I will expand upon this later, experience has shown me that I should be more specific about what I'm looking for but think I should do that at a later time when I'm more into it - so come back and read on at another time

To whom it may concern, to those I have had communications with in the past yet I seemed to just disappear - I can explain.

Adding on here - all my forum posts seem to be related to football and the CFL in particular - so it's not that Im obsessed and that's all I can ever talk about. I really don't use the forums and really try to stay out of the battle of the sexes stuff so - I guess football seemed a safe kind of thing. Actually, I really don't have an excuse - I do like football but there are so many other things to talk about - I don't know where I'm going here...

First off, I became involved in relationship that didn't pan out - but I wouldn't come to this site during that period - seemed strangely close to cheating for me.

Then I went travelled, meditation, wrote poetry, assessed my meaning and purpose and lack there of. But now Im back and ready to interact with those lovely woman who I once did. (not that Im vain and believe that any even missed me in the slightest - just coming clean - telling everyone how it was - love to talk to you again.

It might be apparent to any one reading this that I am making it up as I go along - adding whatever when the mood inspires me. A little more about what I may be looking for out here: someone who may be just a little complicated, intelligence and a great sense of humour are a must - someone perhaps just a little adventurous - who maybe wants more out of life than what many seem to settle for. Compassion and conviction are a must - to believe it is more important in life to give of ourselves than to take what we can - more important to spread a little joy in the Universe than to simply make sure that her ass is covered. that's about it more or less. That's all I have right now.

Writing to someone just reminding me of something. I am somewhat of a romantic - believe in love and soul mates and all that - so what Im looking for might better be expressed in the lyrics of a song - so here it goes:
'They met in a hurricane/
standing in a shelter out of the rain/
she tucked a note into his hand/
Later he took his car/
drove down to where the beaches are/
he wrote her name in the sand/
never even let go of her hand/
Somehow they stayed that way/
For those *****************/
Made all the stars around them shine/
Funny how you can look in vain/
Living on nerves and such sweet pain/
A loneliness that cuts so fine/
To find the face you've seen a thousand times/
Sometimes the world begins to set you up on your feet again/
It wipes the tears from your eyes/
How will you ever know the way that circumstances go/
Its gonna catch you by surprise/
I know my part - you were there - in everything I've done - you are the one.

Oh yeah - can you name that tune (And the band)? if so - I owe you a coffee.

Here's a clue - song by the same band. Now this one is like a major break up song in my life. After the end of one particular relationship, I listened to this song over and over for like a week (while I drank) then couldn't listen to it again for like a year - but Im much better now - lol.

Okay name that tune:

You say that you're leaving/
well that comes as no surprise/
still I kinda like this feeling of being left behind/
Yeah this ain't nothing new to me/
well it's just like going home/
It's kinda like those sunsets that leaving you feeling so stoned.

Hey hey *******************/
I fell through this crack
and I kinda lost my head/
I stand transfixed before this streetlight
On this cold december night.

I never thought this could happen
but somehow the feelings gone/
You got sick of the patterns
and I got lost in the song/

And out in the middle of lake Ontario/
The same snow is falling/
On the deep silent water/
the great dark wonder
into the waves of my heart
into the waves of my heart
of my heart....

Okay you ladies are very good - naming these songs so I think I have to make this a little more difficult before I go broke. This next song I think is some of the finest poetry you will find in rock music - its one of those songs that gives me those little goose bumps - makes me feel all tingly - can you name this tune:\

The screen door slams
Marys dress sways
Like a vision she dances across the porch
as the radio plays
Roy Orbison sang it for the lonely
hey thats me and I want you only
Dont turn me home again
I just can't face myself alone again
Don't run inside darling you know just what Im here for
So you're scared and you're thinking
that maybe we ain't that young anymore
Show a little faith, there's magic in the night
You ain't a beauty, but hey you're alright
Oh and that's alright with me.

You can hide 'neath your covers
and study your pain
Make crosses from your lovers
throw roses in the rain
Waste your summer praying in vain
For a savior to rise from these streets
Well now Im no hero its understood
ALl the redemption I can offer girl
is beneath this dirty hood
With a change to make it all good somehow
Hey - what else can we do now?
Except roll down the windows and let the wind blow back your hair
Well the nights busting open
these two lanes will take us anywhere... there a great deal more - stay tuned

I figure we could sit down with my Lego and construct a nice little Bistro - you could make nice little French Pastries in your Easy Bake Oven - or if thats not to your liking we could go to the grocery store and thump melons together - either or - its up to you
