Alright, I'm new to this so here it goes...First thing first, I am an amazing person. No, really I totally am. You don't even have to know me for that....Oh no I'm not a narcissist, it's just a fact....alright, alright you can use your judgment for that one. Anyways, I just moved to St. Pete from the Chicago land area. I left all prospective endeavors behind, including my job and all my friends, but I'm adventurous like that and totally ready for a change of pace. I am a musician by trade as indicated by my pictures. Primarily a guitarist, but I do play other instruments such as the bass, keyboards, mandolin, and I like to bang on the drums whenever I get a chance. Music is my life, my religion, and my essence. I try to incorporate it into anything I do. I'm not a picky listener though, I find beauty in all genres, and don't believe what type of music you listen to determines your personality or who you associate with. That is my main passion, although I do have a flair for politics. I read somewhere that talking about politics is one of the biggest turn-offs for women, so don't worry about incoherent ramblings about government corruption, unless you're into that that is... you're not are you... o well... Intellectualism is also a big part of my life. I'm not looking for a brain surgeon or anything, hell there's smart people in all professions, but independent thought, questioning of authoritative figures, and not believing everything spoon fed to you through the media are all attributes I find attractive, among others. Basically I need someone engaging and able to stand alone and make educated deductions about the world around. A good debate is always appreciated, and plus it builds up a healthy aggression level for later on activities hehe... Ok, I don't want to drone on and on about trivial aspects and cryptic descriptions of my life, so I'll wrap it up. I actually am a terrifically nice guy. If your looking for someone to treat you like shit (which oddly enough seems to be what a lot of girls are into) I'm probably not your man. I'm way too sarcastic, but I'm just looking for humor everywhere. Having a good time and enjoying all the little things life has to offer is really one of the main things to strive for. Life is just the quest for enjoyment and fulfillment ultimately, so why not have fun while you can? With that said, humor is a big part of life as well. I'm not easily offended, and I'm very laid back and easy going. A few quick things: I do drink, but not to excess, I love to smoke, but I don't smoke cigarettes, I'm not religious, but open to all ideas, so any problems with that and you should just keep lookin'. All in all we all have our issues and flaws, but if your looking for a nice guy who likes to have fun maybe you should hit me up...

Well I just left a nice guitar teaching gig up in chi-town to come here. I have worked in music stores for the past five or six years doing everything from various instrument repairs jobs, to guitar and bass teaching, to any maintenance jobs I thought I was capable of. I was working on my degree in music performance/ business, but I had certain life issues that detracted me from that. I do intend to finish up my degree within the next 2-3 years, I just have to get my shit in order first. I also have apprenticed under a luthier building guitars. That is something I'm constantly interested in. As of now I am looking for a job in the music education fields, but I'll settle for anything until I can complete my degree. I also have toyed with the idea of going into sound engineering and recording. I'm looking to start a band as well, but I've been here for so little time I haven't met many people yet. I'd love to have a female in the band to add new insight. Plus it'd be more sex appeal. Well all-in-all I am looking for a job for now, but I already have some leads and am confident I'll secure one soon enough. I'm more than willing to give guitar lessons to certain girls at discounted prices though...

Music, playing guitar, teaching guitar, debating, partying, chess I used to actually be on a team.......

Well my eyes are usually the first things notices, maybe my hair or smile, at least that's what I notice about myself haha...

Well books just for starters: Atlas Shrugged, 1984, Divine Comedy, Catch-22, A Peoples History of the United States, Movies are: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Big Lebowski, Blow, Big Fish, Kill Bill, Citizen Kane, etc. Music is: Led Zeppelin, Phish, Bob Marley, Traffic, The Grateful Dead, Steely Dan, Frank Zappa, Jazz, Jam Bands, ELP, Pink Floyd]], [classic rock in general, Wes Montgomery, Tom Waits way too many more to list. Just Ask. I also like food a lot. You can figure that one out.

1. Women
2. Music
3. Playing Music
4. Listening to Music
5. Creative expression of all types
6. Certain mind altering substances

Music, Politics, women, guitar, making money, things that disconnect me from reality, the universe, aliens, parallel universes, ya know the usual stuff.

Intoxicated, at a concert, or playing at one. I go to bars fairly often. Also just hanging with some good people is always a plus. Partying is fun, but I don't know anyone around here yet. So if you wanna party with me, let me know.

That depends on the definition of private. I haven't been in any relationship longer than 6 months..... I'm sure that's mainly my fault, but I'm willing to try harder.

you like music. If you like partying. If you like having a good time. If you like guys with blond hair and blue eyes, If you think musicians, especially guitarists, are sexy. If you like intellectual and deep conversation. If you like meeting nice guys. If you like meeting interesting people. I'll put more in here later...
