My self-summary
Here goes...

I'm a very genuine, caring mid-western/east coast guy looking for someone with whom to laugh...hard, be silly, use proper grammar, and have a nerf fight or two. I take pride in my wit, even when it's dull, and am always looking to sharpen it against others. I'm incredibly driven and ambitious, hence I'm working extremely hard to get to where I want to be. But for as serious as that sounds; everything's a punchline. Poop joke!

I've been accused of being a hopeless romantic as I love to cook, play piano, draw and read. I'm a history buff, so if it happened in the past, I'm interested. I love baseball history, which is odd because I'm not that big of a baseball fan. Currently, I'm reading anything and everything on espionage history. Honestly, I don't think I'm a hopeless romantic. I'm just hopeless.

My biggest fear, outside of spiders the size of dogs, is that books will soon become antiques, thus I read as many of them as possible because I find it impossible to read on a Kindle or an Ipad. I value an attention span, good conversation, and sharp banter. I can't stand smart phones, despite my inability to live without one. They're smart so people don't have to be and it's f***ing annoying.

I know a lot of this makes me sound like a curmudgeon. Don't worry, I'm not.

Having moved to LA three years ago, I am only now learning to appreciate the city. I love to go out, especially to chill holes in the wall and new restaurants, but always have fun at friends places, talking over good food until it runs out, then talking over good wine or, preferably, Jameson. I'm usually the one dropping quotes from movies no one under the age of 25 has seen or spouting off obscure trivia no one of any age ever needs to know.

I find thoughtfulness and empathy sexy and someone who loves a witty sparring match even sexier. If you can keep up with me, I'll be crazy about you.

Not sure if this paints an accurate portrait or not. All in all, I'm looking to connect.
What I’m doing with my life
working in entertainment; making movies so you don't have to.
I’m really good at
making people laugh, picking up on idiosyncrasies, being on time, using a sword (I'm a fencer), running/hiking, cooking without a recipe (at least I think so), not taking myself seriously (even when bleeding), listening, discovering things at which I'm not very good, which should be a category as it's probably far more telling than this one.
The first things people usually notice about me
I don't know; they've never told me.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Books: The Man Who Laughs, The Love of the Last Tycoon, The Phantom of the Opera (terrible book but still...) The Long Goodbye, Crime and Punishment, Into That Darkness, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, Madame Bovary, Witness, On Fencing, Raymond Chandler, Agatha Christie, too many historians to name, etc...

Movies: Jaws, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Clue, The Searchers, A Fish Called Wanda, A Serious Man, Spaceballs, Raiders, Last Crusade, There Will Be Blood, Amadeus, How Green Was My Valley, Get Shorty, To Be or Not To Be (original), Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Bond, Munich, and the list goes on and on...

TV: The Larry Sanders Show, Life's Too Short, Arrested Development. The Wire.

Music: Muse to Mahler. I'm pretty eclectic on this one but I do love jazz (old school Bill Evans).

Food: Thai, Indian, Italian, Greek, Martian. I love to cook so I'm down for anything.
