A french Philosopher once said once said that to be boring is to say everything. My friends have described me as a bit of a Renaissance man, probably due to my unquenchable thirst for new experience and learning.

A down to earth hippie idealist with a touch of traditional pragmatist for good measure. I am actively evolving, learning, complex but easy going, motivated and hard working but need plenty of play. In my spare time I paint, read, write, bang on my hand rums, spend time with friends and family, scope out parts of the city, run amok with my camera, spend copious hours imagining and contemplating the nature of things, watching documentaries, cheesy horror flicks, artsy foreign films and testosterone bursting epics, go to museums and live musical performances, listen to lectures, experiment with cooking, keep fit and in general lead an active life-style.

I strive to experience life as art. Fabricate my reality, like one would fashion painterly strokes on a canvas. Sensually, Mindfully, Passionately. To take great joy in exploring all facets of existence. To dive and surround myself in the intricate depths of, spirituality, sensuality, creativity, and spontaneity. To travel not only throughout the succulent edges of the earth, but to travel to my inner depths, connect to other people deeply and profoundly, to share, to feel, to experience. To take things in, slowly and tremendously, sipping LIFE like a fine wine.

What am I looking for? I'm looking for someone with a great sense of humor and lust for life to connect with on a mental and physical plane. A partner in crime to run away with me on various adventures as well as enjoy the quieter simple moments. Preferably someone to both challenge me and help me grow.

I tend to hold dear certain old-fashioned values which today seem all too vintage: Class, Dignity, Etiquette, Self-control, Honesty, Integrity, Respect and Patience just to name a few.

I don't bite so please feel free to say hello but if I do not respond forgive me please; perhaps you're not my cup of tea. Likewise I realize I may not be yours :)

Only this moment is life.

While I'm looking for something deep and long-term, I'm quite happy being single and am not looking to jump into anything. I prefer getting to know you as a friend to allow things to progress naturally.
