Pinhoti, 46

i'm a writer, thinker, gardener, teacher, not much of a joiner... i like to have a good time. haven't eaten meat since 1998. became vegan in 2000, and cruelty-free is the way for me. i try not to be complicit in the death or suffering of anything.
looking to meet new people. i have a lot of good friends, they're scattered all around. i have a low view of human nature, thus i'm not quick to judge. i don't like smalltalk, i try to avoid pretense. i read a lot, spent a lot of time simply sitting in the woods. i like the contemplative life. i possess mystic leanings. i value art, literature, free thought. i dig good movies, and am not above occasional bouts of television.
i'm charismatic, like too eat healthy. i usually drink a lot of coffee. pall-malls are close companions of mine. i'm smoker-friendly in every sorta way. i try to be wise, mature responsible; i'm a good listener and a wild talker.
i have dogs. i don't like to shop, but i have a lot of books.
i'm cutting back on drinking (my last relationship involved too much).
i'd love to meet somebody sweet, thoughtful, and somewhat kindred for a drink, bite, walk, some coffee, or something.
