One of my friends described me as the kind of man that when my feet hit the floor in the morning the Devil says... "Shit - he's up!" However - I'm pretty easy going with a fiesty side as well! A good sense of humor and emotionally mature. I have to say that the computer says I'm less romantic than others - Pffhhllltt! It doesn't know squat. Love dogs and art and music and all the regular things that we tend to enjoy in life. I like motorsports and am pretty athletic and in relatively good shape. I have been a career guy and never married yet had a number of good, long term relationships (still friends with a few even). Point is - no kids (but I love kids, especially my little neice and nephew) nor serious baggage. Looking to meet and have fun and get serious (if warranted - lol). Play tennis and ski and like most sports. Music is key! (no pun intended) as I play guitar and record a bit. Am fairly well traveled - Jamaica, Caymen islands, Bahamas, Hawaii, Australia (looove Sydney), Mexico, Canada and every state except Alaska. Also just some minor info for reference - I have raced motorcycles at 170 MPH, boxed (in college) in front of 4500 people (I lost by decision - Damn it! lol), given a speech at the world digital video conference, won a freestyle skiing contest, read about 4000 books (OK maybe that's a fib but a lot of books!) and recently actually helped a little old lady across the street! (no joke!) I've also failed miserably at quite a few things! But I keep trying!

Recently (OK last summer but it seems like yesterday) moved back to Santa Monica after a couple of years back in the Midwest taking care of some family matters. Just glad to be living by the beach and getting back to business (hi-tech venture). Oh - and just finished my first novel! (Yeah! - on to editor) I'm also looking to find someone who is secure in their own skin and can handle someone imperfect!

Hmmm... I am somewhat competent with Photography, Skiing, affectionate gestures (kissing out of nowhere and flowers for no reason) and I like to paint. Playing guitar and writing songs... as well as driving (like road trips to Tahoe at warp speed if everyone in the car is OK with it etc.) which I enjoy as I used to race. Not sure what all I should reveal here!

I listen. Quick with a smile. I compliment people when they do good. Or so they say.....

books - The Fray, The Fountainhead, anything by Heinlein. Movies - Slingblade, Perfume, Finding Bobby Fisher, Bladerunner, The professional. Music - Johnny Lang, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Eric Clapton, Dead Sara, Maylene and the sons of disaster (didn't think I knew those last two did ya?) etc...Blues mainly but pretty eclectic tastes as I play guitar so am open to new stuff. Ninieties were good too - STP, Nirvana etc. Classic rock and motown (for dancing nice and slow:)

A guitar, romance and a woman's touch, Pizza, family, fast cars and ummmm... oh! and animals. (especially elephants for some reason)

Technology (part of my job) and art and books I've read and what the author was really trying to say... A bit of the regular things - Why are we here? What's that button on my dash do? Will I ever meet the one? Spirituality a bit and anything else that reminds me that these thoughts help shape my life.

No such thing as a typical Friday night! Could be shooting pool and a beer or reading quietly at home. Playing guitar and recording a new song or out with someone special. Usually something creative.

Uhhh... I am ticklish?

You are searching for someone to actually meet, will actually write me back when I message you (duh) or just want someone to laugh a bit with (we'll find something to goof on!) and maybe actually connect. Oh... and if you think romance is still important.... and you like affection!
