In the words of the venerable Adam Savage, "I reject your reality and substitute my own." Doing this routinely has actually made me pretty down-to-earth.

I'm very social, but I also have an active inner world of ideas, principles, and possibilities. My personality is complex, and I can be very passionate when something arouses my interests.

Interests
-Listening to music, reading, writing
-Wine, cooking, eating out (at restaurants...)
-Hiking/backpacking/camping, biking, boating, gym
-Economics, the environment, politics (I am very independent)

ENTJ if that matters to you (and even if it doesn't!).

Finishing up my undergraduate, working part time, and applying for full-time management jobs. In my free time, I am trying to become the second most interesting man in the world.

I have long term entrepreneurial goals that involve hospitality, agriculture, and education; that part of my career won't commence for another 7-12 years, though.

-Making chocolate-Kahlua cheesecakes
-Camping (I can pitch a tent like nobody's business)
-Carrying more than 10 stemmed glasses in one hand
-Sneezing extraordinarily loudly (seriously)
-Autodidacticism as a form of procrastination.

Oh, probably the fact that I am not a squirrel.

Books
Mostly non-fiction that pertains to human health, society, agriculture, and the environment. Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan is a classic example, but my all-time favorite is Folks, This Ain't Normal by Joel Salatin.

Currently reading: We Took to the Woods by Louise Dickinson Rich and Gut and Psychology Syndrome by Dr. Natasha Campbell-Mcbride, MD.

Movies and Shows
I enjoy films that address the darker, more tumultuous aspects of society and the human psyche. Inception, The Black Swan, Pan's Labyrinth, and Silence of the Lambs spring to mind.

I LOVE Game of Thrones.

Music
Everything from Aine Minogue (celtic harp) to Metallica (metal... duh). I really like Poets of the Fall, Florence + The Machine, Tool/A Perfect Circle, and Stone Sour (to name but a few).

I also enjoy classical music. My favorite piece is either the first movement of Alexander Glazunov's Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major or Kiri Te Kanawa's 1975 recording of Avec la garde montante from Carmen.

Current Favorite Song(s): Toxicity by System of a Down

Food
I'm an adventurous eater and love trying new things at restaurants and in the kitchen. I also keep a pretty healthy diet that consists of a lot of fresh, local (when possible) food. Sometimes I slaughter my own chickens, which I find yields the tastiest meat (I vacillated over whether I should share that, and ultimately decided that anyone who is too put off by that to message me is too much of a pansy to date me).

-Family and Friends
-Physical activity
-Fresh, local food
-Raw milk (get the government out of my mouth!)
-Full use of my arms and legs
-Natural light

-Fiscal, agricultural, and environmental policy
-The relationships between people and their food
-The impacts that technology has conferred upon society
-Objectively terrible puns, like: Kim Jong-un has no Seoul.

C'mon guys, didn't you get the memo? Tuesday is the new Friday.

Let's play two truths and a lie:
-I was once unjustly arrested by the coast guard
-I was born in the bed of a pickup and was raised on a farm
-I have a recurring dream in which I am able to fellate myself

I don't like to include negative statement on my profile, but I also have enough dating experience to know what just doesn't work for me in a relationship. With that said....

You are probably barking up the wrong tree if you:
-Are a vegetarian, vegan, or are strictly kosher/halal.
-Identify strongly as a liberal (exception for classical liberalism).
-Haven't come to terms with your sexuality.

Otherwise, feel free to say hi! I'm pretty friendly, and I don't bite very hard unless you ask me to.

Bonus points for farmers, libertarians, and freaks in the sheets.
