I am progressive politically and I identify myself as Spiritual. I take the power of belief seriously but not the mythologies that I or anybody else creates. Perhaps it's my human ego that won't allow me to identify as Atheist. By that, I mean that my ego tells me I (consciousness - that which is hidden by flesh and bone) lives forever. I believe it's energy which cannot be destroyed. Again - that could be only ego as I don't have any solid proof of anything.
This is an updated edit. There have been a lot of changes in my life since I joined this group and created my profile. I no longer walk with a cane as I have had my hip replaced so I'm ready to enjoy the things I love the most which is adventuring, walking, and hiking. I would be interested in meeting friends and/or life partner. I give up on the idea of a rest-of-life partner most days, mainly due to my age and the likelihood I'd meet someone. I'm not interested in a long distance relationship. That is an oxymoron as far as I'm concerned. If I can't meet you in person to get out and do things with on a regular basis, that's a waste of time. I have grown stingy with my time and chemistry is not really going to happen via emails and video chats.
I love getting out to Rock concerts and it would be wonderful to meet someone from my tribe that enjoys the same. I appreciate nearly every kind of music but I'm not much into Country or Rap. Love Jazz, world music, and nearly every form of Rock with the exception of rage metal.
I'm a recovered alcoholic of 23 years and secure enough to be around social drinkers. I would not be able to relate to a heavy drinker. I do smoke pot but do not use any other recreational drugs.
What else? I like to get out and have FUN: Concerts, IMAX, movies, fine dining, hiking, museums, and ADVENTURE. Life is so short and it seems that one has to burn up half of it to fully realize just how short it is. I'm a young sixty + year old. In my mind and lately even physically I feel like I'm still in my thirties.
