I'm honest, loyal to a fault, and hoping to find someone that compliments me and my life. I would love to find a wonderful friend and then fall head over heels. I would like someone who stays fit and has a healthy life style, loves to laugh, and likes to enjoy life. Someone who knows when to let the little stuff go and not stress over the little things that don't matter. Life is much too short to waste precious moments arguing about insignificant issues that in the end aren't very important. I do tend to have a bit of a sarcastic streak, so a good sense of humor is required. You can't take me too seriously when it comes to playful banter.

I pretty much enjoy anything outdoors. I love being near the water or at the beach, but I am just as happy camping up in the mountains under tall trees and the stars (which I do whenever I get a chance).

I'm not a big TV watcher, though I admit to being hooked lately on a couple of shows. I love movies either at home or at a theater. I like action movies, and oddly enough, chick flicks, but don't care much for gore. I love mysteries with a twist, or that you can't figure out until the end (without being contrived).

My music tastes run from heavy metal, alternative, and pop or rap while working out, to smooth jazz or 70's rock at home or at work.

I tend to stay relatively fit and eat healthier than most, though I'd hardly call myself a fanatic. I do hit the gym most days or do something that gets me moving. I drink socially but do not find excessive drinking fun at any time. I try to shy away from junk food, though I have a weak spot for some in moderation (red wine, chocolate and cheese to name a few). I'm a firm believer in moderation, and that enjoying life is as important as leading a healthy life (physically, emotionally and spiritually).

I'm definitely a dog lover. My present dog is a two year old pug. Other than my kids (who are grown and without a doubt my best friends), he is my confidant. If you can figure out how to talk to him you will find out all my most personal thoughts and feelings.

My favorite 'feel good' memories seem to usually involve rain or cool cloudy weather, and me of course being somewhere warm and dry. Rainy and cool weather makes me want to curl up on the couch with a good book and a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine).

My friends tell me I'm kind, friendly, and easy going. I do try to be friendly to everyone, even perfect strangers. You never know which one will be your next friend. I read a saying once that stuck in my head. "No such thing as strangers, just friends I haven't met".

I'm not big into sports. I enjoy a baseball or football game, but don't plan my week around games or playoffs. I'm always open to new ideas and experiences and enjoy going to a sports bar for a drink and a game, but if you're looking for a guy that's passionate about sports, I'm probably not your guy.

I'm pretty happy with my life, what I do for a living, where I live, and the quality of my life, though I'd love to find someone to share it with. I tend to be happiest when making that special someone in my life happy.

The best way to describe what I'm doing is searching for a direction, or maybe deciding if the direction I've chosen is the right one (living in San Diego and just enjoying life). I am satisfied with my career (being better at what I do is always a goal, but I'm happy with the career path I've chosen). I've raised my kids and sent them on their way (or maybe they sent me on my way...). I don't feel any pressure to accomplish anything specific, but do know Ive always been happiest when sharing life with someone I care for.

Making people feel welcome, especially those who are new or don't look comfortable in some given situation (like a party of people they don't know). I am also excellent at puzzles, fixing things, and defusing volatile situations.

How tall I am and that I'm almost always smiling.

My kids, the gym, my Droid, a good book, coffee, red wine.

How my kids are doing, including the one of the pug variety that lives with me (Gizmo).

I'll usually either be home with my pug Gizmo watching a movie or at a friends house.

Haha, you can't be serious.... ;)

You feel the slightest inclination to say hello and even come close to meeting what I'm looking for. I don't view my list of 'wants and desires' to be hard and fast because I'm a strong believer in chemistry, and that when you least expect it, someone will take your breath away...
