Hello. My name's Daren, but my friends affectionately know me as dub. I try to live and perceive life philosophically, and energetically. I strive to be virtuous, and to better myself, and the world.

I love nature, camping, organizing gatherings in the woods, and playing west african percussion. I'm enthusiastic about music, mostly blues, jazz, funk, soul and rock which incorporates these genres. I buy and listen to used, vintage vinyl records. I'm socially and politically conscious, and active. I'm environmentally conscious, and conservational, rejecting just about all disposable products, as well as chemicals.

I'm not monogomous, I'm polyamorous (poly). I believe in having many meaningful relationships in an open, honest, and ethical manner. I have one amazing partner (MissMamaBear), and am not currently seeing anyone else significantly. I would like to though. I want to meet a like-minded person for developing intimate friendship that may lead to a more meaningful, romantically, emotionally, and sexually intimate relationship. I am basically interested in sharing myself with good people on whatever level is mutually desired, no matter what that level may be.

Loving unconditionally while forever on a personal path to enlightenment.
