"Risk everything for love if you are truly human. Otherwise, leave this gathering." -RumiWriting about myself is difficult, but required, so here's my brief ramble. ~~I feel that the focused pursuit of end results alone leads to unhappiness. For me, happiness comes through the process of getting where I'm going. Sharing that experience with a partner, and taking part in their journey, makes the experience more meaningful. ~~I am a sane and loving person who connects well with others. I value friends and family and animals. I'm politically left of center and that is reflected in my work as a business owner, filmmaker, teacher, writer, and musician. I try to walk a fine line between being non-judgemental and making the decisions I must in order to get through each day. ~~I am an educated person with two masters degrees. As a musician I have performed with orchestras, sang backup with the Carpenters for 5 years (I was very young at the time), gigged with numerous bands and scored hundreds of films and TV shows. My graduate degrees are in film and I currently make my living as a producer/director/writer and university professor and department chair. I am fortunate to make a living doing what I love to do. ~~My musical tastes are diverse; I appreciate every style. Rock, pop, jazz, classical, blues and alt country have a place in my heart. ~~I love great comedy and worship humor. I have a personal prescription that requires an hour of humor every day. ~~I am spiritually tuned to the world but non-dogmatic. I am a panentheist whose beliefs are most closely reflected by Taoism but am comfortable with many traditions. I believe honesty is truly the best policy--nobody was ever caught telling a truth. Rumi's advice was to risk everything for love. That appears to be the main reason we are here--to love and be loved. From my experience, relationships must have three elements to succeed: intimacy, commitment and passion. If any of these is missing, it just won't work. Having these parts in place is only one step. Balancing them with the needs and interests of the individuals and, at the same time, creating an environment that allows the main three to grow and evolve over time--well, that's the trick, isn't it? I believe it can be done. The binders that hold it all together are humor, openness, honesty and acceptance. I think we all want the same thing; to adore someone and be adored in return. A good relationship is worth working and persevering for. Finally, I hate coathangers; they tangle, hide out behind the dryer and mock me.Well, it appears that I am surprisingly capable of writing on and on about myself. I'll close by saying that if larger portions of the above ramble describe you, then there is a chance we could ramble together.WARNING: Any *** individuals using this site or any of its associated sites for studies or projects-you DO NOT have permission to use any of my profile nor my pictures in any capacity both current and future.

I guess one way to describe myself would be to share one of my favorite song lyrics. It's "All you touch, and all you see...is all your life will ever be". It's from the Pink Floyd song "Breathe". I take it to mean that life is so precious, that we need to live it to its fullest every day, share with others as much as we can, and experience as much of it as possible. I like to live an active life, stay physically fit, and meet new people. I love conversation, need friendship, and hope to find true love with the right person. This may sound cliché, but my goal is to find someone that can appreciate all that I have to give and offer, and be willing to give all that they have to give to the relationship. I believe it is fine and natural for couples to have their own interests, but I also believe in putting the person I am sharing life with first. I would say I am sensitive...yet able to handle anything life throws my way, and still believe that we all wake up every day to new opportunities and possibilities. I like dining out, but am just as happy making dinner together while listening to music and sipping some wine. I really enjoy seeing live music, especially at outdoor festivals or small clubs. A date I particularly enjoy would be hopping in the boat and cruising to Egmont Key to barbeque, listen to some tunes, swim & relax. I also like to play tennis, go biking, and of course watch a good movie. Let's see...what else...really I would enjoy doing just about anything with someone who trusts enough to share their thoughts and feelings.Have I told you I am crazy about music? Many kinds - blues, southern rock, jam bands, and even lots of songs from the "past'...even the 50's, 60's, & 70's. I sometimes like to sing along to great songs, but I'm certainly not ready for American Idol! I used to travel a lot, and hope to travel more some day. Although I am outgoing and like to make friends, I prefer to only have a "relationship" with one woman. I am looking forward to creating a wonderful second part of my life, one where I could eventually meet a woman willing to accept a long term relationship based on sincere commitment, open communication, and total honesty. I realize the development of these great expressions may take time, and I am willing to grow with anyone who feels the same way as I do.I am a science teacher (Physics and Chemistry), but you'd never know it on weekends!Addendum: I've recently realized many people put some of their own personal "preferences" in their profile, so I thought I'd give it a try! I am looking for someone that I can share a mutual physical attraction with. Not perfection, just beauty that's in the eyes of the beholders... You will never find me checking a social networking site on my cell phone, so I must say that I prefer when someone doesn't feel the need to always be connected to cyberspace - yet I'm very reliable in communicating and try to respond as soon as possible to messages or texts. In closing, I would like to find someone who is affectionate, open, honest, fun, likes conversation, and is willing to walk hand in hand (literally!) with me on "our" life's journey..... Oh, and I can hook up a stereo and am pretty good at fixing things around the house! I feel what's important in a first meeting is that both people feel comfortable. Coffee, a drink, a burger, maybe hear some live music - something casual and an opportunity to get acquainted and hopefully plan the next date, where the possibilities will be endless!

Hi. I'm Rick.. Southern by birth but the world had been my home due to a 20 yr hitch in the Navy. I recently finalized my divorce and have two teenage sons that live with their mom. Now I'm ready to try again. Getting on a Harley and going for an all day cruise stopping for lunch and dinner on the rode.
