Who are we kidding? People are judged by their looks in the first five seconds of being seen...therefore, does writing anything here really help? Go ahead and look - just remember that just because a book is old, used and on the discount shelf doesn't mean that it isn't a fascinating read.....

I'd rather let the person get to know me than actually try to write what I am about...I think that meeting me versus what I write is a completely better exeperience.

However, just to give some continuity to this, I will say that I would like my match to be someone who can be independent and willing to accept me for me and not to try and change me.

A couple of words about me before I end this:

fun, honest, independent and open minded!

Currently fully engaged in furthering my career while trying to be a good son, uncle and civicly engaged citizen.
Fully engaged doesn't imply that I am all about work. That work-life balance is important and I want to find someone to share the ups and downs of life with.

Being me.

My presence and stature - and maybe the beard!

I am an ever evolving cornucopia of tastes
Music: Metal, punk, ska, jazz, classical (ask me and I'll name some)
Movies/TV: Star Wars, Big Bang Theory, North by Northwest, Shawshank, Warehouse 13, Memento, Hot Fuzz, Bourne, Pawn Stars, Duck Dynasty, anything engineering or construction related.
Literature: Ted Bell novels (Hawke), James Patterson novels (Alex Cross), Colum McCann, many others that escape me at the time of writing this.
Food: broadening my gastric palette - sushi, arancini, anything that used to walk (minus people), pizza, fish n chips.... bacon!

Diet Dr Pepper, toothbrush, bacon, mountains, music, salty snacks

How the world would be a better place if the lines of communication weren't 0's and 1's today and people actually knew how to speak/engage outside of digital devices.

Also, why I am thinking so much and not doing!

Watching movies, playing video games, reading, eating good food or curled up on the couch watching the stars and ferries pass in the night. Occasionally you might find me out and about.

You don't want to be judged and are looking for someone that puts you above all else, but at the same time will challenge you to be a better person. An equal.
