Far away in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.I am from Montana, thirty eight years old, machinists by trade, love old cars, not neccesarily nice ones, just steel and power and strength, rather new to Milwaukee, been local since October of this year. These are just a few of the things that describe me on the surface, below all that, is something else; poet, writer, singer, explorer, adventuer, drum and guitar player, white water rafter, animal lover, tree climber, early morning sunset beholder, monitor lizard keeper (A Savannah and Asian Water Monitor) respectively, outdoorsy, rock climber, grill and bonfire master of a man.If I am able... I will trace my face with this paragraph, all that I am, was and/or hope to one day become; the man I see in my own eyes, the reflection I see in the eyes of a lover, a friend, a stranger, details I long to remember, and things I can never forget.Seemingly...From what I've seen and experienced, nothing is sacred in this day in age, everything is interchangeable and easily replaced. No one wants to fight to make relationships work, everyone thinks love is free and it isn't... it takes passion, forethought, sacrifice and a devotion to something far greater than any one person could ever hope to understand. It takes two to fully realize what love truly means, love... isn't just a word, far from it, love is a verb, an action... it's something you do and you do it not for any self-serving reasons, you do it while endeavoring to enhance the quality of life for the object of your adoration. This is what I want, this is why I'm here and this is what I'm offering; strength, protection, passion, fidelity, laughter, hope, romance, adventure, and last but not least, love... irreversible and indestructible; built on a foundation of friendship, honesty, trust, compromise and communication.All men dream but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may enact their dreams with open eyes and in so doing make them possible.One step in my direction, one look in my eyes and you'll see me for who I truly am, a man who could be so much more, if you'd only come take my hand.Thank you for reading...I hope that you find what you're searching for, even if it isn't me, someone who adores you as much as you deserve, cause when you find him, love... will inevitably find you.With hope and sincerityTravis
