Well... I want to start off by saying that I may not be the best looking thing on this site, but I rock. You should totally message me. I love talking to new people. :)

I am a father of 2 wonderfully, deranged boys, who are 3 and 7 years of age. The 3 year old lives with me the majority of the time. I get the 7 year old every other weekend.

I am definitely a romantic at heart, and I am terribly compassionate and fiercely loyal to my friends and loved ones.

I have a severe passion for media (Music, Movies, and other stuff). I love to write, but I am a poor writer. I am a decent musician. Nothing extraordinary, but I have a good sense of drama and can translate themes into my bass playing and other instruments rather well. I have been playing around with electronic stuff for fun, but since my specialty is with improvisation, I have had a difficult time producing anything of substance. Recently I have changed my approach to music, and am now approaching it as a painter would a canvas. This seems to work for programming music really well.

I am also complete geek as well. I occasionally play tabletop RPGs with a few friends of mine. I have a sick fascination with bad horror movies. With all of the useless information in my head I am amazed that I have room for things with any real social value.

While I take my opinions (political, religious, social, and taste in general) very seriously, I am open minded and willing to listen to other peoples point of views. I love to discuss subjects that are important to the person I am conversing with, and gain new insites into my own tastes.

Also, I have remarkable insight into the human condition, and I seem to be the person my friends come to for advice and music suggestions.

I am working at a retail office supply store as a department manager. I plan to go back to school soon and get a degree in something that interests me. I haven't really figured out what, but I am leaning towards majoring in History and minoring in Archeology. Like that is useful, but it is something that interests me.

Other than that, I spend quite a bit of time with my boys. I love my little heathens.

Music, Conversation, and World Domination!!!

Is probably something about my physical appearance. Not that I am Quasimodo, but isn't physical appearance the first thing everyone notices about a person.

OK here are the lists....

30 Rock
Deadwood

FOOD
I love to cook anything and everything. I especially love Italian. I don't really have a chance to cook much anymore. I really miss it.

I have been apprehensive about answering this question. I can do without a lot of things in my life and I have on occasion. I guess I would have to answer basic human needs (ie.. Eating.. Sleeping.. etc.), My children, Music and Art, and having new experiences.

Random philosophical nonsense, finances, and music.

Well maybe not a lot of the time, but every time I look at my profile, I wonder why this site has seen fit to grant me the less desiring of sex award. That slays me.

Honestly, I am usually at home with my boys. I do occasionally get abducted and forced to spend time with my friends though.

I have had a lot of life experience, and I am really ready to settle down.

Not if... You just should!!!

I really enjoy talking to new people, and my reasons for being on this site are to meet new people (Not just romantically).

'Nuff said
