Give me food, and I will live; give me water, and I will die. What am I?


I'm looking to meet new friends.... eventually i seek the love of my life (first things first). I've been called laid back, intellectual, humorous, compassionate, creative, helpful and at times devious LOL .. I look for someone special who shares my values and wants a lover and best friend for life.

I've come to believe in a mutation of Karma. I feel that nature inherently bites those who bite often..yet forgives those who learn to bite their tongue. I hold compassion for the trials of others, yet stop short of naivety with regards to what transpired as root cause. I like to help those who help themselves. I love soft kisses and talking until dawn. I've felt euphoric love and tormenting heartache (love is better). I love sleeping in on cold rainy days. I love the brilliant bursts of sunlight that radiate atmospheric bouquets from the Phoenician dawn and sunset. I love giving and receiving surprises. I appreciate heartfelt creativity in showing affection vastly more than extravagant expense. I'm fine with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I believe the quality of time spent is a function of the company more so than locale or venue. I know what it is to earn one's way in life. I am a faithful man. I know too many who are not. My family lives close and cares for one another. I'm acutely aware of life's gift and brevity. I feel that we do not exist here and now as a result of random chemical eventualities. I'm mostly conservative with hints of wildness. I communicate openly, honestly and respectfully and seek reciprocation. I make many mistakes... i avoid many more. I'm a great listener and give advice often (as requested). People feel comfortable trusting and confiding in me. ..I respect and protect that trust. I believe relationships take work. I believe that they should not feel like work most of the time. I've felt love for some who never knew. I'm analytical and quirky at times. I enjoy video games, the history channel, the military channel and mint chocolate chip ice cream. My mother asks me when I’m going to get married. I gave her a date to keep her off my back. I need to find the love of my life by that date...or else i'll have to file for an extension :o/
