I am a highly creative and somewhat eccentric fellow, looking for someone special I can share ideas with in music and art, philosophy and friendship -- someone to help me get out of my shell, honestly. A lady would need a sense of humor to be able to relate to me! But I am gentle and sensitive to other people's feelings, believe in the golden rule, and always try to accentuate the positive. I want to share personal growth experiences. I play guitar and sing in a band, write songs (pop-rock love songs, mostly -- think Arthur Lee and Love) and am working on a novel. I paint pictures with a decidedly abstract bent, tropical fishes and palm trees and flowers, sharks and chinese ideographs. I would like to meet a charming woman who is easy to get along with, whose beauty lights from within, and who knows a lot about life!
