I hold doors open for everyone, everywhere. I believe that manners are a dying art, much like conversations that don't involve "LOL", "BFF" and "TTYL". Though, I'm completely supportive of "WTF?!". I have morals and the humility/constitution to stand by them even though it might not always be the easiest thing to do at the time. I consider myself an educated person even if the only time I spent at a college was playing pick-up hockey. I love humour in almost every form because honestly, life is long enough without laughing through most of it. :)
So, if you haven't run from this already, and I don't blame you if you have, here's some important keywords to me that maybe we share.

Music, cooking, writing, sports, simplicity, manners, respect, Subaru's (love my subie), activity, intelligence, good coffee, wit, growth, imagination and down to earth-ness (I will gladly explain), learning, bad gas-station coffee, philosophizing, wine... I could go on. 

I'm an absolute sucker for  people who create things. I would love to know how to play an instrument but I am terrible at all things music. I appreciate the physical and emotional beauty in art but couldn't draw a stick figure if I had to. I find people's passion for anything to be extremely intoxicating, even if it's something I don't really agree with... yet. My perfect date would be someone who approaches things with an open mind but has no qualms about sharing an opinion. We wouldn't have to like the same things, but we'd have to respect that joy that the other get out of them... and I would even go so far to say be willing to try them (to be sure, I don't expect to trick anyone into playing goal for ice hockey). I think that is not too much to ask, because even if the hopeless-romantic spark isn't there (and I am one, though it doesn't always show), worst case is that we come out being friends. I could always use more friends with open minds who can carry on a great conversation.

But of course, if you were willing to goaltend, how would you feel about Ireland for a honeymoon? :)

Things are pretty cool right now. Just kinda riding the wave of enjoyment and working towards something better.

Making people laugh... and telling stories (presuming the stories aren't boring to begin with). There's a severe shortage of decent story telling in this world.

People say my eyes are very blue.

If you happen to be listening, my idiotic wit seems to draw attention at times. It's very low-key and very dry but alot of fun.

Music is literally across the board (except country... of course). Right now I'm heavy on NPR and Aesop Rock. Which if you're familiar, should prove my statement. Zeppelin all day. Gorillaz, Tribe Called Quest, Pink Floyd... really anything that's interesting. Lyrically or musically.

I haven't watched network TV in forever, but I'm semi-addicted to netflix and TV series'.

I enjoy reading but time has not been permitting. Very sad.

I cook a TON, like any good Italian should. I bake my own bread, make my own sauce and my own pasta. Chili, soup, salad dressings and so forth. I enjoy meat, but eat more vegetables than anything. The Public Market is the greatest thing ever. If I can't conceive how to make something in theory with using basic ingredients, I generally won't rush to eat it. Though Taco Bell is awesome... just awesome.

Wikipedia - Resources cited, of course.
Family - Still have much to learn from them.
Self-Awareness
Sense of reason
Walking, which is oddly basic but being without for a month has made me appreciate it way more than I thought.
I'm sure there's more....

Everything. I tend to notice alot of things going on around me. I don't know if it's that I'm bored or just hyper-aware, but it gets me off onto a mess of tangents. I love it but it's such an annoyance at times. If I get on Wiki.... forget it. I have 12 pages open before I'm done with the first article.

Usually head out to the bar I hang out at. Tiny joint in the city. We play euchre, watch Jeopardy and shoot the shit. Like a little family almost. Great place.

I killed a guy once...

Ok, I didn't do that. My deep dark secrets are not that ridiculous and who can afford the energy to keep track of all their wheeling and dealings? I'm a pretty open person though if someone wants to ask.

I'm looking for someone who can carry a conversation and has a good sense of humor. Don't need to like any of the same things but at least be willing to not hate them. Someone who is proud of who they are mentally, physically and emotionally. Intelligence and sense of humor are symptoms of each other and are required... or else you will hate me. You realize life isn't about how much you earn or how big one thing is over another. Chill out and enjoy it. :)
