I hope to have a boyish wonder about things until I am an old wrinkly man.

I care less about the type of package someone comes in and more about the qualities underneath that define a person. My friends come in all kinds of flavors; jocks, nerds, techies, artsy, laid back, over fueled... So it's fair to say that I enjoy dating people who like to mix up their crowds also. With my jocky suburban friends I'm the weird liberal artist in the room, with my city artist friends I'm the most corporate one in the room. This has always been both the bane and most rewarding part of my existence. I'm still searching for my mental doppelganger who has boobs and can crowd jump like this with me.

Some of my recent and past curiosities slash adventures...
last winter I visited South Korea.
The summer before that summer I took a 3 week working sabbatical to a little island in the East Sound, WA.
The summer before that I tried my hand at car racing.
The one before that I volunteered for the Red Cross.
A few years before that I had some scuba diving adventures.
This year I'm back to doing photography and loving it.

I'm a total film geek, I went to school for the arts, but now I build robots, go figure... I love it, but it is a roller coaster and I highly appreciate the partners that I share my life with who understand and support the ride I'm on.

I'm building a robot company. Seriously. It is going pretty well lately and I love it. My current plan is to move the company and me into the city in the next 24 months or sooner. I'm pretty sure my pickup line at the end of the night will be, "Wanna come see my robot factory!?" I think that would be pretty awesome don't you :)

Inappropriate humor, giving advice, handling copious amounts of liquor during long nights, project management, D/s, avoiding complacency, getting into deep conversations, making spreadsheets, forgetting what I'm supposed to get at the store, sarcasm.

Sheer height and lack of hair, lol. I'm the easiest person to find in a crowd ever. I'm a walking light house. It has its benefits.

Currently on my night stand or in queue: The Master Switch (about the history of technology communications), Bukowski - Women & Factotum, A billion Wicked Thoughts, Sarah Silverman The Bedwetter.

My most watched movies of all time? Probably these: Gattaca, Great Expectations, The Count of Monte Cristo, Dances with Wolves, Love Actually, Fight Club, Braveheart, Last of the Mohicans. Yes, I realize many of these aren't that original.

Recent Indies that I really liked: Shortbus, Secret Things, Strictly Sexual, YPF.

The West Wing was the greatest show on TV and I still watch my boxset. But lets be honest, it is probably the most harmless addiction I have. Currently I'm into American Horror Story, Justified, Californication, Mad Men, Modern Family, and I'm always into the Daily Show. Jon Stewart is my hero.

Something that is capturing my curiosity/drive
Good friends and family of course
Grilled cheese sandwiches
Good movies on a huge TV
Fun dirty immoral sex
Really really dark bedrooms with lots of pillows and blankets

What makes people, things, societies, plants, animals, and machines tick. How to get better at being happy. If crickets taste like steak to lizards.

Lately, probably working late, come save me!

I peed sitting down once.

You want to really. No need for more reason. I'm a boy online. We really don't have the overflowing inbox problem you cute girls do.

But anyhow, here are things I like if you are interested. I find it insanely attractive when a woman...

-has the social panache to mingle anywhere, but doesn't feel the need to try to make everyone love her. -isn't afraid to try and isn't afraid to fail. -Finds it sexy when a man does typical manly things, but also when he's good at geeky things -is curious by nature and becomes fascinated with new things. -Knows the difference between a good debate and an argument. -is past that stage where primal attraction to bad boys controls her romantic life, but is confident enough to require that her man has a decent amount of alpha in him -likes to tell people about interesting stuff she's read -knows what in life is petty and what isn't -Has presence
