If you can get past this part of me, you will see there is a lot here... I'm a great guy to know, one with many facets... SO TAKE A CHANCE! oh well.. Just being honest, others suffer from narrow minds.... More to come...

IF YOU SUFFER FROM A CLOSED MIND.... I almost feel sorry for you. If I write and say hello.. be nice.. be polite. I am a man, always will be... I may not be the kind of man you're looking for... but at least I'm honest. If you write something not nice back to me, I hope you are happy in your cookie cutter world. And just remember,,, there's more to being a "man" than acting the part. Get over yourselves. Your loss.

I am a lot of things.... but above all, I am ME.

To see me on the street I look like any other guy. I'm a (young) 40 year old single guy living in Atlanta. This is my online journal... I beleive that friends are a meter of wealth - not material things. In this case, I am a very wealthy person! I have been divorced for over 2 years now and enjoying life again. I am thankful for all the wonderful friends I had to help me along as I started this newest chapter of my life.

I am constantly in a state of self-examination, taking stock of who I am, and what I want. A life unexamined is not worth livinig. I feel I have a lot to give to the world.. just trying to figure out what that is. I can be a little goofy at times, silly, yet serious. I love to travel (though I never seem to get enough opportunities to do it) and have real conversations with real people. Music is more than a passion to me. I love a good laugh, or a good cry with a close friend. I LOVE to cook! I am known for my mean lasagna, chicken enchiladas and soups/stews! I currently work for a state agency, a new career direction for me, and I love my job. I used to work in the wine business - wine is a passion to me - I love the history and culture of winePrior to that I was in graphic design for over 15 years.

I also am known to crossdress, (hence this profile).... but don't let that scare you off....

I am also a....
son, brother and uncle.
an animal lover and dog owner.
a great cook.
an amateur musician/song writer.

little bit naughty and a little bit nice.

Who I'd like to meet:
People who think outside the box, color outside the lines, and like vanilla, but realize that a little spice and variety is a good thing too! People who can accept me for who I am. I would like to meet any open minded people who live and let live. I enjoy chatting with anyone who can appreciate all of our unique differnces, who respect individuality. I would like to make some friends who I could hang out with, share a drink with (in either male or female appearance), or just share thoughts and expereinces. The soul has no gender, and you might find me to be a pretty cool person once you get to know me! There has been some confusion here.. I am happy to chat with and befriend anyone who is respectful... however.. if you're a guy trying to get some... keep moving.. ain't gonna happen here...

I would really like to meet a nice, open minded lady.. someone who appreciates nice home cooked meals, romantic evenings, (must like dogs)... someone who is in touch with their emotions and has a lust for life. I have been VERY LUCKY to meet so many wonderful people here on somespamsite, and hope to continue to meet many more. Anyone interested in getting to know someone who is a little differnt, very unique, is more than welcome to say hello!

I like a relaxed evening over coffer of a glass of wine.. better yet a nice meal and good conversation...
