I'm an easy going guy who believes everyone has a right to their own beliefs, and it's more important to accept that than try to bring them around to your personal views. I've yet to figure out if I'm a geeky nerd or a nerdy geek. To give this credence, I'm currently working through all the movies referenced in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Trying to figure out the easiest way to arrange this probably more difficult than actually answering it. I guess I could just make a list with those annoying brackets (which really throws off my typing).
Interests: karaoke, shooting pool, kayaking, reading, computers, role playing games, random studies, motorcycles

Sometimes I feel I'm stuck in the middle-age rut. I work a lot, and my job is a bit random since I'm a field tech, so predictability is rare. In the spare time I can find, I like to hang out with friends or help out with any of several groups I belong to. I don't get to do as much as I once did, but whenever possible, I squeeze some volunteer work in. I just got my motorcycle license this year and still have half a year of novice to go. I wouldn't mind finding someone interested in riding with.

I assume this list is based on what I believe I'm good at. Going on that basic precept... I think I'm better than average at singing, at least when they give the words (aka: karaoke). I can shoot pool better than many, but I'm far from a pool shark. Listening when others have anything they want to talk about. If it's humorous, all the better, if it's serious then it's obviously something which needs let out.

I'm fairly tall (6'0"), medium build and gaining (220 lbs), balding orange hair (my driver's license says red... I disagree), I nearly always wear dark clothes (light colors show when I'm climbing around at work too easily), pretty much always pull-overs / golf shirts and semi-dress slacks. My beard and hair are usually close cut (beard at 1/4" and hair at 1/2").

I'm not sure where to even start with books and music? I read voraciously, and when I can't read (on the road, which is a lot), I go through audio books. Some favorite authors: Steven King, Dean Koontz, Anne McCaffrey, Terry Brooks, Piers Anthony, Clive Cussler, Bernard Cornwell, almost anything historical or historical fiction. A lot of biographies are a bit dry, but some are bearable. I'll also get lost in most fantasy or science fiction books.

Hmmmm. Movies might be a bit more difficult to narrow down. Serenity / Firefly, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sweeny Todd, Boondock Saints, LOTR, Harry Potter, too many to figure out. Right now, I'm working my way through the movies mentioned in RHPS. I have not found Dr. X, Rope or Riff Raff yet.

Music? Mostly country and Celtic. Celtic because ... it's Celtic (weakness for bagpipes). Country is largely because it's more in my range to sing. Being naturally a baritone, there aren't a lot of metal or rock songs in my range, and I don't consider 99% of rap to be music. I'd say my favorite artists right now are Trace Adkins, Toby Keith, Josh Turner, Brad Paisley, Sugarland, Josh Gracin and oh so many more. Basically anything I can sing along with (just about anything).

Food isn't a big priority for me. The only 3 things I claim to cook are Spaghetti, chili, and bacon explosion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1IiUAtoNBk). Normally, cooking dinner consists of: preheat the oven to 450, put the pizza in and pull it out 8 minutes later. My alternatives are cereal, soup or ravioli out of the can or bagels with tons of cream cheese.

#6 = Music... I need to have music around.

#5 = Books... you stop learning when you die... then you discover what many people spend their entire lives trying to learn.

#4 = Human contact... I haven't learned how to do so many important things that others have.

#3 = More Learning

#2 = Cheese... I LOVE cheese. I often sit down with a block of extra sharp cheddar and a knife, and that's dinner.

#1 = Mountain Dew... I swear they could process me like in Dune and get a few bottles of Mountain Dew.

Squirrel!!

I don't have a standard routine. I used to say "go to karaoke", but haven't even been going out to sing that much lately. Many Fridays, I'll go to my friends' house and sit around the campfire drinking beer and talking.

I'm not big on secrets. If you want to know much of anything, ask and I'll probably fill you in on much more than you originally wanted to know.

...you live in / around Columbus, you don't mind complete honesty and I haven't put you to sleep yet.
