I am Friendly, Amusing, and Spontaneous.
My Self-Summary
I think I resemble a cross between Frasier Crane and Ray Romano,
because sometimes I do like to sit around, watch some baseball or
TV, relax and enjoy life, I am a man with whom you can rent a good
movie or watch an episode of Law and Order or
Buffy, but could also trust to whisk
you off on a weekend to the Blue Ridge, or take you for dinner and
dancing. I consider myself introspective, intuitive, and aware of
what's going on around me. I grew up in Western Massachusetts, but
after going to college down in Virginia I ended up staying, setting
up shop in Alexandria and working in DC for a while. Currently I
live in Richmond in the West End. I love the area but for some
reason always miss
New England a little, that piece of
home. I am open, laid back, someone with whom it is easy to have a
conversation. I love to communicate and to learn things, I work in
Marketing and Analysis which has it challenges, and can be quite
fun sometimes, I also enjoy news/politics,
baseball, a bit of hockey (watching
both),
XC
skiing, world
travel,
music,
theatre,
museums, and more. Little things get me
going.
What I’m doing with my life
I work for a large bank in Richmond. I do a lot of analytical work.
I love it. Dream would be to work my way in to television and
entertainment industry, but I do very well and enjoy the work I do
now.
I’m really good at
navigating, being a scout leader, along with that, wilderness
survival, hiking, camping and the like. Giving you useless trivia
about TV, movies, and about everything else since I read about 5
newspapers a day.
The first things people usually notice about me
Sorry, cliche, everyone says eyes, but when I work with children I
get the comment from the buggers that I shave my head.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Book: Invisible man
Movies: too many to name, so, a sample Hook, Slumdog, Love
Actually, Watchmen, The Queen, Elizabeth (HBO Mini Series),
Armageddon (a vice), Dr. Horrible's Sing A-Long Blog!
Music: Everything, but favs are: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street
Band, James Taylor, U2, Beck, Rusted Root
Food: New England seafood, but I eat everything, second fav would
be French food, oh and anything made by Can Can or the Fat Canary
in Williamsburg.
The six things I could never do without
Family
The Arts
Media
My Kitties
Travel
My dreams
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Life, Liberty, Love, and Relationships. Well also the arts hehe,
even though I am a Finance major as Shrek would say, like an onion
I have many layers hehe.
On a typical Friday night I am
Doing what I want to do, or doing what people want to do that I
like doing too.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I am an extrovert, who prefers to listen, and find the one person
in the room who wants to be listened to.
You should message me if
I am looking to meet someone with whom I can have a conversation, I
enjoy talking yes, but I also enjoy listening just as much. I am
interested in someone who has a sense of adventure and likes to let
loose a little bit for some fun, someone who likes to be
spontaneous or is open to being with someone who can surprise them
once and a while. I would like someone who can be open minded but
is also strong in their convictions, and is diverse. For example
you are happy wandering around a museum, dancing at a club till the
wee hours, open to traveling the world, cooking dinner for two at
home, or curled up watching a really horrid movie and just laughing
at it. I would like to meet someone who is caring and
compassionate, who cares as much about the feelings of the person
they are with as they do their own. I have a lot of love to give
and I would love to meet someone who wants to share in that so that
we can encourage each other. I believe for a successful
relationship it is very important to have complementing
personalities, and that helping each other grow together, can be
the key to a long-lasting relationship
