More about me

... Lamentably, it's not always their "Better Qualities". Even those with "No Redeeming Qualities", and those of you that will "Get Irritated 'Just Because the Sun Came-Up'" bear my scrutiny. You ALL interest me just as if in an academic, yet personal study; but nonetheless....

Mathematically speaking, it's less than Point One Percent of women that are "Mesmerizing" to me. Those of you with the Compassion, Sincerity, Loyalty, Playfullness, Passion, and of course Comfort In Your Own Beauty that are So Truly Rare. I found her once before, long ago; but that's a different story. "Yahoo 360". Can you "Promise me the world", "Fill My Dreams", and "Light My Imagination" with just "One Special Kiss"; or will having to compete with a memory be something unappealing, and too challenging to you ? Do you feel that it's even possible ???

Without that Someone Special in my life, the colors seem to fade. 4/21/2007

With just the serenity of your face, there are few of you that have inspired me to hope for communication of a sort. I don't aspire to meet even half of your qualities; so for that reason, I don't read most profiles.

Jeans & T-Shirt, covered in leaf-litter, oil, weld-spatter or ashes is how you'd find me. U

At my age, I've come to the realization that we ALL lie; even if just to save another's feelings, or a child's fantasies. It just seems so difficult for me to let down these walls I've put-up to protect myself from those very lies. Here Follows something I wrote years ago on this very theme. Maybe it'll provide you some insight as to who I am inside; then again, maybe it'll simply scare you away.

"This Glass Shield"

I watch your eyes as you look at me... as you see me.
I know things won't change; They're as they must be.
This glass shield between us; that which keeps us apart,
Keeps me from loving you; and you from breaking my heart.

It surrounds me in a world without pain, without hope;
It drowns me 'neath its contents, through which I have learned to cope.
I've filled it for so long, with my hurt, pain, and tears;
And with them, it's near bursting through the passage of years.

This glass shield won't allow... not a kiss nor caress;
But only our views of each other; whichever is less.

I see in your eyes, your hopes to see me wither and die.
I see in your smile, your joy whenever I cry.
This glass shield, it preserves me; prevents your "Laying of Hands".
It allows my observation as your beauty's eroded by the sands
Of time.

I can still see the hate as it seethes within your breast;
Yet enjoy the isolation of "This Glass Shield" you detest.
Forged by the Devil, with your help I am sure;
But I entered on my own, in an attempt to endure.

This glass shield is my prison from which escape I seek;
Yet with you still out there, I leave my efforts bleak.
Here, I choose to remain, so to look in your eye;
Until one day, in happiness, I'll once again cry !

I can't seem to find any reason to "Slow Down" for that "Walk Along the Beach", or a "Quite Cuddle Session", or even a "Simple Hug & Kiss". I sense my candle burning at both ends with very little light shining in my life. I find something to do even in the worst weather. I can't even stay in bed when it's cold and miserable; but yearn for a reason to do so. My yard is practically immaculate due to my incessant puttering, and I've planted so many trees and bushes that it borders on the insane. At least my neighbors are jealous!

I know you're still out there; and I continue this quest towards our encounter. Maybe I can fulfill at least some of Your Dreams, or make a wish or two come true.

There's a quote from the movie "Wyatt Earp" with Kevin Costner that seems so close to who I am. "I have nothing left to give... No Money, No Pride; but if you'll have me, I'll Love You for the Rest of Your Life." (Interject another story in explanation before someone gets too excited.)
