My Name is Dave and I used to be the epitome of the Lonely Heart.
Until I began to meet others via the WWW. Now, ...I really believe in the
DREAM. I am currently happily married to someone who loves me as much as I love her - for the first time in my life.
I welcome email from fans and friends. If you are a lonely heart, I
strongly suggest that you place an ad here and see what happens. You may be as
impressed as I was - especially if it leads to finding your soulmate.
The Dream
I still believe that two people can meet, fall in love and make a
commitment that can last the test of time and trial. My current union with my soulmate is proof-positive that the right person is out there, waiting for you. I am not putting down
20th Century relationships. I am attracted to secure women. It appears,
though, that most secure women see relationships as more disposable than
life-long.
Who Am I?
I am from Aberdeen in Grays Harbor County, Washington.
I first moved here back in
the 70's from Astoria, Oregon, and was active
in the local music scene. In school I was in a local dance band, Blue Flax.
Later, I played in a band, Ecclesia, while working at Teen Challenge and
Strings & Things Music, then moved to
Centralia. There I was
in two bands, Carpenter's Apprentice and Stratologeo. Then, I relocated to
Bellingham, where I
appeared regularly with Suzy and the Q's and DMV, throughout the Northwest and Canada, as well as peddling my solo material. Then, off to
Salem, Oregon, to persue
other venues.
Salem, Oregon
Okay, so I was lured by cash. (Musician's aren't known for making wads of
cash.) It was an experience. . . a bad one. In any case, I lost everything and
ended up right here, back in Hoquiam, Washington. A little cinged around the
edges, but still optomistic and a gentleman.
Suffering from a nervous breakdown, I became a recluse. Any social interaction came via the Internet, which - as I began to get-a-handle on my depression - began to interface with the real world.
WHY?
The most asked question that I get via e-mail, is Why in the world,
would you disclose so many intimate details about your private life, and make
it available on the World Wide Web ?
Good question. I suppose that it is because, when I started the Lonely
Hearts Club, I was a very different person than I am today. I was going through the worst breakup of a relationship and marriage that I had ever imagined, and was very depressed. I had lost everything that ever held any value to me,
including my three-month-old son.
For the first time in my life, I had nothing to protect. Nothing to hide. As I
was introduced to the Web, I guess that I did it because I didn't know that you
weren't supposed to. I did not know that full-disclosure was a no-no on the Web.
Here's the good news: I am a much more content person, less afraid and uptight,
with no worries and, "no bags," as my friend, Sergio says.
NEW LIFE
Launching this site resulted in a ton of e-mail. There were basically three
categories:
Lonely Hearts that wanted to post their ads on the Web, who, like I, believed in love.
Web Surfers who praised my site for being so unique, honest and open.
Web Surfers who thought I was crazy to be so transparent.
In my ignorance, I had developed a site unlike any other. The therapeudic
nature of this project has brought much peace to me, and love and happiness to
many others.
My only hope, is that this helps bring a wave of NEW LIFE to the internet and World Wide Web. Maybe, web-surfers are looking for something more than the antiseptic sites that are predominant on the Web. Hopefully, my site, will help promote a new, human element to sites everywhere. If not, mine is still here, nekked-as-a-jay-bird.
