As the Moody Blues lyric goes..."I'm looking for someone to change my life...I'm looking for a Miracle in my life"...I "keep my fingers crossed" it doesn't take a miracle to happen... but I still do believe in miracles!! Will my Miracle be found here?? It's a longshot...the odds are high, but so are my hopes!!

QUESTION!?...If you were holding up the bar stool next to me (or pushing the adjacent shopping cart), thought I was reasonably attractive and laughed at my clever (I thought they were!!) quips, wouldn't/shouldn't you (we) be compelled to explore common ground??...If not, as the French say, "C'est Dommage", ("that's a shame", for you non-Frenchies)...From my perspective, taking a calculated risk vs. reward is what REAL living is all about!! (that's why I so cherish swimming/diving with sharks!)...It's what I live for and thrive on!! If you're one of those cautious, anxious or judgemental types, I guess you best "sort on" to the next "Joe", ('cause I like to think I'm not your average "Joe", and I'm not particularly interested in meeting the average "Joe-Ette" either!!)...I am willing, to the best of my ability, to assist any motivated "shrinking violet", to "blossum" and "cross-pollinate". To those not interested in "Moi", I do extend my sincere wish you'll find who/what you're searching for (your Miracle!)

I'm 6'0", 205 Lbs., (of solid, "He-Man" muscle! lol!), piercing blue eyes, brown hair mixed with some gray...but, truth be told, I don't have a "Fabio Mane"...I've got the beginnings of a "heliport" developing on the back of my nogin' and my hairline is "gaining altitude"...it really sucks!!...(ever read the book "Into Thin Hair?"...It's a real "Hair Raiser!")...Also, I wear glasses, so if my being a "four-eyes" is an issue for you, I guess you won't be able to "see your way clear" to learn more re my "insights" about life, love and laughter...(but you may be looking through "rose colored glasses" yourself!)

I've embraced an array of fitness regimens since I was of boy of 14...I can run circles around most men half my age...I firmly believe in the concept of "strong body, strong mind" and I'm reasonably convinced I've attained success in both. Most women who've met me appear to regard me as stimulating company, physically fit, not hard to look at, witty, amusing, and aware and intrigued by most topics worthy of discussion. I've been told I can be very engaging, in an inane manner. I'm well versed/fluent in articulate jibberish and coherent double talk. But be forewarned...I don't suffer fools lightly and I won't have a "battle of wits" with an unarmed person!

Some think I project a "Joie de Vivre" state of mind and a "Je ne sais quoi" aura... I do not know what they mean, so I cheerfully ask them to elaborate... Friends and acquaintances have said I have this child-like quality, but I think they're just "kidding" me, or, perhaps it's because I need to be tucked in bed with my "Teddy Bear" (hope you won't mind sharing with "Teddy", if we ever get that far...Why don't you sleep on "it?")... Most likely though, it's because I refuse to "grow up!!"

Others have regarded me as an adorable "nut"...I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other! Then again, I'm not bi-polar, and neither am I! One thing is certain... I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a pre-frontal lobotomy!

I do like my food and drink...(see above statement)... I prefer dry white wines that are either flaccid but absurd, or bold but not impertinent...I also like my martinis shaken and stirred. I have an eclectic and curious palate...I've sampled, and enjoyed many exotic foods...kangaroo, yak, muskrat, raccoon, duck's testicles (not what they're "quacked up to be") and even fruit bat soup!! (nothing to go "batty" over!)

A primal element of my persona is that I LOVE to make people laugh (in my view, laughter is God's "designer drug!!"... it's my Rx to stay sane in an insane world!)...I love to share a good laugh with an engaging Lady...nearly as much as a warm, moist, lingering kiss and all that can follow?...Those blessed with a good sense of humor appreciate my efforts at comedy... I specialize in puns, but I promise I won't "pun-ish" you too much during our first contact!...no promises after that!!!

My favorite hobby is SCUBA diving and underwater photography (the White Shark pic is mine!)...I studied to be a Marine Biologist... I've explored underwater all over the world! My favorite diving is with sharks and other large pelagic (open water) animals... I can recall some of my adventures if you're interested, (or even if you're not!) and almost all of them are true!! Here, locally, I also greatly enjoy skeet shooting (the senseless slaughter of ceramics!), which I'm quite good at, and I have an on-going love affair with my sports car, which I may at times drive harder and faster than perhaps is prudent... (but I think "she" likes it!!)...Would you like to take a "ride" with me??...hold on to your hat and lose your skivvies!!!

My Dream is that I will become someone Special to someone Special...If we ever find each other, I promise I will ADORE you forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ideal "catch" of a woman I hope to "hook" here on POF: attractive... sensual...smart...FIT... needing and nurturing... a Lady who's ready, willing and able to cure my aches and fill my voids...and, more importantly, will need and seek my reciprocity. A friend who will laugh at my jokes and groan at my puns. She'll keep me on my toes and an even keel. Her internal glow will eclipse her formidable external luminescence. Her emotional and intellectual bandwidth will complement mine, as mine will her's. We'll be able to "mind-meld" like Spock could in Star Trek! Our time spent together will always be too short and we will long for each other when we're apart. I deeply yearn to connect with "The Lady" that will join me to re-kindle for us both, those transcendental emotions gone from our lives! As it's said, "you only go around once" or, as a pessimist would say, "you only die once, but it's for a long, long time!

If you've read thus far, my hope is that you have some insights into my sense of humor, passions and aspirations...Thank you! In return, let me extend to you some words of counsel that have proved to be useful in my life's journey:

1- You can observe a lot just by watching.
2- Try not to make too many wrong mistakes.
3- It's difficult to make predictions...especially about the future!
4- It's not what you don't know that hurts you...it's what you know for sure that just ain't so!
5- On a serious note...Happiness will always make up in height what it may lack in length!

Lucky "Fishing"...May you find your Miracle!!

We meet in a mutually agreeable setting (restaurant, cafe, bar, park, museum, traffic light, Home Depot, Pet Smart, aquarium, zoo, skeet field, dive site, post office, political rally, media event, shopping mall, airport etc., you pick it!) for a cup of coffee, a drink, a bite, etc. to discover whether there's a synergy and go from there...easy does it, but if there's "ignition", buckle your seat belt, put your tray-table up and your seat back in the full, upright position!! Hope to hear from "MY Miracle" real soon!!
