My self-summary
To start off, it must be said that I dislike intelligent conversation, despise traveling, abhor wit like nature does a vacuum. I also hate vacuums. And nothing gets my goat more than genuine people with their honesty, curiosity and compassion. Also, I have a ton of time for games and am looking forward to getting catfished soon.

Hmm...hopefully the sarcasm translated. Although it’s true about vacuums.

To be sincere, I must be with people who stimulate me intellectually and they must have a wicked sense of humor, enjoy word play and puns.

A little about me: I lived in Spain for 4 years, am ambidextrous, have won more than one calf (legs not cows) competition, judge an annual chili cookoff (poorly) and once took third place in a bike rodeo.

My entire life, they and I stress THEY have used these adjectives to describe me: dynamic, creative, compassionate, outgoing, funny, strong (emotionally and mentally, less so physically but I can lift heavy things) and a few souls have ventured to call me sexy. I am also very humble and don't enjoy compliments a lot. I have an internal confidence that people recognize, possibly through my self-deprecating humor.

When I was twenty-four, I found myself. I truly found myself. I was living in a village two hours north of Barcelona, Spain, where I lived for over four years, and then suddenly one day there I was. I haven’t changed philosophically since then although becoming a father added a dimension to my beliefs.

I have secretly left flowers at friend’s houses and yet fall asleep every time I enter a church. I take pride in helping people carry random things, but think Karma is too forward-looking and retributive. I try not to live my life based on anyone's concept of punishment and reward, yet hold myself to high standards.

Oh, and I don't know who Ed Hardy is.
What I’m doing with my life
I have goals but the best laid plans go aft aglay, so its best to roll with punches.
I’m really good at
finishing this sentence.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Authors: Vonnegut, Bukowski, Tolstoy, John Irving, Malcolm Gladwell, Robbins, Camus, McCarthy, Nobokov, Faulkner, Italo Calvino, Marquez
Movies: The Room
Music: Jose Gonzales, Nick Drake, Bonnie Prince Billy, Iron and Wine, Deer Hunter, Phosphorescent, Mojave 3, but beyond indie I also enjoy Sam Cook, Nina Simone et al. But you can also find me dancing to Phoenix, Cut Copy or anything with a strong beat. I also know most of the lyrics to NWA's first album and every song by the Smiths, Cure, Joy Division (Yes, I am old). In fact everytime I turn on my electric toothbrush I think it sounds like a Joy Division song- think She's flossed control.
The six things I could never do without
I'm an empty essay...very Buddhist
I spend a lot of time thinking about
how stupid this sentence is and if hipster birds fly in a deep V formation.
On a typical Friday night I am
Looking for something to do for myself or playing uno with my 5 year old daughter. Either way, I'm reminded of my singularity in the world. Ha! Uno...get it. Truthfully, I have a blast with my daughter but enjoy engaging with others on the weekends I'm free. I get my energy from others so if you are a home body, you might resent my desire for the company of others.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit
There is nothing private about me.
I could spend a lot of time here. People that know me, know I'll talk about anything. I think it is a strong quality to openly disclose our frailities to others.
