How did people our age end up having this as the way to meet each other? Whatever happened to party lines, or crank calls, or the odd, flirtatious glance across the room? Or the random pause in the local HEB? We could always find each other in the most unusual places. Anyway, it's 2009 so here goes..

First and foremost, I'm a man not a boy. Like Kevin Costner said in 'Bull Durham' "After 24 years in the minors, I don't try out." With that being said, if you're looking for a boy - girl relationship, pass me by. However, if you’re a woman, along with all that term can imply, and you're tired of being in a youthful relationship, feel free to contact me. I listen, learn, love, and enjoy all that life can give, and would expect the same from a like minded spirit. I'm low maintenance, and would like to meet someone of similar qualities, though I'm not above a sincere comment on your beauty and style, as long as its returned once in a while.

Intelligent, educated, somewhat opinionated, always on the funny side of the street. I can be goofy to intense, given the right venue to express myself. High Tech personality, with a fun side that borders on the fringe of society. I can laugh at all that life brings our way, love the things we cannot change, read converse, and understand, and I'm always faithful to the one I'm with. Though I've had my wild side, ;o. I'm comfortable in my own skin, and very comfortable in any social circumstance. I've met world leaders, and world creepers. I've lived a very diverse life. I've driven 2,000 miles in under 19 hours, though I'm considerably slower now. Born in the year of the Tiger, I possess many of the qualities of the same. Cursed with intellect, many people find me hard to decipher, though I fit well in all settings, and all groups. My favorite movie of all time is "The Razor's Edge" with Bill Murray, "Everafter", "Dazed and Confused" (My early life as seen through a camera) and I loved "Joe Dirt" as well. Some of my favorite books include "Freakonomics", and "Worse than Watergate", “Why Orwell Matters”, and “The Art of War”, though I'm versed in many other tastes as well.

Though I can participate in any sports activity, my game is darts. I love the competition and math aspect of the game and have competed on the international level. I love movies, reading, and maintain a wide variety of interests. I suffer from Cedar Fever, though it looks like I've found the cure. I carry the experience of life, as everyone our age does, though not everyone can see it. We've made it this far in life for a reason, to go on. I live my life, and want someone to share my time with. I'll have a drink only on very special occasions, but don't mind if you do at all. My past makes me highly friendly, but again, don't mind either way. Let's meet up.

The woman I seek is capable of love, anger, joy and sorrow, or any combination of the afore mentioned, or add your own. I'm looking to feel the breeze across my face as we wind through the hills, or pass the time away watching a meteor shower from out in the country. I can deal with hippies, prom queens, political activists, professionals, parents, loners, flirts, lovers, independents or social gadflies. Must love animals, I have a German Short Haired Pointer who is a rescue and a handful; see Agatha Christy, dog of mystery. We're a package deal BTW.

Please have an open mind, and not one who deals in absolutes. The world is a very big place, and you never know where the next big thing will appear, or where life will take you. Adventure and fun are not mutually exclusive, and neither is work and sorrow. We'd all like to be somewhere else from time to time. I'd just prefer that you spend most of your time in the here & now. If you've read everything I wrote, made it this far and aren't clicking to the next profile, take a chance at having a wonderful time on this planet, and let fantasy time be what it is, an excuse for chocolate.

Ladies, please feel free to drop me a line when you actually read this diatribe. It would make my day to hear from you and see if anyone actually read anymore.

Follow-up:
Just because you've read this far, it does not mean that you know me. Just like I could never know the complexities of knowing you without meeting and spending some time with you. This is just an introduction as to who I am. I am not an astrological sign, or all the rotten habits of your ex rolled into the next bad chapter of your life. The real me is a more complex and intriguing person than a few paragraphs form an internet personals site could possibly show. I would expect the same from you as well.

You can shrug off the usual constraints of societal criteria. Drop me an E-Mail, startup a conversation. Break the ties that bound you to previous false relationships, and begin the new era of communication. I won't bite, unless that becomes necessary to defend myself... LOL

Let's get together and see what our life experiences have brought us to. I can enjoy any situation, so set us a course to follow. Or not, I can choose a place as well. LOL
