I've liked this quote since I first read it.
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naïve or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. ---Anaïs Nin---
-------I would hope that she'd push me to be and to feel my best, and be all that I can as well...

"The world is a wonderfully weird place, consensual reality is significantly flawed, no institution can be trusted, certainty is a mirage, security a delusion, and the tyranny of the dull mind forever threatens -- but our lives are not as limited as we think they are, all things are possible, laughter is holier than piety, freedom is sweeter than fame, and in the end it's love and love alone that really matters." ~Tom Robbins

My life has no purpose, no direction, no aim, no meaning, and yet I'm happy. I can't figure it out. What am I doing right? ---Charles M. Schulz---

I can't lie. I like smart, sexy, adventurous women with a sense of humor as well as sensibility. I am looking for a sweet, and independent girl with that special flair. Creativity is very important. I greatly respect self reliance in both men and women, yet I recognize the need to be human and how important it is to love and be loved by someone...

Two Wolves------------ One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil. It has anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It has joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

1/2/09 I'll have to update this... but not today... I need to paint! Paint! Paint!!!

5/14/09 I'm looking for someone to sail with and have fun times on the lake. If more develops... thet'd be great!

5/30/09 The lake is coming up! I'm primed for sailing this year!!!

7/5/09 I'm so glad for the lake coming up and my progress on the remodel!!!
Life's good! I'd love to find someone local to spend time with and enjoy the lake with. I like going to movies, dining out, museums, flea markets, cooking, interesting places and thoughtful people. Music makes a dull day joyous: where words fail, music speaks!!! Rap isn't music.

I'm not the best typist and I've found that one lunch is worth a lot of Emails as far as getting to know someone. It doesn't have the pressure that dinner would and at worst, it's always nice to meet someone and have lunch... I'm a funny, happy guy with a desire to find that special one for fun times and maybe travel.
I love to cut up and have fun with friends but also recognize the important things in life:
'Life is mostly Froth & Bubble, but

Two things Stand Like Stone,

Kindness in another's Trouble, and

Courage in your Own'

I think the first date would follow some phonetime and plenty of good chemistry... Maybe just meet for lunch and a nice walk in a park. I haven't been to the Botanical Gardens in a long time. A real "first date" would be more like going to an interesting restaurant and trying a dish I've never had before. I like to discover new things; it helps build the friendship to do new things together. Maybe share a movie after dinner... Make that a GOOD movie; not necessarily a chick-flick or some war flick, something of interest to both of us. A relationship is about relating, right?

If you made it this far, you may actually be interested to get in touch with some guy... If you're not interested, just say so. Maybe it's the Venus and Mars thing, but it's refreshing to keep it simple and honest. Men and women tend to use different dictionaries I think. :) There are a lot of great guys out there that are not Mr. Perfect, but we'd love to have someone to love. Just try to communicate simply, directly, honestly. You will get the same in return. Isn't that what we all want? I'm very sorry if this sounds sarcastic or has offended anyone, but the number one complaint people have on here is dishonesty. So just be yourself and good luck! Bob
