So basically I'm doing this to see who's out there. I've lived here for a couple of years now...transplant from Mississippi. This probably sounds obvious and really cliche - but its true so... I want to find someone that I have alot in common with and genuinely enjoy being around whether its out on a date or sitting on the couch watching tv. I want the girl I'm dating to be my best friend. There's no sense in trying to force something just to be in a relationship - I've found that out the hard way.

I live in a loft downtown and love city living but also like to take trips to get away from it every now and then, so I want someone that enjoys that as well. I love good wine and I get lots of it through my job right now so I want someone who I can share it with :-) I would also love to find someone that will go eat sushi and other random good foods with me - not a requirement obviously, but it would be awesome. Also - I LOVE to cook.... Definitely a foodie.

I lived in Italy during architecture school and got to travel all over Europe. I love to travel and can't wait to go back one day.

That's just a few things off the top of my head... feel free to ask me anything, I'm pretty much an open book.

I actually have a degree in architecture and worked in a firm for a few years, but right now I'm a wine specialist for a local distributor. It's got alot of perks but I'd like to get back into architecture eventually. I also bartend at a little place downtown once or twice a week.

My job, bein goofy, and making people smile... and trivia. I love trivia :-)

My eyes and/or my smile I guess. But usually they notice my dog if she's with me - she's much cuter than I am...lol :-)

Books - The Harry Potter series...yes I'm a dork but I love them. Anything by Dan Brown. And I gotta say - alot of older stuff/classics...hated having to read them in HS but love them now... The Count of Monte Cristo, To Kill a Mockingbird, Sherlock Holmes, etc.

Movies - Too many to name! I own a TON, but if I had to list a few... The Goonies, A Beautiful Mind, Bottle Shock, Shawshank Redemption, Once Upon a Time In America, Indiana Jones, Labyrinth, The Princess Bride, and all the craptastic 80's movies. I could go on and on...

TV - The Big Bang Theory, Lost, Heroes, House, Seinfeld, Scrubs, Quantum Leap, Family Guy, South Park. And I'm still a big kid at heart so... DuckTales, Rescue Rangers, and pretty much all of the old Disney cartoons lol.

Music - pretty much anything, literally. It's ridiculous how big of a range my music collection has. Big fan of The Police and alot of 80's music and classic rock. I love soundtracks and composed movie music too.

Food - Like I said before - I'm a huge foodie...I love all kinds. Especially Chinese and sushi. But also Mexican, Italian, Thai, Americana... There's not much I'll turn down. Most recent additions to my repertoire would be Nicaruagan an Afghan, both of which were actually really good.

Family, Friends, my pup, music, my laptop, and I'll probably need food at some point...

The future...as does everyone I'm sure. I love my family and I really look forward to having one of my own one day - but until then I think about my job, traveling, enjoying life, etc. etc.

Depends on the mood and schedule. Alot of times after a long week I like to take it easy on Friday night and stay in...Cook dinner, watch a movie, etc. I can always go out on Saturdays lol.

I'm a big dork when it comes to movies - I own over 500 dvds... its kind of ridiculous.

You think we'd get along and have things in common.
