My self-summary
As much as I would like to dazzle people with a succinct "coles-notes" version of what makes me tick, it aint happening in 8 sentences...but I will try...

I trust completely, but if someone lets me down there is no going back.
I think the world is a pretty eff-d up place but I find things around me that make me smile every day.
I worry way more about my son and loved ones than I do about myself.
I am fond of contradictions.
I have my sh*t together, seriously. I know what makes me tick and I am 100% comfortable with both how I affect my world and how it affects me.
I can come across as a bit of a billy goat so I need someone that isn't easily phased and will ask if I am cranky rather than just assume. :) Truth is I am usually in a good mood but my countenance often suggests otherwise.
I listen to the important stuff but might forget the fluff. (ie, I will forget what we are supposed to do 4 weekends from now but I will remember what your favourite tea is next time I am at the store and will remember just how green you like your bananas)
What I’m doing with my life
Well I was the General Manager of a large retail store but they went and closed the darn thing down. It was the number 2 ranked store out of 80 in all of Canada so it's a shame. On to the next adventure I guess! :)

My number one priority in my life is looking after my son. I have him half the week and he is such an amazing kid he deserves to be be my main focus. It is important for me that he becomes both an analytical thinker and a man with integrity. So far so good.
I’m really good at
Cooking all kinds of cuisines. Shake and Bake to Sushi, Burritos to Lasagne, BBQ to blackened Sole....it's all good to me.
Making people laugh.
Keeping my plants and fish alive
Problem solving.
Having a dry sense of humour
Making people think "oh yah...that's a good point".
Other "guy" stuff
The first things people usually notice about me
My birthmark...caus its really big and amazing.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Game of Thrones, Power of One, Still life with Woodpecker, The Name of the Rose or Foucaults Pendulum (early Umberto Eco), Crime and Punishment (the book), David Gemmell
Lots of music, just no "Top 40" or "New Country".
Some examples...Of Monsters and Men, Massive Attack, Portishead, Japandroids, Ella Fitzgerald, Brahms, Rage against the Machine, The Pixies, Florence and the Machine, Fishbone, Bruce Hornsby, Steve Earl, Stone Roses, Tool ,Pachelbel, Peter Gabriel, Portishead, Beasty Boys, R.E.M., Modest Mouse, Black Keyes, The Pogues...oh...one more thing, the album "Legend" by Bob Marley is amazing....Redemption Songs and No Woman No Cry should rock your world.
Food - Japanese, Thai, Mexican, Greek, French(psuedo...they use too much butter...lol), Italian and BBQ. Whatever I make I usually enjoy and my 8 year old will eat anything I prepare. :)
I like photography but don't get out enough to take new photos that often.
I enjoy working with wood a lot. Stripping antique furniture and refinishing it is a very satisfying.
I love Trader Joe's...man that place is awesome. I go to the states a couple times a year just to go there. If you have been there you understand. (if you have been there and don't understand don't message me yah weirdo....)
The six things I could never do without
My son-priority number one
.
.
.
Hockey
Time to myself
Beer-mmmm....beer...in moderation of course.
My BBQ-My canvas....my muse....you're welcome. ;)
Good food in general...I love to cook amazing food.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Not much, I do things instead. If I have anything to worry about I deal with it and move on....no second guessing and no regrets.

The stuff I do think about is what to do on Sundays with my son, where my next trip is going to be, my finances and making sure I am set up for the future.
On a typical Friday night I am
Probably being kinda boring. I need to expand my friend base since I moved around a lot.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
I tear up when I laugh...so does my little guy...it's pretty funny when we laugh together.
I’m looking for
  • Girls who like guys
  • Ages 27–50
  • Near me
  • For new friends, long-term dating, short-term dating, activity partners, casual sex
You should message me if
....you are active, healthy, positive, intelligent, self-confident, have a good job (or trust fund), are open-minded and want to know more about me. No smokers or drug users. I don't have a problem with occasional pot smoking but if it's part of your lifestyle we won't get along.
If you are looking for activity partners then I probably won't care how old.
Please have more to say than "How are you?". I am doing fabulous, thank you.
