it is that simple. "idealism is the last refuge of youth." (somerset maugham.) you understand these words. i mean, at the heart of the quote is in part, the statement; "if you are an idealist, you are young". i am a romantic idealist. well, all right, a practical, romantic idealist, ha ha ha ha! it's just what i am.
the adventure is the journey and the journey never ends. i want to know who you are. no one will ever know everything but that doesn't mean you just stop. living is learning; if one is not learning one is dying; i want to learn from you.
i don't believe in the big bang theory; i believe in the steady state theory...
i am an artist and businessman. i paint, make jewelry, cut gemstones, take photographs, do leatherwork, embroider and etc., etc. ... i am a gemologist by choice and by trade. i have sole legal and physical custody of my 10 year old son if you can handle that...
at the heart of existence is and always has been the question, "why?". it's funny to me but the answer to me has always been, "because."
i am a member of mensa. i read classic literature, religion (all of them), philosophy, gemological texts, poetry, foxfire, philosophy, sci-fi, graphic novels, dr. seuss and curious george, art books, you name it! ha, ha! drop me a line, i'll tell you a joke!
