Just a nice, honest guy looking for good people to have fun with and maybe something more substantial eventually. I can be quiet at first but I enjoy life and am having fun exploring the opportunities it brings. I'm a good listener who cares about being there for the people in his life, especially when they're in need. I'm pretty straightforward, I don't play mind games. I've got a job I love and a great group of friends... what more can I ask for?

My personality is resistant to classification. I've got some preppy professionalism mixed in with a healthy portion of geeky quirkiness, a little jock competitiveness, and a dash of urban swagger.

I'm an emergency room nurse. Like I said above, I love my job and couldn't ask for a better place to put my skills to work. It's hard work but it's good work that challenges me in different ways every day.

Listening, making people feel comfortable, making fun of myself and my friends, cuddling, giving back rubs and massages, and having fun.

I don't know, let's meet up and you can tell me!

I love listening to hip-hop, especially more socially conscious artists like Talib Kweli, The Roots, Common, and Mos Def. Recently TI and Nas have crept to the top of my playlist. Stuff that's serious musically with a message beyond money, rims, and violence.

When I'm in the mood for something more subdued I generally turn to reggae or the blues. Sublime and Jill Scott are definite favorites.

Books? I don't read often anymore but when I do it's a fairly wide variety of authors. I find reading fantasy and sci-fi books to be a good break from the real world every once in a while. I've read some great Buddhist texts recently too.

I used to spend way too much time playing videogames of all shapes and sizes but have cut way back recently. No more 24 hr gaming sessions for me, though I still can break out the 360 and Wii when all else fails.

Food - I have a massive sweet tooth and could eat anything with too much sugar in it, though I've been able to avoid doing so lately. I would love to have the willpower to be a vegetarian because I don't like the idea of eating other beings, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. I like a wide variety of foods including Mexican, Thai, sushi, Italian, and good old American cuisine.

I'm pretty sure there's nothing I couldn't do without, short of water, food, & shelter. There's plenty of things I'm happy to have though, like good music, good friends, and good company.

What comes next... should be exciting to find out. The last year has been somewhat of a blur, but also the freeest and most interesting of my life. Hopefully life stays this interesting!

There's a 50% chance I'm working, on the other 50% I'm out with friends. Sometimes it's over to someone's house for a quiet movie night, other times it's out to New Haven for entertainment.

I'm a cuddlewhore. I could lay and cuddle all day with someone whose company I enjoy. Does that make me less masculine? I don't care, it feels good!

You're looking for someone fun, straightforward, and honest to talk to or spend time with. Or you just think I'm irresistibly sexy.
