Note: I get a lot of profile views, but very few messages. I challenge you! dear viewer, to message me. And to make it through this overly long profile.

I'm an odd one. Add together (This used to say a name I have since retracted. Maybe you could help me with a new one.) Fitzwilliam Darcy, Han Solo and a wolfy grin and you're just about there. I'm a man who strives for things - non-hypocritical righteousness, a clearer mind, better music, kinder actions, sharper teeth, a stronger soul, deeper knowledge and a more beautiful existence.

And goodness. Always goodness.

Early in profile note: I do have an amazing primary partner, with whom I am in a wonderful open relationship. You'll like her.

Getting my first album ready for publication.

Listening to Gnarls Barkley's "St. Elsewhere" album over, and over, and over.

Working to death, and exploring a lot of ideas. I've started identifying as polyamorous over the past few years. It's been a long time coming, and worth the wait and the work. This doesn't mean, however, that I'm incapable of commitment; who I'm with depends on who I'm with.

Living the Glorious Future!

...A lot of things. I'm almost annoyingly perceptive - most of the time I can guess private personal details accurately after knowing someone for a short time.

Sexing of ridiculous durations and intensities. (No, really.)

Dressing quite well. Lateral thinking. Singing.

Being very, very organized and amused with myself when it falls down flat.

Recognizing patterns. Listening well. Caring about things that matter to the people I love.

Obscure or oblique tech stuff, and once I know you well enough I'll want to tell you ALL ABOUT IT.

Applying ludicrously effective g-spot pressure. I said a sexual thing, ladies! BE SEDUCED.

That I'm holding a door open for them, and grinning warmly;

That I look like a piece of classical american literature and the Motorhead song "Ace of Spades" fucked and dumped me in a trash can under the Belmont Red Line station.

We all skip reading this, don't we?

Books; I'm slowly working my way through classics on my phone. If you see me in public staring at it for hours, I'm probably reading the Picture of Dorian Gray or The Prince. Or more likely watching Top Gear.

I have a high tolerance for bad movies. I can't tell you have many times I've seen Manos: The Hands of Fate. (Worst movie ever made. No, worse than that one. And that one. Let me just show you).
I do love good ones, though. Things like The Hunt for Red October, Solaris, Sunshine, Trading Places, The Dark Knight, Star Wars III-VI, Pi, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, The Shawshank Redemption and others.

Music is a constant element in my life. I have spare headphones in my car, my bag (which backup bigger, better headphones), everywhere I need them. Some artists, now:

Music. When you were a child, you were taught books could take you places - music takes me to emotional states I otherwise would never encounter. I have lived a thousand lives, between my headphones. I have learned, better, how to live this one.

My [Android] phone. Having One Device that does everything is a revelation.

Clothes that fit.

Touch! All kinds. All durations. All intensities.

Genuine, nerdy, warm people.

Love.

Whether my neighbors are confused by the sound of a [digital] grand piano coming from my living room.

Truth. Right. Kindness.

Music - lately rhythms, and how to process them.

People, and what motivates them.

Why concerts are so loud at small venues - Who is this ear-damaging volume for? Why are we perpetuating it?

All the people listed as "available" that make no mention of being poly or in an open relationship.

I don't know what's up with the "Similar To" guys being listed as "hornier." I wear people out.

Figuring out where I can eat cheaply, and spending hours there, unwinding with my laptop. Maybe out at a minor league baseball game, with friends, or at home doing something joyfully, nerdfully complex with technology.

At my desk, making music. My socializing rarely conforms to the weekend.

With you?

I growl. Not can growl. Do growl.

My bike has GEARS. #ilikemyknees

I'm a sucker for excellent tracts of land. And even more of a sucker for short hair.

You know that you're a petrolhead when your wallpaper is the naked chassis of the original Lamborghini Miura prototype...

There's a katana slung over my back, most of the time. It's a difficult to see if you're not in my mind, though.

It is fairly common for me to measure my sex life, when I'm active, in hours per week.

I am very, very serious about sexual safety. Not the "had the conversation so we can say we were safe" safe. Safe as in safe - every single time. See my Journal for more on this.

I'm much more impressed by someone who's hot at 28 than someone who's hot at 18.

I eat meats. It is very unlikely that I will ever stop eating meat. It's cool if you don't, though.

Occasionally if I like a person enough I ditch my usual composure and speak in lolcat.

I believe alimony (in marriages when both partners have careers) is an absolutely fiendish concept.

I wear boot-cut jeans and good looking, excellently capable hiking boots at all times, in all temperatures.

My status states straight as I'm more looking for women right now - I'd be a 2 on the Kinsey scale.

My computer automatically shifts the color temperature of its monitors from sunlight to the equivalent of incandescent light over the course of an hour, starting at sundown. My phone reads my calendar and goes on vibrate when I'm at work.

These kind of modifications are simply the daily norm for me.

When I die, it will probably be with a sword in my hand - ancestral tradition.

Last thought: I'm fiercely liberal, and openly political. I won't shove anything on you, but it's there for me every day.

NOTE:
If your profile says something along the lines of "I'm too good for you" you'll never get a message from me. Ever. Self-involved, maliciously demeaning people are not on my radar. If you get pleasure from making others feel bad, you can fuck off. Right out of my life.

RIGHTS BABY. Anyway!

You can spell, and haz grammar.

You can deal with a man who makes great efforts to be intelligent, moral, respectful and kind - while still openly and joyfully sexual.

You know what a cloture vote is.

You'd like to discuss random but enthralling topics, like the differences in soda as per packaging, or whether the Cheshire Cat was actually unconstrained by the rules and systems that other residents of Wonderland inherently adhered to.

You can debate without fighting. This is important.
