I am a quiet person observing the events of life that transpire around me. Events in my life have led me to different places, but I have spent a majority of my life living in California. I have enjoyed many other places, but family, friends and the wonderful weather out here has led me back.

I had begun starting up a couple businesses near the Bay Area when family begun retiring up here in Oroville. I chose to leave that area and put the businesses on hold a bit while I help family move up here. Settling in the area has been a bit of a struggle these few months, but I'm progressing forward.

Not having friends up here has been the most difficult. Not knowing the area, or anyone around I don't get to enjoy what life has to offer me here yet. I'm hoping to change this before Next Spring.

I was working on expanding two business of mine, when life threw me a curveball and I transplanted up into Oroville to help my parents move for their retirement. Wanting to be close I moved up here to be with them, and with the area and the economy my businesses have slipped to the wayside while I find a real job, and work on getting into my own place.

I currently got into a temporary job that I hope to be kept on as permanent after the end of the term, but that will only be told by the passage of time.

I am really good at listening to what others want and analyzing the outcomes. More often than not I am dead on with my interpretations. Most of all I am skilled at cultivating and designing green and edible landscapes.

I have a desire and a knack for making things with my hands. I used to be a decent artist but for years I have not practiced and don't seem to be near the quality I used to be. From building things with wood or metal to crafting in yarn with knitting and crocheting.

I'm really great at learning new things that interest me. This is part of the reason why I love taking up new hobbies to try them out.

I'm NOT really good at the violin, but I started picking it up and hope to serenade myself to sleep one day.

I can also cook decently, but I really dislike the chore of it.

I am quiet. I am a man of few words, but the words I choose are often insightful.

Too many to list but at this current moment I am indulging in Game of Thrones tv show since I have loved the series since its inception.

The Big Bang Theory is my favorite sitcom, and Sons of Anarchy my favorite drama. There are so many other shows that I watch its best to ask me.

I have not read much fiction since George R. R. Martin finished his fourth book in the Saga of Fire and Ice series. His writing ruined a lot of the lesser quality writing out there. I still picked up some old books, and I have soft spot for old fantasy pulp fiction. Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft are my faves.

Music really depends on my mood. I am more into the melody of the pieces than the lyrics unless it is a comedy. Pandora is my best friend this way. Depending on my mood I could be listening to Classical, rock, techno, international, country (real country not pop country), or even the occasional rap song by a couple artists I don't mind. I really dislike most Rap and R&B and my collections reflect this. White Zombie is my favorite band along with Primus. Classical rock I cannot narrow down a favorite band, but I really sit back and relish some Stones, Beatles, or lavish in the talents of Pink Floyd.

Internet. (Sadly i am plugged into the knowledge and leisure of it)
Open air.
Good soil to grow in.
Red sauce pasta.
Pen/pencil to sketch or write
The number Five.

Everything. My mind constantly goes. I can be thinking of philosophy one moment and recall some silly video from Tosh.O the next. I love history and see it evolve and repeat around me.

I'm winding down from a week of work.

I've seriously considered what it would be like to live and work in Scotland.

You aren't crazy or drama. Also if you would like to get to know one another ahead of meeting. I tend to have a long vetting process, but I'm very open to meeting people online.

Also if you have a love of learning new things or gardening I would love chatting and getting to know more.
