Date men and women from United States / Alaska / Valdez, 49 year old

Date someone special from United States. Hola, amigas! Settle in with a cup 'o' joe or tea, and let's spend a few minutes getting to know each other...
Life is to be enjoyed, appreciated... embraced for the good times and the tough times. The good and bad make us who we are, and I don't know about you, but I wouldn't trade any of it. My life is and has been good, and the tough times have helped make me who I am. And I like who I am. I live compassionately toward others and the planet, enjoy exercising my mind and body, and relish fun.
I have a well-developed sense of humor, light and easy manner, a kind heart, and a deep and reflective intellect. Confident and secure enough to admit (heh heh) that I’m a walking bundle of contradictions: I grew up in (and love) San Diego, but live in Alaska and love it; love where I live, but am considering a move. I’m an idealist, yet pragmatic and focused. I’m kind and compassionate, but will roll up my sleeves and take on the playground bully. I’m urban-scene-like social, but also love downtime and evenings in. I live a life filled with complications (mainly work related), but relish a more simplified life. I'm candid and truthful, but I know when it's better to be silent.
Yes, I also have baggage. Don’t we all at this age? But I wear it well, and refuse to burden others with it. I expect a potential partner to have the self-awareness and stability of mind to share this attitude.
In the spirit of simplicity, here’s a bullet list, snippets of me and things I really like – no particular order. If interested in more detail, let me know.
- the high of a good workout
- positive attitude and outlook on life
- Frosted Mini-Wheats or Cocoa Krispies late at night
- “Be kind whenever possible . . . It is always possible.” -- The Dalai Lama. I live this.
- “True to Myself”… Ziggy Marley
- hiking.... anywhere
- confident, self-aware, and stable
- Life, the Universe, and Everything = 42 (name that book)
- passionate kissing
- music: The Police, Bob Marley, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Cake, The Tragically Hip, Louis Armstrong and Louis Prima, David Sanborn, The Cure, Yellowman, Blink 182, Pixies, V Femmes, Timbaland, Black Eyed Peas,311, Plain White Tees, Sonic Youth, Smashmouth, Thousand Foot Krutch, Nickelback, Mikey Dread, Spacemen 3, Jimmy Cliff…. Whew… haven’t even started on pop, classic rock, or any decent list of jazz or folk artists…. Very eclectic with music. Except country. And polka. Not big on polka. Not even when Mom and Dad are visiting.
- Guinness, and Kona Longboard. And Alaska Amber. Oh, and Pacifico.
- zoos and roller coasters
- athletic…. being fit and living a healthy lifestyle
- beef saag, naan, and samosa
- Gordon and Smith (if you know what this is, we need only set the wedding date! hahahaa)
- nordic skiing
- pedaling and paddling
- Rowan Atkinson, The Coen Brothers, Christopher Guest, and Monty Python
- the muffled outdoor sound of the surf while lying on the sand, hovering 'twixt waking and sleep
- the muffled outdoor sound of the woods nordic skiing right after fresh snow fall
- the muffled in/outdoor sound of snuggling together after passionate intimacy :-)
- being there for friends
- walks along the beach at sunset and into nightfall, pauses for intimate moments lying on the sand away from public view
- doing the right thing.... even when it causes myself hardship.
- sitting at a pub with friends, my partner next to me, both of us engaged in the conversation, but a silent connection that we're both constantly aware of. A toe rubbing my calf.
- spontaneous banter
So how's that cup 'o' joe (or tea)? Your turn now. Drop me a line and let's continue the conversation. I'll get a pot of Sumatra going.
