Title: Inutile Perspicuity

Gender: Male

Age: 50

Location: Concord, CA

Well, I've joined the ranks of the unemployed. Bittersweet that. My mixed emotions are that of sadness that I'm no longer there and happiness that I am not part of the restructuring pressures placed on those that remain. I've been very busy growing my presence at another website which will go nameless here for at least the meantime. It would likely be considered anethema to what happens here at Gaia by many and totally misunderstood by some. Don't get me wrong, I love Gaia! It's just that I found a group that shares the same world view I have on 90% of what I hold important. Gaia has a very calming effect on me and allows me to see as others do which is refreshing and necessary for common understanding, growth and community.

Insight into my personality:

I'm sardonic, cynical and posess a very dark and twisted sense of humor.  Where most would be somber at funerals, I am chipper.  At happy events such as weddings, birthday parties, and the like, I am moody and introspective.  Please try to understand, I appear to see things in their entirety for a split second and from that momentary glimpse, I see many possible outcomes.  A majority of them are not joyous or warm.  I consider this a curse.  I have found no way to make an income from it even if I actually wanted to.  Most often I find myself in these threads I see, knowing the outcome, and dreading the ending from which I am unable to effect change, or much less, extricate myself.  My psyche has taken a beating over the years and I hurt.  To compound my issues further, I'm atheistic with a tendancy for humanistic views.  This unfortunately places me outside of approximately 84% of the world's populace for meeting and interacting with others of similar inclination.

I am approachable. That is I don't bite, but I can be very defensive on some issues and extremely liberal with others.  If you find me interesting, please contact me for conversation via Gaia. I can converse on many levels and subjects.  My knowledge base is rather esoteric and broad.  I'm something of a Jack of all trades but a master of none.

I'm married, have two young children and a chihuahua.

Coffee and fine Bourbon are my two vices I still maintain.  For how much longer?  This will be determined by my desire to drop them for health reasons.  After all, I still feel I have to maintain some level of quality to my existance… ^_^

No, I'm not interested in dating or participating in anything within the pervue of ne'er-do-wells.  I do, however, enjoy inspired and thought provoking communication.  I try to avoid polarized debate.  This is a futile expendature of time and breath.
