I've traveled greatly, but have never been a tourist. I'm a good listener, but strive to prevent just hearing. I'm intelligent, but quite far from being wise. I welcome change, but smile over simple things.
Looking to meet someone sweet & sexy. Grab a tea, go for a walk, reminisce, and see where it goes. I'm not one to chat online, I'm more about the in-person chemistry.
I'm picky with dating, but at the same time I have lots to offer.

First Date
Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room
Moments of genuine beauty in life are far too rare. It’s amazing to see legitimate wonderment, especially in the strangest of places.
I was thinking about this particular situation today.
A few months ago, I was driving downtown late at night, with a friend in the passenger seat. We were listening to some oldies music, singing and joking, with the windows down and the music pretty loud.
I came up to an intersection where there were two homeless squeegee kids; a guy and girl. I was playing That’s Amore by Dean Martin. The guy looked at me, and we smiled at each other. He turned his back to me, went up to the girl he was with in the middle of the street, took her hand and they began to dance together to the song.
If it had been done in a mocking fashion or for the sake of just causing a scene, that would have been something I would have just laughed, and shrugged off as bullshit, but it was so much more.
When they were dancing, they were looking into each other’s eyes the whole time, if it wasn’t for their physical appearance and clothes they would have appeared to be dancing at their wedding or an anniversary party, in which they were the only two people who mattered at the moment and the spotlight was on them and them alone.
No one or nothing else mattered for that brief moment in time. They appeared to be completely oblivious to everything else around them.
The lights turned green, I waved at them and we drove off.
What I had just seen had caused such a profound effect on me and it took me a while to gather my thoughts. I have hardly ever seen a couple at a club that had that amount of love towards each other, based simply on observing them.
I witnessed a miracle, for lack of a better word. It’s something I would love to see again but I know deep down I probably never will.
I remember in the movie American Beauty how one of the characters videotapes a plastic bag floating in the wind and sees it for so much more than what it actually is.
I don’t think people these days seem to actually stop and appreciate the smaller things in life for what they are.
Look at your life right now and count how many times you have seen genuine happiness.
There are so many times in which keeping your eyes open to see all you can truly see would make such a difference on your overall outlook on life.
The sad thing is that the effect it has is more than you would ever realize, until it actually happens.
