I Would Describe Myself As
My priority is on awareness and appreciation of all that life offers. I lead an active and healthy life, enjoy being outdoors, connecting and collaborating with others, struggle with being human, laughing and listening and collect independent/foreign films for rainy days. I'm a Scot, a decent baker, mostly a fish vegetarian and a good cook of Indian, Asian and Arabic dishes.
I enjoy well made 'things', dry wit, satire and the absurd. I can be funny and like to hear people laugh - good for our souls. I value a relationship in which there is much open discussion - of anything and everything - yet we are attuned and sensitive to each other as partners. I want a committed relationship where my life is witnessed and filtered back to me in a loving and honest way so that I may know myself better and reciprocate in kind....I prefer the big fat happy guy to the bloke nailed to bits of wood....
I have stopped trying to save the world and thus have passion to spare if want to meet a high energy, low maintenance, creative, lively man). I value my integrity, honesty, sense of humour. Much of my passion these days goes on playing music, the arts, traveling. I enjoy most aspects of non-Anglo cultures and all the richness they bring to my life. One carry-on. I dance (though I believe it's forbidden in Vancouver.....), do galleries, bookstores, teach scuba, walk, cycle, swim, golf for fun. Enjoy art, architecture, theatre, film, etc. fiction with good lines. I support slow food and have become a bit of a foodie. I'm as much at home in Spain, France and Italy as I am in English speaking countries.
On the material side I owned language schools in Paris & Stockholm, a charter boat in northern BC. Paid for education as a musician & tour guide in Europe, North Africa and Scandinavia. Editor for a major press, college principal, teacher, retired in '99 and went to Spain where I started a successful computer business. Sold it and am now a musician who gets paid to play. Or stop …..));-
I prefer substance over form and hope you do too.
As for hobbies, I will share yours unless you're a Morris dancer or necromancer …I am 68 as of Nov 2008. I refuse to eliminate myself from my age cohort because of preconceptions, stereotyping and dodgy GUIs. And I hope you do too. I hope I don't fit any stereotypes.
Otherwise mine include melodic jazz, (+ Latin, Motown, performing arts, travel, dancing, exotic cooking Y UK standards) social justice, botany, literature, philosophy, computer creature, anything which catches my fancy, psychology, languages. I have arthritis so am not as lithe as I used to be. I do however see a new aspect to my life emerging with and see no reason that it should be as full of the fun I used to be before contracting it.
