Date men from United States / Arkansas / Bismarck, 48 year old

Date a soulmate from Bismarck, United States. Contractor/Software Developer by Day (keeps good clothes on my 10 yr old son and is the vehicle by which I'm building our house currently) but a deeply engrained singer/songwriter in my soul... and am actively sending materials to Nashville for publishing rights.
10 years ago, I would've never imagined being a 100% single full-time Dad to my son. But as the cliche goes "life takes us down unforeseen paths"..... and seriously, my instance of life in raising my boy is priceless - couldn't live with myself any other way.
We have horses and a great wooded property near Lake DeGray in Bismarck...
We're not much into the mainstream things like a lot of T.V. or trendy current events [what are they anyway these days?]
My son is very bright; objectively speaking - to a science geek level.... and this can throw peers off at 10 yr old age-range... I see it first hand.... him being called a nerd and/or basically kids are just mean! ;) hey not a pity thing, he's tough! LOL
I guess I'm saying that we'd rather be at the Lake or on our horses or sifting river banks for Native American artifacts .vs. watching American Idol or zip-lining(?) My son is into blacksmithing and naturalism... oh yes, he has vid games comin' out the wahzoo - so I suppose we are in THAT mainstream niche' (I don't play them, but he goes online Xbox and has friends that he games with... I regulate his vid game to 1 hour max!)
I suppose I'm more into Love, Kindness and Truth .vs. organized Religion --- I've found that (in small country towns) church is often used as a judging block by the locals ... very small minded in my opinion. OK - nuff on that :)
I paint and write songs most of the time when not hanging with my boy... try to avoid carpal tunnel from coding software and writing too many emails as a project manager. Again, that near-future music-flexibilty-feasibility I mentioned is nearing and I'm getting psychologically primed, as this will be a re-life after raising my boy alone. I lived as a pro bass player for 15 years before my son... the lesser $ aspect does not bother me in a future context, as my current capacity is doing very well, which will afford me a focused songwriting pursuit at that time - and we'll be in our free n clear home, et al! Life is Good ... can't wait!
I'd really cherish the finishing touch on a lot of hard work - a great woman who knows herself and is at a point in life where things are opening up and spontaneity can be a part of our life.... .vs. a cookie-cutter "list" of ideals that may just bore the crap out ANY man, driven or not! LOL Hey, I'm cool with [omg here it goes] "Walks, Talks, cooking, museums, festivals, work out 4-5 times/wk yeh right, sunsets or [I love this one] ... just cuddling on the couch with a movie and that special someone" LOL - OF COURSE those things are inherent to some of the conventions in a relationship! But are they at the forefront of your daily life?... and do they really define you and convey anything useful in terms of cyber-presenting yourself?!
Well, if this helps: I love schlogging beers in Munich (Dusseldorf and Heidelberg are awesome too!) great Agave in Cancun, searching for awesome food-dives and Blues juke joints in the South USA, Colorado, yes CA beaches, AR woods on our property trapping exotic forest animals (Bobcats, Foxes, Armadillos etc) and letting them go [relocating] them to remote woods far from our house (want kids to be able to visit and swim etc) --- what else?... riding horses regularly, strong coffee, John Hiatt songs and New Orleans in Autumn...
These and many other meanderings of zest are my idea of livin' how when we can do it like we do it!
Thank You for reading - and I sincerely hope to meet you beyond this cyber barrier :)

Meet a man from Bismarck, United States. I am creative. Quite , well sometimes. Dont like to fight. If two people want to be togather then keep it happy and nice . What makes me smile? Not sure I can can say or pick any one thing. There are many. A beautyful day , A beautyful woman, agood song. Iguess if I had to choose one thing that makes me feel good that would be when I know that I have made someone else happy or feel good. I,m looking for someone easy going, down to earth, maybe a little bit country. But not too much. Just a little. One that likes to look good. Clean and somewhat neet. Not compulsive. Just neet. Social life ? Im out going but not pushy. easy to get along with. Would reather talk then fight. Im looking for someone that I,ll not want to change and feels the same of me. Most passionate about? Being happy. To share everything with someone and love everything about them. I guess its simply to live out the rest of my life as happy as i can.
