Character Development

NOTA BENE THIS CAVEAT!: :-)
MIKEY DON'T FLIRT!! You may perceive me to be openheartedly, playfully friendly, but THAT IS ALL. I am NOT here (in LA or on Tribe) to pursue carnal relationships. HIGHER PURPOSE & BUSINESS FIRST. If you're "interested" in me let me know, but very few women meet my standards for intimate relationships.

PS: I've never been a user of illegal drugs (except for sharing a friend's joint on 4 occasions!), but I don't judge or attempt to convert those who do. Non-usage doesn't make me "holier than thou," and I don't consider users "wrong." Perhaps a majority of my friends have been drug users. However, having lived this long without using drugs just to fit in because others do, or to achieve temporary and non-essential results, I'm not about to start now. If that makes me uncool from your perspective, so be it.

Serious/\Seducible, Selective/\Accepting, Professional/\Exuberant, Smart/\Naive, Grounded/\Dreamer, Coach/\Nurturer, Businessman/\Artist, Filmmaker/\Actor, Erotic/\Gentleman, OldSoul/\PeterPan, Spiritual/\Material, Contrast/\Consistency, Duality/\Unanimity, 3.15 Pisces 3/\Leo-Virgo Rising/\Scorpio Moon (Day of The Heights; Week of Dancers & Dreamers; Way of Versatility).

All that is Woman is my Inspiration: Lifegiver, Visionary, Nurturer, Sensualist... I prefer to share myself sexually with Women, not "girls": Guileless, Healthy, and capable of Lifelong Friendship. For me, sex is a Heart Connection, not an impulsive game. Time between such Divine Connections is well-spent: Patient, Selective, and very comfortably Quirky-Alone, in my lovely Home, shared with Very Special Friends. When Friend becomes Lover (not merely "sex object"), the Deep, Prolonged, Intense PassiOn of the Woman in Our Sexual Communion (Come-Union!) is the greatest Joy I can Share and Co-Create... Special, Rare, Ideal... a True Treasure.

Passionate for Action & Efficiency. Infuriated by Boastfulness/Pridefulness, & Redundancy. Zero Tolerance for Leeches, Wanna-Be's & Cokewhores. Impressed by Do-Be's: Justifiably Proud, Productive, Enthusiastic, Joy-filled Team Players whose Deeds are more Prolific than their Words... and who Confidently Request what they Truly Need & Desire, without "guessing games." Such Gifted Souls will find a Happy Home in my Realm, where Reciprocal Generosity enables Fulfilled Hopes & Dreams: "From Each according to their Means, To Each according to their Needs."

Many consider me to be a Spritual kinda guy, but I seem to be rather Scientific as well. Enrolled as an Engineering major at Northwestern U.'s Technological Institute ("Top 5 in the US"), as a Sophomore I transferred to Radio-TV-Film. E.g., my empirical study of Astrology began at age 14; after many years, I began to understand & trust its complex systems. IMHO, there are more Metaphysical Mysteries than our current minds & instruments can quantify.

Please let me know if you've actually read all this, esp. if you actually got anything out of it. :)

MISSION:
To support actualization
of benevolent dreams,
assist life’s evolution on Earth,
assist Imagination, Inspiration and Intuition,
and illuminate a balance between
the material and the spiritual.

ILLUMINATING QUOTES:
"Jealousy, pettiness, envy, or a need to feel superior to others is just so childish, really. I am most impressed by those who hold themselves with the utmost of respect and treat others accordingly. There are very few people who are able to rise above their animal instincts, but those that do are highly regarded by me."
~ 'Goddess of Pleasure and Death,
Mistress Victoria Kalimata'

"Small minds seek to judge, as if they know more. Great minds seek to understand, so that they will."
~ Christian Fauchald

"We are not human beings having
occasional spiritual experiences;
we are spiritual beings having
occasional human experiences."
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
(paraphrased by mw)

"Our deepest Fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest Fear is that we are Powerful beyond measure.
It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be
Brilliant, Beautiful, Talented and Fabulous?
Actually, who are you NOT to be?
You are a child of God.*
Your playing small doesn't serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to manifest the glory of God* that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
our presence automatically liberates others."
~ Marianne Williamson, "Return to Love" 1992
* FYI, I often translate 'God' to 'The Universe.'

“People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest.”
“It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is.”
"If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself. What isn't part of ourselves doesn't disturb us. "
"...each of us has to find out for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden - forbidden for him. It is possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard. And vice versa. Actually it's only a question of convenience. Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and be their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them; things are forbidden to them that every honorable man will do any day in the year and other things are allowed to them that are generally despised. Each person must stand on his own feet."
"You know quite well, deep within you, that there is only a single magic, a single power, a single salvation... and that is called loving. Well, then, love your suffering. Do not resist it, do not flee from it. It is your aversion that hurts, nothing else."
~ Herman Hesse

Valentine's Day 'Manifestation' 2K7...

