I like going to movies, and especially like movies that aren't the traditional chick (although those can be good too), which often means foreign flicks at the Esquire. I'm politically liberal and open minded. I enjoy reading, working out (swimming, bike riding, elliptical and nautilus machines), anything outdoors and traveling whenever possible.Anyway now, just like the song by Nickel back "Gotta Be Somebody",I'm looking for someone special to enjoy life with whether going for a ride in my car with the top down (especially under the stars) on a warm sunny day, and sometimes, especially on a rainy day, I like just hanging out and watching movies. but I also like good company and a good laugh.I consider myself an intelligent, active and passionate Man who is looking for someone who is confident and flexible in roles, someone who's easy going and has character in depth. I'm confident but humble. I love to laugh, smile and have a great sense of humor. I am outgoing and easy to talk to but on the other hand I can be a great listener as well. I've been widower for 7 years. I am one of those men who still opens up the doors for a lady. I can be spontaneous but to like to put some planning into the thought process. I do like spend as much time with my son as I can. when he partner to share my love of music with. I appreciate many types of music except rap. Symphonies, classic rock, Motown, all those are my favorites. Some of my favorites are the tunes I grew up with...R&B (Roberta Flack, the Isley Brothers, Stevie Wonder), classic rock (Led Zepplin, YES, Emerson, Lake and Palmer), but then there's classical (Beethoven, Faure, Copland), contemporary music (Jaheim, Sarah McLachlin, India.Arie) including dance music, and jazz(Steely Dan,John Coltrane).I am quite knowledgeable about music and the Arts.I use to support the Blues Foundation, Memphis Symphony,ConcertsInternational and Playhouse, and often hang out at Mingle-wood. Occasionally, I like to curl up, touch toes and just chill.In my "dating headline" I give a partial quote from Mark Twain. The quote in its entirety reads, "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."On that note let's get to know each other so we can figure out how and where we can go from there
