I am a tall, athletic, goofy, smart, smartassed, creative and fairly well adjusted guy. I have a good job that I love, working for a certain airplane company. My degree is in Graphic Design and I consider myself an artist, however, I don't do that for work. I'm a big guy, tall and broad-shouldered. I stay very active, and always looking for ways to do more. In January I got rid of my car and got a bike. It's a change that has been great on so many levels. I am always looking for cycling partners.

Ultimately, I am looking to settle down with a kickass guy. People who are creative, outdoorsy and funny, to the front of the line! Activity partners and new friends are always welcome. Though, if you smoke, litter, take yourself (or others) too seriously, don't know the difference between you're and your, or are oblivious to the happenings of the world, we probably won't get along.

Some Things I Like: brains, non-smokers, good kissers, rugby,martial arts, liberals, patience, humour, cycling, rock hunting, nature, caves, Wikipedia, fine art, tattoos, sexy accents, graphic design, languages, culture, ethnic food, photography, kayaking, swimming/anything in the water, travel, airplanes, movies... and more. Just ask.

FUN NEWS: I have begun training and planning for a month-long, 10 country bicycling trip across Europe in May. I may be popping up in cities across Europe on here; just looking around. Confirmed on the itinerary are Copenhagen, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest, Amsterdam, Bruges, Brussels, and Paris.

My job keeps me busy, but not too busy. When I am not working I am probably on my bike or in a movie theatre. I see a lot of movies.

I love art and dabble in painting and photography. I have been working on some new project ideas; I am looking forward to all the rainy days coming up as inspiration for staying in and working on art.

It seems tacky to list of specific things I am good at, eh? I'll be a sport and give it a whack.

I am pretty good at diffusing tense situations with humour, figuring out solutions to technical problems, cracking a sarcastic joke at marginally inappropriate times, patterns, martial arts, being romantic, caring about others more than myself... what else? Oh, I give pretty awesome massages.

That I am tall, or freckly, or that I have a particularly large tattoo on my right leg.

Book: The Bell Jar, His Dark Materials trilogy, Harry Potter, The Hatchet, The Medici Seal, The Lord of the Rings, Earthcore, The Book of Lost Things, and many more.

Movie: I see so many, it's hard to pick. Some recent-ish movies I liked are Slumdog Millionaire, District 9, Star Trek, Up, Inglourious Basterds, Julie & Julia, and The Hangover.

Music: Anything that is good, regardless of who made it. Yes, even country :) I am not a fan of music snobbery.

Food: Ethnic food! Ethiopian, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, etc.

Someone pointed that people are not "things," so I took out my family and my friends - I guess that is a given anyway. So the new list, in no specific order, is as follows:

My bicycle
A great book
My camera
A good ink pen
My notebook
Music

My place in the world, and how I can be a better fit. I believe that everything we do leaves a mark on the Earth, be it physically or spiritually.

I don't drive because I don't need to, I recycle because it's right. Quality over quantity (I think people are too addicted to WalMart [read: cheap plastic crap]).

I know, I know... kinda heavy for a dating site.

SO glad it is Friday night.

I'm from Wyoming, I can crochet, and I am pierced somewhere fun. :)

Anything piques your interest. We can only write so much in here; there is a lot more to each of us than how we summarize ourselves into little boxes.

Even if you just want to be friends, or we have something in common, say hey. My current number one match is a straight guy in Bellevue, so I don't pay much attention to the percentages listed.
