Some things about me.

There is a minimal selection of things that make me feel alive. They include music, a paintbrush in my hand, a blank canvas. A strong hand wrapped around the nape of my neck and the other on the small of my back.

I will never have a ton of friends. I’m not that type of person. But the friends I do have I cherish very much. I am quiet most of the time. My sense of humor is very dry and on occasion, sarcastic. I love to laugh, though.

I love vinyl albums. Music is my Savior. It's been here for me when nothing else has

I’m not cynical or bitter I'm just too tired to talk about things that don’t matter. I've reached the age where I value my time more and more. I don't mind small talk, but, what I really love is people with some depth that bring something to the table. So we can talk about something that rings my bell. Especially art, music, and dare I say literature and poetry?.

I love to create. I am an artist. The world doesn’t have enough beauty. I don’t want to pretend I’m not smart and capable and passionate about things. I am.

I don’t entirely know who I am, but I’m very close to finding out.

Sorry I missed this, M. I guess I got caught up in reading during the ice storms.

You paint a lovely portrait with words. I can only begin to imagine what you can do with a paintbrush.

I don't paint. At one time I mistook an interest in architecture for artistic talent... but no more. I still have my sketches of Japanese temples and shrines.

I visualize you as a work of art. This confirms it.

    Sounds quite a bit like me except I don't have an artistic bone in my body. I am constantly in awe of people with amazing talent and I truly can and do appreciate a lot of art from throughout human history. I especially like Surrealism. Poetry is one of my worse subjects to which I know next to nothing about is all. Besides deaf persons, who doesn't like music!?! My wide taste ranges from classical to Slipknot. I've read a lot, but there are a bunch of classics I would like to read.
Thanks for sharing a bit of yourself with us .

    I believe we are all in a constant state of flux, ever changing but always staying the same inside.
Yes, we are. But I tend to think the more we change, the more we stay the same.

    I understand, although as an engineer, I am more of a technician than artist. That said, I love photography, collect water colors, have always loved music and of course love dance. I would recommend you watch the movie High Strung Free Dance. I was lucky to have seen great musicians, great ballet and a lot of rock and classical music live. I was fortunate to get the basis of a good arts education along with my engineering training. I love discussions and fear we no longer argue about politics and shun it because we no longer recognize political dialog is not about right and wrong or personal identity politics. And when we don't argue about solutions to problems we end up judging each other and getting easily distracted Be happy because the alternative sucks.
Thank you, for sharing a little window into your life. I do appreciate it. I've often wondered if your handle was derived from Led Zeppelin's "The Lemon Song". You're absolutely correct, the alternative sucks!

    I too thank you for sharing

    Music and art are wonderful things to keep us relaxed

    I too think it is better to have a few true friends but a bunch of superficial acquiantances....
You're quite welcome, Jenny.
