Historically socially challenged but trying to change. I'm dreaming of meeting a woman who I can't avoid caring about. An odd mix of sexy, wisdom, and humility. I'm not easily impressed by "been there, done that" lists, there's more to a person than check marks in a book. I prefer meeting to chatting and have realistic expectations on the probability of success in online dating.

Trying to be more socially active and avoiding acting my age. I own a small business and I think I'm finally learning how to make it work. I try not to let anyone down and I usually can see things from all sides even when I don't agree with any of them.
I enjoy worshiping all of the known gods as the situation requires. I'm one of the few true polytheists and damn proud of it!
When I was young my dad became concerned that I was spending too much time building model airplanes so he bought me a mini-bike and ordered me to get out of the house. I started racing motocross when I was 15 and have been riding dirt bikes ever since. It's my primary form of exercise. I don't belong to a gym because I don't enjoy exercising unless it's fun.
When I was 18 I started hang gliding and have continued to fly for the past 33 years. I don't have a pilot's license so I can't take you flying in a "real" airplane.

I'm very good at building model airplanes and crashing my hang glider.
More importantly, I will give you a great massage, guaranteed.
I have a god-given talent for saying stupid things. It's a gift I cherish deeply.

Other than that I sport a fairly typical array of talents: raising the dead, inventing new emotions, blogging about my alien abductions, etc.

My antlers, I mean eyebrows.
I was born deaf in my left ear so sometimes I speak from one side of my mouth due to the hearing loss. I think most people notice this but no one will admit it to me!

Last night I listened to Genesis "Selling England by the Pound" and Vangelis "L'Apocalypse Des Animaux". I like normal music too, but I figure honesty is the best policy.

Movies, books, music, and food don't really define me (IMO) but it gives us something to talk about I guess. I spend more time building and playing around with things than reading. I'm constantly working on several projects at once, usually involving aircraft or computer simulations of something that interests me. I don't expect others to do these things but this is what I do for fun. I've traveled to other countries but usually for work. I really liked New Zealand and want to go back soon. I haven't seen much of Europe and compared to most people on OK Cupid I'm not "well traveled". Over the last 3 years I've taken a 1 week vacation to fly my hang glider in competition. It's not really a vacation, more like 7 days in combat combined with religious revelation. I usually spend the next month recovering from this adventure. I'd like to take more normal vacations but I'll need a partner for that.

A windy day with
the white clouds flying,
And the flung spray
and the blown spume,
and the sea-gulls
crying.

The inconceivable.

Eating out with the nerd herd and discussing any damn thing we feel like.

I've been to jail.

You're not in jail.
