I love innuendos and sarcasm. I love being in nature. I love playing piano. The tattoo on my arm is Chopin Etude Opus 25 #12. I love beauty in every tragic to wonderous shade. I believe that true knowledge must be earned. I am staring 50 right in the face with pride and humility. I find philosophy and its derivatives fascinating. I appreciate really good food so I made damn sure I learned how to cook. I am fearless in the kitchen which can lead to some pretty interesting results not always good. As the years have gone by I tend to see fewer and fewer kitchen tragedies But it is so much fun playing. Plus, the cook is always privy to a beverage while in the heat. I want some good conversation and people unafraid to have questions in every direction. I crave being challenged with dignity. I have an insatiable curiosity. I believe in humanity and grieve for those who have lost it. I have found what real control means and it only points in one direction. Be not afraid for I am very simple. I want conversation with people who have enough confidence within themselves so I can joke around without offensive or defensive demeanors. I have had careers as a musician, athletic coach, sole proprietor business owner in hood cleaning, bartender, and other restaurant positions, and now 3 years into corporate business ownership What an animal that has been. I have lived a lot of life I want to share what I have and accept what I am given. Try a conversation with me. If you want, it will be interesting. Please share with me. I love the story of another persons life. And we all have one helluva story!
