s~ ...'tiz twue, 'tiz twue!!

I'm content w/ my life and have been for awhile. That doesn't mean I lack ambition or do not want to see my name at the top-of-the-page. I love what I do, both professionally & personally. I have learned to follow my PASSIONS and been rewarded beyond measure by doing so. It took some time to realize this but that's OK. Now? It's not always about money, sometimes there's another...more personal reward to be had. I understand some of you won't "Get" this...

I REALLY enjoy creating beautiful gardens, both for myself and for others. I can pull in hummers, butterflies, toads, anoles & lizards w/ ease (...the rewards from being organic!!). When was the last time you enjoyed watching the life cycle of a butterfly?? Even my cats enjoy hanging in my garden...and NOT because it's a cafeteria for them! ~s~

My completed level of education is a Bachelor of Arts in English Lit, I'm short my thesis for Masters in Landscape Architecture...so you now understand I'm well-educated. I also know & practice all the social graces. Why? Because I enjoy them.

I like exploring new places, doing things I've never done before & experiencing new people wherever I go. And...if ya haven't noticed by now...I've a pretty good sense of humor too!! ~s~

Beaches, mountains & deserts, the LA/TX Gulf Coast & the TX Hill Country are favorite places for me...and I try to go to any of them whenever I can.

Another verse I love to read;

"There are two things to aim at in life...
First, to get what you want;
and after that, to enjoy it.
Only the wisest of mankind
achieve the second."
- Logan Pearsall Smith

Here's the 'kicker'...I'm a REALLY nice guy too! Yeah, that's right. And I have no intention of changing...no matter how many of you don't "get it" about NICE guys!! ~s~ We really DON'T finish last! (lol!) ~s~

Kinda loose on this 1st meeting...I'd prefer drinks in a comfortable atmosphere.
