I’m an old school punk rocker/new wave/alternative guy that has settled comfortably into main stream middle age. I like my job. I 99% guarantee it is in a field you would not be familiar with, and I can bore you for hours on end talking about it if you wish. I'm not a religious person, but I’m O.K. if you are. I could not buy into the whole "faith" concept. I guess I am holding out for empirical evidence. As for politics, it depends on the issues. I like to take a pragmatic approach and vote what makes sense. I think I'm fairly smart, if I'm not, don't tell me and I'll be none the wiser.
My interests are all over the map. (Literally, I graduated with a degree in Geography.) I have always been into the retro stuff. I like mid century modern furniture & architecture, music from jazz to rock, punk to classical. Lately I've been listening to "Lounge" music. I picked that up about the time I discovered the Mai Tai and other various tropical drinks. (everything in moderation) I like Tiki bars and old Hot Rods. I’ll watch almost any motor sport, but I really favor Nascar. I am very much into modern art ( I still paint sometimes) and I like to go to the galleries. I am fascinated by pop culture. (Maybe amazed or repelled would be more accurate.) I like to shop at thrift stores and flea markets and browse the farmers market too.
I’m beginning again, and I find myself wanting to share life's moments with someone. My friends are great and they mean a lot to me, but sometimes they just don't get it. I find that it is the everyday simple things, that makes me want for someone special in my life. Little stuff like finding Key Limes on sale at the supermarket, or how orange the sunset is over San Francisco, seem so significant at the time but loose their gloss when not shared.
I had that kind of special friendship once, now nearly 20 years ago. When I think about it, I realize what I have been missing all these years. The kind of closeness, companionship and intimacy only comes with time. Time spent getting to know you. I want both of us to be at ease knowing that being ourselves, sharing our inner most secrets and emotions, will always be welcomed and appreciated. I want a relationship of sincerity, honesty, openness, integrity, romance, adventure, laughter, and most of all, meaning.
For me there has to be a mental connection to truly enjoy the physical. I find it completely amazing when I read all of the ads on CL looking for the insta-sex, as I find that I can have friendships without sex but not sex without friendship. (Unless you’re into that then maybe we can work something out.)
I am a real man, (not some little boy) and have strong arms for great hugs. At 42, I find that I have more salt than pepper left in my hair. I started going gray at 16, yikes! I look forward to hearing back from you and someday…
Please send a picture and tell me about you.
