First of all I am a white single straight male. I am highly intelligent. I am a voracious reader of books. I love the cinema. Music is very important to me. A world without music would be a horrible place. I want to learn to play guitar and perhaps keyboards. I love dogs and cats, and most critters of the animal kingdom. I think hunting for sport is barbaric. I like to travel when able to do so. I love nature and am especially fond of mountains. I feel a spiritual presence in the mountains that I don't experience elsewhere. I am not much of an artist myself but have an appreciation of those who are. I enjoy writing. Poetry is the language of the heart and soul but I am not much of a poet. . My favorite orchestral instrument is the violin. I find theoretical physics and cosmology very interesting. I guess I am somewhat philosophical and a bit of a romantic. I love dark chocolate and pizza.
