With the last year being one of isolation and seperation from so much of the world that I have come to enjoy, let's start off this summer with some new connections. Looking for a new chat partner or partners to get to know and see what we may have in common. Just pick a topic and I will pretend to have some form of intellectual opinion if at all possible.

A bit about me and my life as it is: The last few years have been a time of reflection and personal growth. A time of expanding the boundaries of who I once thought I was when picturing my surroundings and the world I had built up around me. I won't get into the details since I have written a "Life in a Post" in the past and anyone is free to look through my history if they so choose.

Suffice it to say, the path I was on changed, my surroundings changed and I found myself with more options to re-evaluate who I was. Many things have not changed. I am still the pragmatic, logical, introspective introvert I have always been. Watching the interactions of the people around me and evaluating how I fit into each social dynamic I encounter. A techie minded geek with an attraction to fantasy fiction, most movies with the only exclusion being the horror genre, audiobooks, and building a secure base before branching out into the unknown.

Most notably, I now seek out all that is "new" and unknown. Trying out new foods, giving that new show a shot where I would have passed it over previously. Planning and going on trips to new destinations both locally and long distance. I can now say I enjoy the exploration of that which I have not experienced before and seek out new events and destinations that exist around me to try and hopefully grow to enjoy. Over the last 3 years I have traveled, I have been to countless restaurants, festivals and places of learning that I passed by or dismissed previously. I cannot wait to see what I will see and experience next.

So now, the basics: As the topic stated, I am 39. What it does not say is that I live in Edmonton Alberta, Canada, am 5'9", Caucasian and 260 lbs with aspirations of being under the 190 lbs despite the lack of progress the last little while. A brown hair, hazel eyed separated man that is still working on getting the final "Divorced" stamp on his past relationship status. As much as I try to live a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy my couch just as much as getting out to see the world and the content available these days on Netflix, Disney and Amazon Prime is just as interesting as that highly rated ethnic restaurant a short drive away and does not require a mask to enjoy. I still live with in a 30 min drive from the area I grew up. The old neighborhood has either gone down hill or I have learned to see what it always was, either way I am no longer in the same community, but still in the same city.

Now for a bit about you: Just like my explorations have taught me that I know very little about the wonders of the world around me, I know that my knowledge of what I am looking for is just as infallible. I don't know if you will be an explorer like I have become or a home body that is in need of someone to balance your inner house hobbit. I have yet to allow myself to look at any woman with the mindset of opening up romantically, but I know, like other parts of my life, I have much to learn in this regard. In general, my wish is that you will be kind, honest and inquisitive. You hold on to a strong sense of personal ethics and work to achieve the goals in your life. Maybe you have traveled or maybe you are still planning that first destination, but you are willing to see what is out there even if it may be with the tiniest amount of coaxing. Above all, you know who is your favorite Star Fleet captain and willing to prove why.

I look forward to talking with you, please reply.
