I have eclectic taste in music and love movies. I am passionate about media and politics. I'm an NPR junkie.

I am a humanist soufflé flavored with Jewish spices.

I cook the best chili you ever had.

I am the luckiest person you will ever meet. I have received kindness when I needed it, and have been able to offer kindness when needed.

I put curry on my popcorn and improvise when I cook.

My jukebox ranges from Beatles to Animaniacs to Hayseed Dixie to Gershwin to Frantic Flintstones to just about anything else. I am looking forward to how you will expand my collection.

My cable is turned off, but I am addicted to DVDs.

I'll make you smile every day.

I have a dry sense of humor and people take me far to seriously.

I am totally addicting.

Right now I have become addicted to taking tests on OKCupid. I am looking for a test to determine what kind of tests I like to take.

H-E-L-P!!!!

(I also write, follow Boston sports teams, listen to music, play with my kids and obsessively follow the campaign.)

Listening.

Admitting my mistakes.

Forgetting your mistakes.

Forgiveness.

Missing your signals - (tell me what you mean - PLEASE!!!)

Massage (does every guy say this?)

Computer geek stuff.

Making chili, popcorn and chocolate chip cookies.

Understanding what makes you special.

Saying the wrong thing at the right time.

Saying the right thing at the wrong time.

Falling asleep when driving.

Creating complex systems.

Calming a crying baby.

Taking care of you.

Being in love.

I am the very model of a cartoon individual. My animation's comical, unusual, and whimsical.

You can listen to my Launchcast station at http://music.yahoo.com/lc/?rt=0&rp1=0&rp2=1002789112. I have rated over 18,000 songs, artists and albums, so it will give you a pretty good feel for what I like.

My mistresses...

Hope: As much as I try to leave her, Hope keeps returning. She is the cruelest mistress, but, in truth... I miss her when she's gone.

Charity: If an Athiest can be blessed, then I have been blessed by having Charity in my life when I've needed her. Charity and I do not have a monogomous relationship, and I have to admit, I really enjoy sharing her with others.

Faith: I love her for her unwavering beleif in the kindness of the human spirit.

Love: My constant companion (although, I warn you - she is both jealous and generous).

Honor: Um... never mind.

...and a $20 bill in case of an emergency and a lottery ticket in case.

(I am avoiding Destiny because I hear she can be a real bitch...)

OKCupid tests.

The next election.

Today.

My kids.

Why half the world is lonely when the other half is lonely to and we just can't get it together.

What to do with my lottery winnings.

The complexities and contradictions of human nature.

Square dancing with my kids.

Public confession holds little interest for me. Ask me what you want to know. I have a compulsion for telling the truth. This tendency gets me in trouble - often.

(((OOOO... COP OUT ANSWER!!!!)))

Really? Okay... How about... Every time I buy a lottery ticket, I really believe I'm going to win, and then feel genuine disappointment when I don't. (This message might change after the drawing next Friday night.)

My brain and body wants me to be polyamorous, but my heart doesn't.

I want to make Waiting For Godot with Bugs Bunny as Vladimir, Daffy Duck as Estragon, Foghorn Leghorn as Pozzo, Porky Pig as Lucky, and the little chicken with glasses as the boy. I think this is what Beckett had in mind...

I developed a formula to determine the healthiness of emotional reaction to stimulus - possible the most significant breakthrough in the understanding of human psyche in over fifty years - but the cat peed on it.

The given autonomy of any individual is dependent upon the governing authority.

The Chuck Berry song Memphis makes me cry.

I make you smile.

You don't mind stream of conscious messages that can meander. My mind works fast and so do my fingers. I don't beleive in editing personal correspondants, other than for spelling, grammar or clarity. In other words, you get the un-edited me right from the get go.

You don't beleive in first dates. You know, where you try to look and act your best so the other person really likes you. Bleg. I'm me. You be you. Maybe we'll like each other, maybe we won't. But at least you know that I'll be the same person on the first date and our 25th anniversary. (shudder)
