Charismatic, positive and humorous is me, in a nutshell. I will chat about anything, for I am just as comfortable chatting about world politics, sports and Italian wine as I am chatting about, say, reality TV. I play electric guitar and played the violin for 13 years. I aspire to write Adam Sandler-like songs on the guitar, and just love to rock out to Weird Al Yankovic on weekends.

;-)

Some of my favorites:

-live bands / DJ sets (bands I've seen within the last year include The Black Crowes, Garbage, Snow Patrol, Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz, Bush, Filter, Chevelle, Duran Duran, Psychedelic Furs, The Cranberries, etc.)
-reading
-traveling
-cooking
-The University of Wisconsin
-working out and walking everywhere
-serving on the Neighborhood Council
-pro sporting events
-North End & South End restaurants
-spending time with both my 7-yr-old niece & 3-yr-old nephew

I am looking for a great lady with whom to cook, see a band, travel, walk the city streets hand-in-hand and have a snowball fight (amongst a myriad of other activities).

Lastly, my pictures are current, I really am 6'1 (without socks and shoes) and have a full head of hair.

Life in general, my niece and nephew, music, my next trip, my professional future and my neighborhood.

Out to dinner/drinks, at a show, relaxing, etc.

When I was 10 years old, I was in an elevator with my Dad, in Atlantic City. My Dad whispered to me that the guy standing next to us was a famous singer named Tony Bennett. Naturally, I turned to Tony and told him I loved his music and was his biggest fan.

You have a strong sense of who you are, what you are about and where you want to go in life; equally enjoy going out and staying in and both upbeat and low-key leisurely activities; are bright, witty/humorous, sensitive, open-minded, fun-loving, optimistic, engaging and athletic. A killer smile is a bonus.

It would be cool if you happen to live within subway-accessible distance.
