Hey single people! Everybody would (hopefully) agree that I'm intelligent, independent, and motivated. I am very passionate about many things in life, including my family, music, books, jujitsu, and, of course, geeky pursuits. I value personal integrity, passion for life, stimulating conversation, and good friendship. My close friends are very trustworthy, understanding, and patient. They have to deal with ME, after all! :) While I have strong opinions, I respect that my way is not everybody's way. I like people having their own views - life would be boring if we all agreed all the time!

On the romantic front, I am very non-jealous/non-possessive. I get along best with independent types. Independent meaning, able to function as individuals as well as a couple. I'm not a joined-at-the-hip type - best to know this type of thing up front, right?

I'm a shaman. That doesn't mean I sit in a jungle with some feathers up the butt. It's just what I am. If you're interested in that kind of thing, or spirituality in general, look me up. It's great to talk about and learn about.

I have many hobbies and interests. Boredom is not in my vocabulary, but I don't keep myself busy just to be busy. There's plenty of stuff to do in life. I have typical geek interests, like: anime, fantasy/sci-fi books, computer stuff, but also non-geek ones such as: photography, spirituality, jujitsu, blading, pool, and others. I don't think anybody will be bored around me because I have such a variety of interests and passions to talk about.

I feel I am easy to talk to, and many people come to me for advice. That is fair, because I have gone to many for advice. Thus, balance is maintained. (Now, who's da zen mastah?!)

Living one day at a time - or, preferably, living ten days at a time. Getting into trouble, getting friends out of trouble, giving trouble to trouble. OK, so I am exaggerating a bit.

Understanding people. Analytical things like science, computers, math, problem-solving. Reading, writing. Massage & Restoration Therapy. Helping people out, playing with kids. (You can play with toys as an adult if you're around kids, right? :) )

I'm tall and big. I am quiet (in general) until I warm up to people. You could take me home to your parents because I'm polite, and they'll want to keep me. I have a dry sense of humor.

Books: George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire, Ender's game, Winds of the Forelands, Lord of the Rings, Sun Sword. About 5 bazillion other books.

Movies: Lord of the Rings, Pulp Fiction, Star Wars, Fight Club, Kill Bill, Monty Python, and a lot more..

Music: I love Classical, Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, or really anything that's good. :)

1) Family, 2) Friends, 3) Books, 4) Internet, 5) The outdoors, 6) Photography. No wait, Sex. Do I have to pick? This question is just not fair.
