Hello and thank you for taking the time to read about me. I think I'm a pretty good fella. ;) I believe in being a gentleman and I'm an honorable man. And I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY so that makes me a Yankee. I don't think I could survive a Buffalo winter any more though. I served 4 years in the Air Force and spent two years overseas in England, so I'm a bit of an Anglophile. I'm 6 ft and 185 lbs. I think I match the whole tall, dark, and handsome thing. I have one cat and one dog. It's my own little zoo. Yep, I love animals and plan on having pets for the rest of my life. I can do a pretty mean 'Sling Blade' impersonation too.
update: my dog disappeared out of my locked and securely fenced in back yard...I'm totally baffled and very sad about her disappearance.

Working...fixing up my house...looking for a partner in life. I would like to be doing MORE with my life...it's much more fun to have someone that I like to do it with. :) I'm a software engineer and have been doing it for about 14 years now.

my job. Hmmm....and answering questions. I'm pretty good at making other people laugh. And I've been told I'm a good mentor at work...which I'm rather proud of.

you'd have to ask the 'people'. ;) But I think I have a pretty good sense of humor and have more than one brain cell...those are some noticeable traits in my opinion. I think I'm perty too...ha ha. What's wrong with liking yourself? I'm not a narcissist either. ;)

Books: I like George R.R Martin's stuff and I read a lot of technical books for my job.

Food: Artichokes! I like making bread in my bread machine too. I've also discovered that I can make a very good Thanksgiving turkey dinner with all the trimmings.

having pets, my IPhone, my Netflix subscription, glasses...and a broadband connection. Oh and a DVR...I record everything that I watch now and skip past all the commercials.

Duuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh....my brain is nothing but white noise. ;) I'm kidding of course...if you want to know what I think about, just send me a message and ask.

curled up in the fetal position crying bitter tears...but actually, just relaxing and watching TV or something. If I was dating, I'd be on a date. I don't trawl the bars though.

I love lamp.

And sometimes I like to watch 'The Food Network' at night....Iron Chef, Good Eats...they make me want to cook something.

1) You got the joke in my 'The most private thing I'm willing to admit here' answer. If you didn't, I'm sure you've seen the movie it's from...here's a hint...it's from a Will Ferrell movie.
2) You're a nice person (female please and younger than I am)
3) You understand the difference between "your" and "you're". ;)
4) Interested in having a relationship at some point (i'm a relationship guy)
5) You have or like animals..especially cats
6) I bought a Yamaha YPT420 61-Key Portable Keyboard because I always wanted to learn how to play the piano. I'm going to be teaching myself, but it would great if I had a teacher. :)
7) Do you like remodeling? I'm remodeling my house and need someone who has a good eye for picking colors, styles, etc. Otherwise, my house will become a man cave.
