to begin, i'd like to pose a question... wouldn't it be wonderful
if men and women could come to the realization that we're truly
different and that we don't have to have everything in common in
order to make a relationship work? what happened to the concept or
idea that what you "bring to the table" can be unique and different
than your partner... and that's what makes the feast so much more
exciting and delicious!<br />
<br />
that being said...<br />
<br />
plain and simple, i'm a <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=guitarist">guitarist</a>... in the mornings, i sell
guitars at an amazing local music shop, here on the peninsula... in
the afternoons, i have a thriving teaching business instructing the
youth of america how to rock! *wink*... and then on the occasional
weekend, i back it up by playing live music in a local cover-band
as well, where *i* do the rocking... lol! no, i'm not the
wealthiest man on the planet, but i wouldn't trade what i'm doing
for any other kind of work... i'm my own boss, i make my own hours,
and i have a very enriching, if not fulfilling, experience passing
on what i know to others about playing <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=guitar">guitar</a>, making music, and sharing the joy
of it all with others... especially kids!!! (that's because i
haven't forgotten what it's like to be one!) :o)<br />
<br />
i've been described by some of my friends and family as one of the
nicest people they know (man, have i got them fooled... *insert
sinister laugh*... lol!) my sister has referred to me as being
"terminally polite"... don't get me wrong, i definitely have a dark
side... i think that we all do, right? meaning, anybody who
declares that they don't have "baggage" is basically in denial,
right?! like it or not, we're all carrying something along from our
past relationships... romantic, platonic, familiar (meaning,
pertaining to family), you name it... it's made us who we are,
no?!<br />
<br />
who am i looking for? i'll know when i see her smile... pardon the
clich, but she might be "the girl next door"... i know, i know...
*yawn*, right?! lol! but it's the truth... someone who finds
pleasure and satisfaction from the simple things in life... good
food, good drink, enjoying friends, going to <a class="ilink" href=
"/interests?i=san+francisco%0agiants">san francisco giants</a>
games, taking in a movie... hopefully likes seeing her man play
some live music every one in a while... maybe likes to dance?! ;o)
i'll know when i see her smile... nothing wrong with her being
stylish or enjoying the finer things in life, it's just that i
would prefer to be with someone who isn't so necessarily high
strung or high maintenance... don't get me wrong, i may not be
"metro-sexual" or super-stylish, but i certainly "clean up" well
and enjoy dressing up and having a good time!<br />
<br />
beyond that? chemistry... plain and simple... either we have it or
we don't, right? are you willing to find out? i am...
