I'm laid back, open, honest, and straight forward. I am a hopeless dreamer and romantic and keep waiting the world to go like it does in books and movies. Don't get me wrong- I am fairly realistic as well. I'm just not giving up hope.

I am fairly active and spend most of my time outside of work practicing shaolin kung fu. I also just got back into rock climbing after being out of it for a year (I prefer bouldering to top-roping for all those wondering). I'm also up for hiking, swimming, walking slacklines, racing down the street, or climbing trees.

I also spend a fair amount of time watching movies and hanging out and reading books at coffee shops. I love playing games (Scrabble, Go, Chess, cards, Carcasonne, Agricola...)

After realizing I spend all my money eating out, I decided to teach myself to cook and promptly bought a library of vegan cookbooks. I really enjoy cooking, but tend to be a bit lazy about it unless I have someone to cook for.

I don't think I am ever going be that old guy in a rocking chair, whittling away at a stick. Actually, I might do that- but what i mean is I am not going to live in a rut. I love to learn and experience new things. I am pretty willing to try most anything once or twice.

As far as relationships, the only thing that I ask is honesty and that you are straight forward about your intentions. I am looking to find someone to raise hell and adventure around the world with. Someone who can inspire me, someone who can laugh and love.

I am constantly trying to improve myself inside and out. Not saying I am perfect, but I learn from past mistakes.

Lately, I have just been trying to stick some money aside for a trip to Southeast Asia with one of my friends next spring. I love to travel and I want very much to see every part of this planet before I am gone or it is.

Eventually, I would like to open a kung fu school somewhere.. or a vegan restaurant. maybe just move into the mountains..

Walking on my hands. Indian leg wrestling. Um, probably good at lot of other things too.

I just asked my friend Jasmine "Quick! What is the first thing you notice about me?" and she said it was that I cut my hair.

After she realized what I meant, she said 'that infectious smile and that twinkle in your eye'. I like that one better.

Books- I have a library's worth of favorite books.. I read a lot written by Edward Abbey, Harlan Ellison, and Neil Gaiman to name some..

Movies- The Goonies, The Lost Boys, Ghostbusters, Nightmare Before Christmas, Kung Fu Hustle, Aliens.... a few TV miniseries- Twin Peaks, Supernatural, Pushing Daisies, Battlestar Galactica, Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks

Music- The Devil Makes Three, Ramones, The Coup, Hank Williams III, Joan Jett, AC/DC, Cyndi Lauper, The Pogues, Screaming Trees, Descendents, Tegan and Sara, Gogol Bordello..

Food- Vegan. I love Thai, Indian, Ethiopian, Middle Eastern..

Food and where I am going to get it at.

Lately, rock climbing.

Daydreaming about fighting off gangs of bandits with my kung fu. (I have never actually been in a fight and would not without very good cause- just in case you are getting the impression that I a deranged violent brawler. I would be defending myself, my friends, or any that needed it. Not starting a drunken fight down at a bar.)

Ghosts

I think about a lot of things. I don't think I really spend a lot of time thinking on any one thing.

I was dared to create myself this profile when i was talking to a friend about being single. And not just any old dare the mother of all of them... yeah, it was a double dog dare. Obviously, i had to do it or get a bunch of chicken noises thrown at me.

you are interested. or if you just want to say hi.
