Issuing supreme power to you...one moment.

My self-summary Propose an edit

Don't just stalk me, email me, I don't bite.. too hard, usually.

Hello and welcome to my tiny little corner of okcupid. Pull up a sofa and relax.

I am a fiercely independent, passionate, intelligent borderline loner who has a hard time marching to any beat in life but my own. Most say I'm very laid back, understanding and easy to get along with or talk to. I come off as mature and confident because I don't let things that I can't change bother me. Part of maturity is knowing the time and place to be immature. I'm perpetually curious, always in motion and love to explore. My main deal is balance in all things I do.

I've been known for my wicked sense of humor.

I have little imagine and really bad taste. I'm also horrible in bed. Yeah, bet that is the first time you ever heard that. Everyone is bad in bed, lets face it, we're just not the porn stars we make ourselves out to be. Or are we? Half of this blathering is so I could fill up my profile some more on that quest for the ever so holy 100% on my profile. Enjoy the read, I'm normally not this schitzo.

I love to read, make things with my hands, make music, ride my motorcycle, see live music, hang out with friends, work in my gardens, watch horror and sci-fi movies, take occasional unplanned road trips, online gaming and cooking.

I'm not into: sports on tv, exploring the latest in fashion, clubbing or the whole bar scene.

My greatest passion is making music. I'm currently the guitarist for a local Chicago metal band. We play at least 2x a month and practice 1-2x a week. This is my leisure as well as guy time, and is not negotiable.

You hopefully are independent as well, but still able to get close to a person. People probably describe you as just a penis and minivan away from being prime serial killer material. You should be at least somewhat energetic and positive as well as not being afraid to try new things on occasion. Vibrant, sparkling personalities and a positive outlook are always a plus, as well as someone who can bring out my more playful side.

Ideally, I want someone who not only is willing to share my time, but contribute to it, and allow me to do the same for them.

I don't really care about your color, religion or politics as long as you don't feel the need to preach them to me. I'm interested in knowing YOU, the person and the things that define you as one.

Some notes about me: I'm allergic to some cats. Its hit or miss and I can deal with it for the right person, but just be aware of that. I'm accepting of most things about a person so please be the same. I'm not a racist, and don't have much tolerance for it in others.

I'm not really interested much in going to 'the city', nor spending much time there. The two of us just aren't a match, so if you're a confirmed city dweller, I'm sorry, it just likely won't work out.

Now, why don't you just hit that Contact User button and talk to me.

See you soon

What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit

Outside of my day job, I own a web design business. Its one of my creative outlets, and lets me unleash my inner geek.

I've been on a radical and intense system of self improvement. Since the beginning of the year 2007, I've dropped 45 lbs as of August, and plan on dropping even more until I am to the weight I want to be at. This is my goal, and I'm succeeding at it.

I'm the lead guitarist for the metal band Sacrament of the Sick. Some find us playing somewhere and say Hi.

finding fun and inventive ways to stay cool this summer without using the dreaded energy sucking and wallet draining air conditioner.

Working slowly but surely on a book I've been writing the past year. Its been an interesting and fantastic learning experience. Maybe it might even get published some day.

I'm really good at Propose an edit

Oh, I'll have to save the good bits for later, how much do you expect me to spill on a page like this? A guy has to keep some mystery about him.

I love Sci-Fi, horror, cyberpunk and alternate history fiction novels and movies.

I'm a fount of useless knowledge. No really, I can quote out some of the most inane and obscure crap you've ever seen.

Gardening! I have and am building an awesome garden at my house. My back yard is fixing to be insane, and the view from the balcony here should be awesome!

I am the lord of the BBQ. 'nuff said.

Playing stringed instruments. Guitar, bass, violin (a little) and so on. Its just something that fits me.

I'm probably smarter and better read than you, but I don't let that go to my head unless you're an idiot. If anything, I can talk with people on almost any subject. Yes, I'm likely the worlds best bullshit artist as well, but if I'm that good at it, will you ever really know?

That was a complete dramatization of course.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

I've been told either my eyes, smile, hands or voice. Anything else, well, you'll have to tell me. Most people instantly feel safe and secure around me. Maybe that's a good thing, maybe not.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

I'll read anything put in front of me, I just tend to eat books like a supermodel goes through diet pills and prozac. Just finished Freakanomics, The biography of William Gaines (founder of Mad Magazine), The Satanic Witch, and Dimestore Magic last month. Right now, I'm Reading a fascinating book on number theory and another on Thai Massage.

I love action, comedy, underdog sci-fi and horror movies. Oh, and anything with Jackie Chan. He just rules.

I listen to all kinds of music but I tend toward metal in all its forms. Musical Favorites include: Witchery, Motorhead, Black Sabbath, God Dethroned, Obituary, Type O Negative, Count Basie, Glen Miller, Rockin Sydney, AC/DC, Johnny Cash, The Beach Boys, GBH, Suicidal Tendencies, The Doors, and The Stray Cats

Food is easy.. BBQ, sushi, italian, japanese, mexican, thai. I also make a mean kraut plate.

The six things I could never do without Propose an edit

Cognitive reasoning ability, great sex, touch, music, mental stimulation, winter.

Hey, I'm a demanding and choosy bastard, ok? But really, who couldn't do with all these things. Give me some credit here to not putting up some of the usual uninspired, non witty crap like air, food, water, etc.

I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit

Oh come on, I'm a guy. 99% of my thinking is comprised of Sex, fart jokes and what beer is best. I'm kidding of course. I don't think about what beer is best.

Actually, I wonder a lot of times on these awards I have on my page here. Lets see how they measure up to how I actually am:

More Adventurous: Yep, true. I'll try anything twice

More Aggressive: About most things? Kinda Average

More Cocky: Heh, maybe

Less Compassionate / Less Giving: Rather the opposite, but I have limits.

More Independent: Almost to a fault

More Kinky: Ok, who wants to strap me to a wall and beat me with live ferrets?

Less Optimistic: Nope, I'm positive we're all going to die

More Republican: Only in that I'm a lot less democrat. I'm a libertarian actually.

More Desiring of sex: Hey, you try having the sex drive of the starting line of a high school basketball team, ok?

Less Spiritual: Not really true. I'm just not extroverted about it

Less spontaneous: Yeah, true

Less Emotional: More like More Rational.

On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit

Typically cruising the streets on the bike, enjoying the air... Jamming with the band at some shitty bar... Drinkin' beer and makin' bonsai trees... delving into my own geeky world of books... or just watching TV. Really, could be anything. Depends on the mood, weather, company, how many crickets chirped while I was taking a leak, you name it.

The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit

I have something that I've never let hold me back, and thats being blind in one eye. Its a challenge at times, but strength of will can overcome anything.

I used to play chess in the park with nuns.

I randomly email people here and compliment them on some outstanding feature of theirs if they have one. Usually peoples eyes.

I have an odd fascination with old maps.

Women with glasses are irresistible.

You should message me if Propose an edit

This is usually the spot where we put something pseudo-witty like 'if you can' or some such.

not my style.

Instead, since so many feel free to put it on theirs somewhere, I'll just come out right now with the shallow end of what I'm looking for and not looking for.

No Married chicks No Cougars No Living with parents No Welfare cases No confirmed city dwellers No one who can't take a joke

If you don't like it, tough. Don't email me complaining about it either.

What I am looking for: Someone who can be themselves Funny and intelligent, Great Ass, Willing to put their fair share in, Willing to challenge me, Has enough passion to love something besides themselves or their kids solely. Now read that one again. If all you love and can love is yourself, and/or your kids, go away.

Look forward to hearing from you
