After a whole lotta transitions in my life recently, I'm looking to catch my breath and enjoy the moment for bit. I'd like to find someone who wants to enjoy the moment with me and maybe, just maybe, become my partner in crime. I'm a young man-of-the community and karaoke champ-turned-employment discrimination lawyer. I'm ambitious, goal-oriented, and like dogs, whiskey, and bakeries. I'd rather have a few close friends than a gazillion "friends" I've only met for 30 seconds. I'm a quality over quantity kinda guy. Can you handle it?

I am a lawyer, community activist, and teacher, who serves as President of a neighborhood park association. When I'm not grading students' papers, I like to hug it out!

Remembering. I seem to have a knack for remembering all kinds of inane stories from 7th grade of who said what to whom and all the gossip. I'm a good listener, writer, and not-such-a-bad cook. I'm also a damn good MC and dabble as a singer/songwriter.

This has changed over time: It used to be my laugh ... then it was my hands (I have two of them!) ... then my best friend told me that I "sit down uniquely" (not sure what that means). So, the jury is out. We'll have to meet, and you'll have to tell me the first things you notice! Then, I'll come back and post! Deal?

BOOKS: To Kill A Mocking Bird, Election by Tom Perrotta, The Plague.

MOVIES: The Empire Strikes Back, Shawshank Redemption, Welcome to the Dollhouse, Hedwig and the Angry Inch.

MUSIC: How about this? The 10 albums I purchased most recently were: (1) Beck "Guero"; (2) Jay-Z "American Gangster";
(3) P!nk "Funhouse"; (4) Band of Horses "Infinite Arms"; (5) Erykah Badu "New Amerykah Part One"; (6) Erykah Badu "Baduism"; (7) R.E.M. "Murmur"; (8) Phoenix "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix"; (9) Weezer "The Red Album"; and (10) Joni Mitchell "Blue."

FOOD: Cuban, Indian, Thai, Italian ... I'm a good eater :)

TV: Parks & Recreation; The Good Wife; and GLEE, as well as classics like Dallas; The Mary Tyler Moore Show; Cheers; the Cosby Show; and my all-time favorite: Roseanne!

In no particular order: (1) Roseanne (my favorite TV show); (2) my committee of 3 bestest friends; (3) good pizza; (4) love; (5) passion (about something); and (6) clean underwear (gotta draw a line somewhere!).

How I'm going to take over the world. And brainstorming song lyrics.

There ain't nothing typical about my Friday nights. Tomorrow night (which happens to be a Friday) I'm going to a bar association committee meeting (over drinks and pizza, but still). Last Friday night I went to a parks association meeting (over drinks, dinner, and dessert). I guess there's a theme ...

I'm not scared to take on the man, and yet loud noises startle me and make me jump 6 feet outta my chair. Wtf?

You're interested in something with long-term potential. I'm
looking for a guy who's patient, kind, with a good head on his
shoulders. A good communicator, who doesn't hate "the game" yet still chooses to play it. Someone with goals and ambitions or at least some semblance of a plan. Cute helps too. Nice teeth and
hands go a long way. Nice legs turn me on. So does the saxophone, incidentally.
