Let's see...well...I relocated to Oklahoma from Illinois for my job and it's VERY different here! LOL! I'm a very unique person with many diverse tastes. I am a big fan of anything exotic....whether it be foreign locales or exotic food! (anyone know of any good Indian restaurants around here?). By the way...I actually live in Edmond! :-)

I'm really tall (6'5), dark (Spanish, German, Italian, Mexican and French), and people (WHO ARE NOT BLIND!) have described me as being handsome.

As far as politics go...I descibe myself as a Libertarian. I think the current two-party system here in the USA sucks big time. I don't think Republicans or Democrats represent anyone but their own self-serving interests. I met Ron Paul when I was in high school and have been his biggest fan ever since!

I did my undergrad (Historic Preservation and Community Planning) in Charleston, SC and did my graduate work in Rhode Island (Theology) and Ohio (City/Regional Planning). I LOVE to travel and have been known to just hop in my car and go to some random places on road trips at a minutes notice.

Just a random factoid about myself..I derive my comical skills from Ben Stiller, Christopher Walkin, and the animated characters from "Family Guy". HAHA!

Ohh...I do have all of my teeth too! :-)

Working in higher education (at UCO)...with a theological twist! ;-)

Making people laugh, romance, kissing, cooking, reading, anything relating to music, philosophy/theology, architecture, history (Medieval), reading people, trivia (the more random the better!), world religions, ghosts hunting, cuddling, singing karaoke, Italian/German opera (yes...I can sing opera) and Gregorian chant (in Latin of course!), working on pipe organs, playing football, baseball and volleyball, convincing people to agree with me (HAHA!), scaring little kids with my size and my booming bass-baritone voice.

My height, my hazel eyes, my passion, my rockin intellect and my sense of humor! Oh...and how I love to have a friendly debate with people on theology...especially liturgical theology....I'm such a medievalist. HA!

I have been told that I am also a very passionate person...it comes from my artistic/musical background. If you look up the definition of "duende"...you will find a pic of me next to that definition. ;-)

I spend a lot of time thinking about how cool it would be if our cars could be fly...ya know...like "The Jetsons"!

Also, I spend a lot of time thinking how ironic it is that people who claim to be "free-thinkers" and open-minded...just also happen to be some of the most close-minded, intolerant people that I have ever met. For example, I am a Roman Catholic Christian...and some people think that Roman Catholics are intolerant and narrow-minded. Having a specific opinion about something (whether it be a faith/moral issue or whatever), does not mean that that person is narrow-minded...it just means that they have a differing opinion. Is that a crime???? I don't like anyone judging me because I freely choose to belive in Catholicism...just like I don't judge anyone who chooses to believe in nothing at all. I have many friends who are not Christian and that has never been a barrier in me respecting who they are or what they believe in. Respect is key in making this world a better place for everyone.

Looking for something fun to do...hopefully with someone else! (hint, hint! ;-)

Well...if I said it on here...it wouldn't be private now, would it? ;-)

If you are funny, intelligent, drama-free (no ex, baby/daddy drama), and have all your teeth and FEMALE body parts! LOL! If you are a musician or have any sort of musical talent...that would be a big plus...and of course, if you are a theologian...you MUST write me! ;-)

Don't message me if you are anti-Catholic, intolerant of other people's views/opinions, close-minded, don't bathe on a regular basis, or if you sound like a man. HAHA!
