Now that's a real uplifting headline, eh? Well, I'm not really lost and neither is my soul, but I sometimes do make a wrong turn... BUT all roads do lead to somewhere... AND somewhere is where I'd rather be... AND somewhere for me, right now, is Tennessee. I like it here in the Volunteer State! It's a very green land when it rains, and there's a lot of beautiful scenery to enjoy when the smog index is low. Ahhh but I digress... Yes, I'm really a very optimistic person... well at least, realistically so.

I'm really single... I've never been married (although I came very close to taking those vows for the first time in March of '07)... I have no children, but I do have seven dogs; and no, the rather alien looking doggie is not mine, but I did rescue him and did find him a really cool home. I am independent, and I do have a steady job. I live a simple life in the country, and I walk softly on the land. I am hard-working and industrious... and resourceful and highly ingenuitive.

I have an artistic side and can get way out there sometimes (in a good non-psychotic way). I can be serious if need be, yet at times, I can be downright silly... BUT I would like to think that I am usually at a healthy medium between the two extremes. I like to think outside of the box and have a vivid imagination... I am a day-dreamer, too, and proud of it...

I'm spiritual, yet I choose not to belong to any organized faith... I'm a Zoroastrian/LDS/Mennonite hybrid of sorts with a dash of liberal Hebrew and conservative Southern Baptist for flavor. I love to learn, and I like to teach (BUT not preach). I am tolerant of others and try not to judge people, and I am willing to listen to another person's point of view (whether I agree with them or not... I do respect other people's opinions)... I do unto others as I would like them to do unto me...

I am good natured and laid back. kind and gentle, intelligent and funny, somewhat eccentric and quite creative, playful and spontaneous, a tree hugger and an animal lover, an open minded individual with hippy-ish tendencies, an adventurer, an explorer, a lover of all things that make a woman (yet is totally satisfied with being a man), a joker, a smoker, a midnight toker... Did anybody happen to catch that? Just curious... Unfortunately, I'm not supposed to toke at midnight anymore, thanks to my employer!

I am very passionate and can be extremely sensual with the right inspiration and proper motivation (What do you expect? After all, I'm one eleventh Spanish!). I enjoy intimacy (AND when I speak of intimacy, I'm not only talking about a man and a woman being all alone and bouncing around in bed in the dark... there is far much more to being intimate than that.) I appreciate and place a high value on the art of good communication. As a matter of fact, I find that a great conversation shared between 'the right' individual and myself to be one of my biggest of turn ons. Stimulate my mind and capture my imagination, and I'm yours for the taking... AND you can take me just about anywhere as long as I don't need a passport and/or immunizations to get there... unless you give me proper notice!

Geez, I'm really like totally burned out with this whole 'I am' scene and am ready for some 'you are' material... so please bear with me! I am (arrrghhh... There it is again!) almost finished... Just one more thing!...

Anyway, I am this wild-n-crazy single guy who has never been married and has spent his entire adult life seeking that one special woman who would be willing to run away to the coast of Alaska with me, live in a tree house, sling clay (make pottery) and make incense, and be my flower child princess... Is that too much to ask? Well, maybe it is, but I have never been one to just settle for the sake of settling... HOWEVER, I do like to stop and smell a beautiful flower when I find one beckoning to me , and I will linger there to gaze upon it's lovely form... to gently caress it's soft, satiny petals... and savor, with my tongue, every drop of it's sweet nectar... as I make my way along the path that I have chosen to venture... Maybe I'll see you there.....   Send me a message!
