If you're looking for tall, dark, and handsome, then what's that Meatloaf song? Oh right, two out of three ain't bad. Unless you're looking for dark skin and then I'm screwed. I seem to only have 2 skin tones - bed sheet pale and lobster red. Life should be a mix of levity and honesty, with a dash of chutzpah to get things rolling.

As of late, I'm trying to balance work and me time. Unfortunately work is winning, but I'd like to change that. I recently started cooking again and i just feel healthier all around. I tend to make it out to the bar twice a week, usually someplace quiet enough that I can actually hear my friends speak without getting chunks of their dinner in my ear. I recently discovered the Highlands in the village and it may be my new favorite NYC bar. But when I'm not out and about, I'm at home relaxing with a book or my tv addiction. I can't wait for my cable contract to expire to send it back into remission. Once a month I get together with some of my oldest friends and play Risk Legacy. I'll tell you all about it and once i explain the basics, I'm willing to bet you and 4 of your closest friends will start their own tradition.

- being myself, despite peer pressure.
- succinct expression.
- writing incessantly when i'm nervous or don't know you well enough to find comfortable silence enjoyable.

I've gone without almost everything at one point or another. I'm adaptive; I'll survive.

Honesty and genuine human interaction, especially in light of America's over-reliance on the internet and social media. Fundamental laws the build up the essence of a good society to escape moral relativism.

I could be anywhere - drinks with friends, pretending to be a glutton, watching a movie, staring out over the hudson.

I'm an avid anime promoter. I used to watch often though I've been slipping as of late. I could hide this from you, but it would come out eventually.

I work in the city and would love an excuse to traipse around until 2am. Cool little bistros you've always wanted to try? I'm down. Dance performance? Cool. I hunger for new experiences. And if you're as clueless as i am about what's out there, let's pick a direction and get lost together.
