ronaldeckessar: Romantic, Conservative Christian

We are all unique; but I am uniquely unique, especially in this ultra-liberal society of New York. I have ZERO vices --don't smoke, drink, do drugs, marijuana, gamble-- none of that crap!-- and am a firm believer in that sex has no place outside of marriage between a man and a woman, much to the contrary of what our degenerate culture may have us believe.
Perhaps I should not be on this site, since I have never liked "hanging out," which seems to imply wasting valuable time in shallow chatting at some bar or club or at the mall. I am drawn only to what is beautiful and profound, and have zero interest in superficial activities and pursuits. Partying, dancing, discotheques, "night life," amusement parks, clubs, bars, going to restaurants, "travelling to see the world" --none of these things interest me, and never have. On the other hand, hiking, camping, birdwatching, foraging for wild foods, kiyaking --in short, exploring God's unfathomable creation fascinates me, as it always has since I was a child.
I listen to classical music --especially Mozart, whom, in my professional opinion, I consider God's greatest musical gift to mankind, and is the best music for the developing minds of babies and children. How much different the world might be if what permeated their souls were the divinity of this unique composer rather than the trash and shallowness that is so popular in an age where anyone who can wiggle his rear end is called an "artist." God help us!
I do not waste time watching television. In fact, I have never had a television. I am in agreement with the late Cardinal O' Conner who called it "a radioactive wasteland." I do, however, enjoy getting together with a friend, on occasion, to watch a classic movie. The greatest movies came out during Hollywood's Golden Era --the 1930s, 40s, and 50s-- at a time when the Hays Code would not have allowed, nor would the audiences of that time approved of the gratuitous sex, the excessive violence, and the foul language taken for granted today. Moreover, the movies of that time, even the worst, were at least wholesome; and, in general, were treated as an art form. Casablanca ('43), Treasure of the Sierra Madre ('48), The Grapes of Wrath('40), The Best Years of Our Lives ('48), Shane ('53), the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol --with these, cinematography reached its peak --a peak from which it has fallen precipitously to accomodate an audience for whom a movie must be a constant roller-coaster ride of nonstop action or technical wizardry.
I am an avid reader and a prolific writer. In fact, I have written and publishe two books: Foraging for Wild Foods in the New York Metropolitan Area, and The Truth About Nutrition and Other Matters Pertaining to Health. The first reflects my love of nature; the second, my intense interest in health and nutrition. In regard to the latter, I exercise regularly, have ZERO vices (as previously mentioned), and eat only natural, unprocessed foods, mostly fruits, greens, sprouts, sprouted nuts and seeds, whole grains such as quinoa and wild rice, and, on occasion, some fish or a little grass-fed beef. I do not eat at restaurants, none of which can prepare a meal as healthful as what I myself can prepare at home, nor do I ever eat out anywhere. If I have to travel, I take food with me from home. Such a regimen, I am most happy to say, which I have adhered to since 1980, has done WONDERS for my health!
I believe that we are living in the last days of this human system of things, about which Jesus and the Apostle Paul spoke so condemningly of. It behooves us to live with this in mind, rather than going about our daily lives as if all were just fine and dandy --perhaps in the belief that politicians, scientists, or technologists will eventually solve the world's problems. The truth, though, is that the world's problems lie beyond the ability of humans to solve, much to the contrary of what is popularly believed. Simply KNOWING that thousands of nuclear weapons capable of wiping out entire metropolitan areas can be launched with just the press of a button ought to have us on our knees praying for God's intervention. Yes, that kingdom that many of us were taught to pray for --"thy kingdom come, thy will be done..."--must "come" to put an end to the madness and perversion that permeates this world.

I hope to find on this site a sweet, gentle, God-fearing woman who embraces simplicity in her life.
