About me:

Send me an IM! Send me an IM! Intense, talented, wise cracking artist/writer/self-publisher with college degree (mild-mannered commercial debt collector by day). Raising 13 year old daughter (apple of my eye). Born in Ca., grew up "back east" in northwestern CT, upstate NY, and southwestern Mass., interested in internet publishing & guerilla marketing, real estate investment, advanced sales & persuasion techniques, self-improvement systems and many other fascinating things (hummingbirds, unexplained mysteries such as Ideagasms, cats, etc.).

Have done many fascinating things in my life: toured with the Grateful Dead (emphasis on northern Ca.); skiied throughout New England and waterskiied in the Gulf of Mexico; worked with illegal immigrants picking pecans in an orchard by the San Pedro River in Cascabel, Arizona (where I also lived on a hippie commune in the mid-70s); had madcap adventures from Harvard Square to Miami Beach to Fisherman's Wharf; collaborated with some amazing, world-renowned artists...and I plan many more interesting events for the future! Am widely read, like children, pets, intelligent genuine non-pseudointellectual people, mountain climbing and biking, critics-darling type movies, massive amounts of music, art from the Greeks to Giotto to Jack Kirby and Andy Warhol...and the deep mysteries of Osho (for initiates only)...

"Existence is not a problem to be solved, it is a mystery to be lived. And you should be perfectly aware what the difference is between a mystery and a problem. A problem is something created by the mind; a mystery is something which is there, not created by the mind. A problem has an ugliness in it, like disease. A mystery is beautiful. With a problem, immediately a fight arises. You have to solve it; something is wrong, you have to put it right; something is missing, you have to supply the missing link. With a mystery there is no question like that. The moon arises in the night.... It is not a problem, it is a mystery. You have to live with it. You have to dance with it. You have to sing with it, or you can be just silent with it. Something mysterious surrounds you."
- Osho

“If you think you know what the hell is going on, you're probably full of shit...Belief is the death of intelligence. As soon as one believes a doctrine of any sort, or assumes certitude, one stops thinking about that aspect of existence...Intelligence is the capacity to receive, decode and transmit information efficiently. Stupidity is blockage of this process at any point. Bigotry, ideologies etc. block the ability to receive; robotic reality-tunnels block the ability to decode or integrate new signals; censorship blocks transmission.”..
- Robert Anton Wilson

"Work while the day lasts, because the night of death cometh when no man can work."
- Bob Dylan

Who I'd like to meet:

Intelligent, sincere, cute (not plastic) easy-going females, up to 5'5-5'6, approx. 27 to 39 preferrably...be non-dogmatic with respect to religion, college-educated (or working towards degree) preferred...I am a high-quality person who attracts the same...

*For Friends & Chat: Exceptionally talented writers, artists, photographers, and musicians; researchers into the mysteries of the unknown; anybody interested in the topics in my Groups...or more people like the "Friends of T.S. Minton" posted here on my website...

Remarkable people I HAVE met: comic book trailblazers Jack Kirby and Jim Steranko; the quintessence of singer/songwriters, Shawn Colvin; business tycoon and philanthropist Henry Kravis; UFO researchers Col. Wendelle Stevens, Ted Loman, and co.; South African wildlife/tribal/marine artist Nico Vosloo; southwestern artistic great Carlos Hadaway, among others.

    hey steve! HELLO WORLD/FRIEND!  HAPPY SEPTEMBER! In America, it is obvious our National Media WILL NOT report on ALL the news we need to make informed decisions. The slogan "All the News that's Fit to Print" actually is meant to read 'all the news WE decide we want to print'. The MEDIA has earned our distrust & disgust. Like it or not, the Internet has now become our source for information. Not the news that's fit to print, but EVERYTHING. 'We the People' can discern in our own minds what the Truth is or is not, by seeing, reading & verifying ALL the available data. The Media has only itself to blame for this. In America, TeleJournalistas like Bill O'Reilly, Sean Hannity, Glenn Beck, Lou Dobbs (sorry Glenn & Lou), Greta, Rachel, Larry, et al (in fact virtually every one of them) have poisoned the industry by spinning the news to fit their own personal agendas, instead of covering all the facts & evidence. The local news reporters are mere puppets mouthing only what they are told to say. Yes, they do give us some of the picture, but PURPOSELY do not report it all. 9/11 is a perfect example of this. The most insidious crime in our nations history, and THEY REMAIN SILENT ABOUT IT. Also, "President" Obama's credentials are SUSPECT, and they refuse to investigate/report. For this the National Media must be held accountable in the Trials to come. There is a Revolution afoot in America today, a Positive & Peaceful Revolution, and We the People, the Rightful Masters of our own Destiny, will not be fooled any longer. Fool Me Once, Shame on You, Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me. Please Join The World Truth Tour and Help Share the TRUTH!