...came to me in a dream...

So, what do I really want? I've said that "very few women meet my standards for intimate relationships." So, what are my standards?

Simple.

All I really seek is a gal who's:

Kind,
Affectionate, +
Fun.

That's all.
Is that so hard?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3.19.07 update:
hmmm, this seems to be working...
with my birthday week nearing its end,
the good gals have been comin' around,
keeping the energy vampires away... :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
as of 5.5.07, it is clear:
She is Erica. She is in Westminster CA, but we will be seeing much of her...
you will also come to love her, of that I have no doubt. :-)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Current Update:
despite plans for Erica to move to LA, that idea dissolved when she moved further away, to Huntington Beach; & changed her employer from Chapman U. to UC Irvine, also more distant!
So we see each other 1-3 times/month, in a 'long-distance open relationship'; basically, "just dating."
We're VERY different, NOT a 'match.' She is dating independently in her neighborhood, which I wholeheartedly support. I'm committed to 'friendship first,' to Erica's individual growth... any joint experiences and ventures are tasty icing on the cake!

Meanwhile – my parents (for whom I'd been caring since mid-2003) recently died. My irreplaceable Ofc Mgr, Ginger - along with my Housekeeper, Morena - provides an essential balance of feminine nurturance in my life.

NB re. Friend Requests:

I generally ignore any request to add me as a friend from anyone I've not met IRL (In Real Life). This protects the honor of my Friendships, and the meaning of the word Friend! My Friends may not mirror my every perspective; they are people whose energy is comfortable to me, and to whom I feel comfortable extending some level of Trust. That's Something Special, and I endeavor to safeguard those Special Connections!

Circle of Trust

September 26, 2007
I love this man. He has the soul of an angel, and a sensitive and gentle spirit which I cannot describe fairly with words. I feel so very taken care of and loved in his presence. Always the perfectionist and artist, he demands the best from the people in his life, and I feel blessed to be his partner. He's given me faith that love can happen, and healing can begin.
June 24, 2007
Michael is a one in a million friend..that I will love forever. He has a heart of gold..and is one of the most accepting people I have ever met.

He is a creative genius. Any project he takes on..(whether it's acting, promotion, or photography)...he is a perfectionist..with an eye for even the most minute details.

Oh...and BTW ladies...for any of you that are fortunate enough to become romantically/physically involved with him..you will find him a most considerate, caring lover. A rare commodity for one so well endowed. ;-)

My heartfelt thanks to your God given gift of not only capturing my physical appearance but also simultaneously encouraging my higher spiritual self to be displayed in our photo shoot (which aired on Fox News’ Hannity and Colmes cablecast on 9.8.06). You and your partner, Chris Gahran, had less than 24 hours to pull off a phenomenal shoot, which was accomplished with the highest integrity and positive results, despite the extraordinarily tight TV deadline.

What strikes me most about the successful shoot is the way in which you approach your clients, Michael. The relaxation and meditation done prior to the actual shoot, along with your encouragement of me and playing of my favorite CD's put me more at ease; all this immediately helped to buttress my higher spiritual self and ultimately empowered me to expose my true self through your sensitive and trained eyes, and state-of-the-art equipment. All of these multifaceted components of your exquisite photographic expertise separates you from other photographers.

I have since received multiple compliments on your portrait of me; and rest assured I have and will continue to send all of my professional and personal contacts to your studio – so that all of my associates can ultimately be assisted with their personal and professional photographic needs by you and Chris Gahran, who are simply stated... extraordinary and overtly gifted artistic photographers in the Los Angeles area. It was truly a pleasurable investment!
March 15, 2007
Happy Birthday MW! You are a truly unique individual, and I wish you all the best on this and all future birthdays. Keep up the high energy and positive vibes.
February 20, 2006
Basically, Michael saved my life.

I can attest to Michael's skills in team leadership and personal-success coaching - that's what he's done for me! Since our friendship evolved into professional collaboration, my social network has expanded exponentially, and we've co-created the opportunities for my lifelong goals to become realized. What can I say, but Thank You, Michael!

You may know that the past few years have been quite a challenge for me. In 2003 I sold the old Chicago homestead, bought a place for my folks, & moved 'em out here to the San Fernando Valley. It was an immense task, but I'm the only child, so that's just part of my job. :-) Since then, much time has been spent acclimating & assisting them (Mom's post-polio syndrome made her dependent on a wheelchair-or-walker sometime around 2001), plus lotsa Home Improvement...

I'd be honored if you ... read more
