About Me

"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.

    Man. 52 years old. Zodiac sign: Leo.

    Looking for: woman. In age: 49-59

    I'm an independent man, hard working, loyal, and trustworthy. I like to fish, camping, watching movies, and just hanging out with family and my two grandkids (one on the way). I live in my own home alone! I do not like drama. Looking for someone to spend time with and get to know. I am open to any thing. Let just see where this takes us. Depends on what we both have in common. We can discuss this further later. Maybe meet up for drinks and talk!

    Man. 54 years old. Zodiac sign: Virgo.

    Looking for: woman. In age: 51-61

    My friends describe me as a genuine, honest, happy and easy going guy. They also are shockingly surprised and amazed that I recently finished an Ironman triathlon.1 mile cross bay swim fundraiser for the families of fallen Navy Seals.I guess I like to do things that inspire others. My friends are often overheard describing me to others; I’ll share a couple of their comments:He lives vicariously through himselfHe once had an awkward moment, just to see how it feltWhen it rains, it’s because he is thinking sad thoughtsHis shirts never wrinkleHe can identify UFOsMosquitos refuse to bite him purely out of respectIn museums he is allow to touch the artHe has won the lifetime achievement award twiceHe bowls overhandHe is fluent in all languages including three that only he speaksOnce while sailing around the world he discovered a short cutOn another note - when it comes to a relationship the words of my later Mother seem true and wise – “seek a partner that wants to give more than they expect to receive and you must do the same for her.” It is the Ying & Yang philosophy. While I cannot speak for what my future partner wants in a relationship I can speak to why I think a loving relationship makes me a better person, a better man. When I find the right woman is seems all the other aspects of my life fall into place and that makes me a better man. I think a good woman keeps me balanced, centered, social, focused, motivated, challenged and stable. She is a supportive force in my life; her treating me like I am capable and a deserving guy makes me a capable and deserving guy. She helps me see the best in me. I look to mirror similar aspects to her so she can be all she wants to be. Together with this approach I believe it is the best prescription for a loving, long lasting relationship. In general the beach lifestyle, coupled with good friends make for a happy day for me. I can’t cook, dance, tell a good joke, or write a dating profile, but I do have big feet and I am a good companion and sometimes I will make you smile as I hope I have here. “We know each other so we are comfortable spending time together – Sunday morning “Breakfast with the Beatles”, brunch, mimosas, HydraFacial (Google it). Back bay bike ride, pool to relax then Billy’s for afternoon music and fun! ”

    Looking for: woman. In age: 50-60

    Just trying to find a woman who enjoys life as much as I do. I am not looking for a booty call. The sex will come later and I very much enjoy pleasuring the woman I'm with. I have a wide array of interests and tastes. Very goal-oriented. Love to travel, fish, go on road trips and camp. Love all sorts of live music but mostly rock. Please. Anything else just ask.I'm not trying to be a jerk. If you are going to contact me at least have a basic grasp of the English language.
