Winston Churchill
I met this man on a site, which is a long story. this was his first message to me.
i'm looking for something real, not in the computer, the danger with the computer is that you get stuck in it and don't get to experience real life. i would rather see you and talk to you in person right away, writing emails is of secondary importance for me. i'm not looking for a virtual reality, the computer is only a means to an end for me, the end is always reality.
i just want to give you quick introduction, i'm not going to write too much.
what i value above all else is spirituality, and i'm excited you identify yourself as a buddhist/taoist, that's very refreshing to hear, i also identify as one. buddhism and hinduism are the religions that come closest to the truth. my interest lies more in spiritual truths and not any specific religion. i think we can have entertaining conversations about this.
i'm a serious guy, i mean i'm serious about anything i get myself into, i don't just leave it half way done. if you like that, that's great, if not, then i'm not looking to change.
i'm confident in the way i am, in what i believe, in who i am, in what i'm doing, and where i'm going. i'm not looking to adapt myself to anyone or to change anyone.
i'm very coherent in my thoughts and am very intelligent. i enjoy reading and writing, i am down to earth and realistic but also very romantic and believe in high ideals.
i am very neat and ordered, i have an innate discipline in me. if you're messy then i have no opinion about that, i'm just not like that. my taste is of a sophisticated kind, i prefer to surround myself with things that are highly modern in their design. i'm an architect, everything i have ever done is very up-to-date and modern.
i am very good at what i do, i mean in my profession, i have a deep passion for it and it's very important to me. i dedicate a lot of time and respect to my work, i do it because i enjoy it. if given the option i will go for what i believe is work worth doing, as i have done in the past.
i am trustworthy, independent, with high morals and values, compassionate, always try to do what is just, i have no criminal record whatsoever, only a few speeding tickets, i do like to drive fast but i'm trying to change that, i've never smoked, i've never done drugs, my credit rating is very high, my finances are in order.
i have a seven year education with two degrees from two universities, one of them ivy league, both for architecture.
i have a family that is always there for each other. there are no divorces in my family at all. the idea of a family that is not there for each and every one of its members is foreign to me.
i am a good listener and a good "teacher", i enjoy explaining things to people, listening to people and helping them with their problems.
i believe in the united states and i believe in capitalism. i am a libertarian and a republican. i hate democrats and socialists, but if you're one i can work around that with you. i'm glad you like winston, he's also one of my heroes.
i always type in lowercase letters.
this is just a little summary, i know you know virtually nothing about me, so i understand your concern. a lot of things can happen, we might or might not get to really know each other. we might get along great exchanging emails but not in person. we might have too many differences in likes or in personality. it will be difficult to make progress because we don't see each other often, we don't work together, we don't study together. fear will get in the way, doubt, lack of self-confidence, lazyness, stress, everyday life will exercise its pressure against us and it will be progressively harder to keep in touch. almost everything is against us, but against great odds great things happen. a relationship is half love and half sheer will and determination to make it work. i am willing to make it work, i think this is the most important thing you need to know about me. motivation is the most important thing.
i'm 27, you're 22, we have been a quarter of a decade without knowing each other, without knowing of each other's existence, that can be daunting, it can be scary, it can discourage you before you even begin, but it doesn't discourgae me, i really would find it hard to believe that it will discourage you.
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.

now i would like to know a little about you, to have a slight idea of what i'm getting myself into.
don't afraid to say anything, fear is the worst thing.

This was my reply
I'm a democrat. My hero is Teddy Kennedy. I watched his memorial service today and cried all the way through
I was in the park the night our current President won the race. I cried during his speech. I don't believe in capitalism because I'm not rich. In fact I'm quite the opposite. I'm an artist.
I have a terrible credit rating.
I type grammatically.
I'm very intelligent. I'm a writer.
I can barely walk in my room for all the clothes strewn around it.
I stay up til all hours of the night watching ridiculous movies and writing very serious, passionate stories.
I'm loyal to my friends and lovers to a fault. It is almost a flaw.
I hold my self to an unachievable moral standard to which I hold no one else.
I'm intimidated by no one I've met so far in my 22 years. I have yet to meet any one who can best me in a debate on cinema, politics, literature ( classic or modern or post modern for that matter.) or music.
And frankly, You are quite possibly one of THE MOST pretentious people I have ever come in contact with to this very date and while I appreciate this fact, being as I am also an excessively pretentious person, I feel that our meeting would not only rip a hole in the fabric of the universe but it not end well.
Gracie
We're dating now.
