I recently described myself as a Father, Traveler, and Marketing Guy. I suppose that will work for here as well.

I believe I'm starting Chapter 4 of my story. In this one, I move to New York while most of the people I love are still in LA. But, the job I love is in NY. I've settled in Brooklyn and am starting to feel something close to at home. I've found love here and am open to more.

Staying as close as I can to and supporting my son. Seeing this world. Selling other people's stuff. Blending flavors. Reading books. Riding bike trails. Navigating train schedules. Trying new food. Drinking well. Meeting new people. Loving those that deserve it. Yoga.

Finding a meal where there was only food. Finding a cocktail where there were only bottles. Navigating train schedules and bike trails.

Also, hot chocolate. Seriously, I was sipping on a batch that I just made and had to come here to brag. It's a pretty big deal.

I'm bald. Yep. There it is. I am follically challenged. You want a man who uses all his testosterone on a useless head of hair, I'm not your guy. I use it for other things. But, you know, we'll get to that eventually.

I love to read. It may be the overarching passion of my life. But, my favorite books always seem to be connected to the time of my life I read them and not necessarily their quality.
Were I to list them here, we'd have nothing to talk about.
Tell you what, ask me what I'm reading and I'll tell you. Because there's always at least one answer to that. Weird that this seems like such a personal question....

Favorite movies and television tend to be be defined by the voices in them. I love the sound of conversation. Sooo, in no particular order (and only because OKCupid is insistent that you need 1,000 words from me) The Thin Man, Philadelphia Story, West Wing (1st 4 seasons but really, the rest is like pizza. Even when it's bad, its still pretty good), SportsNight, Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip, Gilmore Girls, Parenthood, Mad Men, Breaking Bad. I'm sure there's more.

As to food. My palate is as itchy to explore as the rest of me.

-Son.
-Phone.
-Bicycle.
-An unread book.
-An unfulfilled itinerary.
-A new mountain (literal and metaphorical) to climb.

-Where I'm going next.
-Why I seem to be able meet people so easily but have no idea how to approach women I'm interested in. I was in an incredibly long relationship and seemed to have let those skills atrophy.
-How little do I have to carry with me? (seriously, I spend a LOT of time on this one.)
-Why does my inbox fill faster than I can empty it?
-What does "open relationship" mean?

I haven't really settled in on typical since I've moved here. Lately I've been a little obsessed with yoga, so most Friday nights have been working until I'm done, dinner with co-workers and/or yoga and home to crash after a long week. Also, I seem to have find myself spending a lot of time with someone who like to dance as much as I do on a Friday night.

I rarely drive. It's not that I can't. I have a license and spent years commuting on the 405 in L.A.. But, recently I've realized that I much rather seeing this world from a bicycle or train.

Also, if we hit it off, at some point, we will find ourselves on a dancefloor and you will likely be embarrassed. I REALLY like to dance. But, as I type this, it occurs to me that its possible you won't be embarrassed. You might enjoy it. Is there nothing you can't do, Internet?

You've got a car. KIDDING!
Message me if I made you giggle. Is there anything sexier in this world than a beautiful woman giggling?

But, who are we kidding? If you're reading this, it's likely that I messaged you and you are deciding whether or not to respond. Things you should know if this is the case:

-When we meet, I will likely have different facial hair. I change it often and just don't take enough pics of myself to keep up with the profile image. Today, it's a full beard with a shaved head.

-As much as I love my son, I'm not looking for a new mother for him. The one he has does just fine. In fact, the chances of you meeting him any time soon even if we really hit it off are pretty slim. Especially since he lives in California and I spend most of my time two thousand miles away from him.

-I am currently spending a lot of time with an incredibly open-minded, adorable, smart and funny grrl (I had originally called her a "lady" here but apparently that is objectionable. Who knew?). But, we both have active social lives apart from each other and with each other. If you see yourself involved in one of those aspects, speak up!

-I wasn't kidding about the dancing thing. Seriously, it's embarrassing.
