"IF THE WORLD IS COLD, MAKE IT YOUR BUSINESS TO BUILD FIRES"~ "BE the Change You Want To See in the World" ~
"
Life is not about waiting for the storm to be over, it's about dancing in the rain!"
I Love To LAUGH, SMILE & Have a GOOD TIME. The Gym, Movies, Wine by the Fireplace with a Good Book or a DVD, Hiking, Driving Somewhere Great- Enjoying the Journey Not Just the destination. Concerts, Wine Tasting, Kissing, Cuddling, Loving, Sharing, Dancing, Snow or Water Sports- I love it all! I'm lots-o fun & sometimes a little goofy... and YES I can spell better than the average beer...oops, bear.
If you LOVE to Laugh, read on, if not, there's Plenty of other Fish out there...(no sticks in the mud allowed) THANKS 4 taking the time to read my novel- I mean profile. A bit more Manners... then I get really Nasty... I'll always take your coat and maybe even hold it when you put it on, (especially if you catch me in a really good mood... which is easy to do). I open car doors, pull out seats, and if you're cold, you get my jacket... even if I'm not wearing one, we'll figure something out.
I grew up with a wonderful younger sister & two incredible loving parents, who always showed us a lot of, (and taught us the meaning of), compassion, warmth, understanding, affection, respect, manners, morals, high values & integrity.
I'm
proud, wise [not just a wise-ass... tho that 2 @ times],
confident, elegant, outgoing, energetic, classy/sassy and Twisted [in a Fun sort of way]... so you better be
Clever, Fun, Confident & Witty, OR... be on you toes at all times(lol)

Alright, you've been warned... continue at your own risk.
(In a nutshell... who am I kidding here... in a 1, 000 page novel)...
[This entire writing a profile exercise is similiar to putting together a resume for a job interview, which is the one time it's OK to brag a little... OK FINE,
So maybe I went a little overboard... ie...
I'm quite a CATCH (POF Lingo, LOL - & so modest about it...
OK, so maybe a lot overboard): Fun, Loving, Confident, Open, Honest, Powerful, Educated, Intelligent, Playful, Real, Successful, Sincere, Committed, Vulnerable Prince of a Man Wow.. that was a [modest] mouthful. OK, enough about ME, let's talk a little more about ME

I'm just as comfortable getting decked out at a Black Tie Affair as I am "Just Kickin' it" in a Pair of Comfortable Jeans or Sweats.
I'm looking for someone who brushes, floses, washes behind their ears, works out (or is active in Tennis or some other sport like Underwater Basket weaving etc.), absolutely Loves Life, is sincere, silly, genuine, fun, witty, kind, cuddly, confident, spiritual, and can be spontaneous, caring, and REAL... not just Real sweet, Real FUN, or Real sexy (which are important) but Real REAL... and if that doesn't resonate with you, there's no REAL reason to read on. A sense of adventure is key, and a Sense of Humor is a must ! A sweet smile & a pair of eyes to die for when you lock on... Someone spiritual & loving...and Beautiful INSIDE & out! A woman who can be Sensual, Vulnerable, Kind and Sensitive at times, yet Powerful and Confident as well... News Flash: (Good News): "These Traits are NOT Mutually exclusive.
Just looking for someone who knows how to have FUN and can LOVE LIFE the way that I do, [and knows how to get silly & goofy sometimes]. Ideally, someone with SIMILIAR INTERESTS, (not every single one of course), but Definitely Not opposite interests either:(Diametrically Opposed... er, um, uh... NO WAY!) Another Big Plus... Somebody who is into Personal Development, Self Awareness & Growth & Has Fullfillment, Love, Abundance, and JOY in their life already [and wants to bring that to a higher level]. JOY is a GOOD thing- My sisters name is Joy~(There's a quiz on all this later, so keep up).
Inner Strength, Peace & Confidence=GOOD.
NOT SO GOOD=Insecure, Needy, Negative, Arrogant, Selfish--if this is YOU, this would be a good time to stop reading the novel & move on). MAJOR (Industrial Strength) Chemistry upfront is fantastic when it happens, but isn't mandatory...it can develop or grow over time... "SOME" sort of Chemistry upfront???... Extremely Mandatory... BUT OF COURSE... U [Likely] Knew or Get That if You Read This Far !!!
One of my most proud accomplishments..."Oh Heck"... BEING A GOOD FATHER... That's code for "Oh Hell"...BEING AN AMAZING/FANTASTIC DAD... but I thought I'd spare you the 4 letter words(and the modesty)~LOL (Did I just say that out loud... this darn keyboard has a mind of it's own)... in any event-it's hard to describe how much unconditional love, a father and daughter, [or father and son], can give and receive, and how much you grow & evolve as a person, shaping & nurturing a little soul, from infancy to adulthood. "I wouldn't trade it for the world"! (I know, I know... how cliche sounding can you get... but it's sooo true)!!! Besides the "DAD THING"- I've been blessed with an abundant, prosperous, fulfilling life with a myriad of proud accomplishments... Ask me Live, and I'll tell you more!!

Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small people who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing. You can do anything in life you set your mind to, provided it is powered by your heart. Every moment in time gives us a chance to love, to learn, to dream... and to become more then we ever imagined. Therefore live for today because yesterdays are over and tomorrows may never come.

Anywhere will do if there's chemistry. Maybe a nice restaurant, or just out for a drink, the first time. You can't go wrong with a Witty, Attractive, Fun Loving gal who likes to Laugh & get silly over a nice meal, or just appetizers, or simply a drink or two...a romantic aura, or even a hike or drive along the coast. A Jamba Juice or Starbucks meeting is even fun if you've got CHARM & PERSONALITY... the possibilities for a good 1st date are endless if you've got any sort of chemistry going (and a pulse) and know how to enjoy yourself. Amazing Deep(Spiritual) Conversation about Each Other, or just kidding around playfully about nothing, (as opposed to long involved gossip about Other People). Lots of talking & LAUGHTER, and IF IT'S RIGHT, oh boy/here goes... "Hand holding & foot rubbing" (Footsies under the table... inconspicuous of course: LOL) AND a "Goodnight Kiss" [and/OR a bundle of hugs... oh hell... a peck on the cheek works too]... Keep 'em wanting more lol!!! PS.. First dates Do Not have to be perfect.. I am a realist (lol)[and sometimes a hopeless oops...HOPEFUL Romantic... Above all~ A FUN Personality & Sense of Humor go a LONG LONG way in Life, Love.. and most definitely on a 1st or 2nd date. If you're dry, drab, low key, overly serious etc.~I'm Definitely Not your guy - like I said before: "There's Plenty Of Fish out there". Best of Luck in Your Search!


FOR FUN... [or on a free afternoon], I love to go wine tasting, on a picnic, to the mountains, to the beach, Gladstone's, Geoffrey's, my pool, a bike ride, Santa Barbara, Vegas, San Diego, listen to some live music, drive along the coast, catch up on a good book, (or a great movie), visit my amazing/articulate 99 year old Grandma in Santa Monica (I think she's gonna outlive us all)~Living in California~ it's SOOOO EASY TO HAVE FUN OUT HERE!
...and YES, I like walking on the beach too... or maybe even people watching at Venice once in awhile... either Venice will do [Cali or Italy... but the one out here is a bit more convenient]... both Venice's are "great", & "you must be too" if you intrigue me enough to share a date where we actually walk on the beach, (Like after a drink [or lunch] at Gladstones or Moonshadows where we're ACTUALLY at the Beach & aren't just talking about it like so many profiles do... If you're just a talker

here... if you're a "Dreamer/a DOER", Let's Talk 'cuz You Rock

(I'm starting to sound like my kids... U Rock [& AWESOME] are big these days)lol. Whether you're a Match 4 me or not~
I truly wish you the VERY BEST OF LUCK OUT THERE in Your Search. I've met some really great poeple already~ hope U do too!

P.S. I can't imagine how crowded our beaches would be, if everyone on this site, who says they like to take long walks on the beach, actually took one.
