I like to be outside, more than in.

I like to be closer to the ocean, than further away from it.

I love a back and forth discourse, and probably won't hesitate to say what I think on any topic... I will try to not be a complete jerk about it though.

Married my girlfriend this year, still working on the long distance thing; she is totally cool with me being available (and in point of fact wrote this addendum to my profile since people kept going ' . . wife?' in conversations. Hi! :) -T)

I am down for, playing, and camping, and skiing, and hiking . . I wasn't kidding about the fact that I like to be outside :)

I'm an electrician. It's not exactly exciting work, but it pays the bills.

Working at a job I love in a climate I'm very, very fond of.

Lifting, and carrying things.
Dry sarcastic humour.
Finding my way home.
Giving directions to lost tourists.
Trivia about vancouver, and canada, and... well anything else almost.

I also seem to be able to teach fairly well...

I honestly am not sure. maybe the unkempt hair? the loudish voice? a grin? the geeky t-shirts?

I think I would need to see myself from the outside to know, look at the pictures and tell me yourself.

(a) How about authours? Douglas Adams, Brian Greene, Richard Feynman, Terry Pratchett, I love the economist, and the globe and mail. Most of what I read lately has been either non-fiction, or scifi/fantasy, not that I am opposed to anything else, I just havent picked any of it up.

(b) Braveheart, Saving Pvt Ryan, Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, V for Vendetta, Sin City, Blackhawk Down, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Snatch, Lucky Number Sleven, Looper,

(c) my tv choices are streets ahead.

(d) I'm pretty open about my music, the whole electronica/dance music thing has kind of passed me by though....

I find I like lyrics in a song over melody, and I'm willing to listen to all most any kind of melody to hear good lyrics.

that said, I mostly listen to rock, and punk, and music that makes me want to start class war.

(e) Food? yes please! along with a nice pint, or a some nice whisky :)

how stuff works, or why we do things a certain way, or how to get where I'm going, or what the weather will be like later today, or what I'm going to do after work, or how sillica dust actually damages your lung tissue, or trying to remember how to prove that root(2) is actually an irrational number.

you want.

actually, if you got this far at all, it's only a little more effort really.

but those messages that I send after reading this bit of someones profile tend to go along the lines of "hi... uh I want to know more about you..."

I find it hard to start a conversation in email. so if you prefer, you can msn me: gooutside@hotmail.com or on google talk at gooutside@gmail.com
