My Name is Alexander.

I love the adventure of life. I'm not sure how I could really sum myself up without writing a novel, I mean how could anyone? If I had to try I would say I'm a Viking rockstar! (I jest) I love music, and culture, dance and art. I love sharing experiences with friends and family! I am married, and we have very poly friendly morals in regards to love, life, and marriage. She and I on occasion date separately and/or together. We are not looking for some fantasy hook up, but are genuinely interested in relationships. Nor does she expect a lady I might be seeing to be interested in her in any way other then showing her friendliness and the courtesy doe her station as my wife and life partner. Fyi, I met her here on Okcupid, so this site works!

Ultimately the woman I am looking for would be aggressive, and nurturing. Mature, reflective, friendly, kindhearted who can communicate openly and honestly. Educated, emotionally balanced, intelligent, who can stimulate me with her wit and interests. Affectionate, faithful, and romantic, and makes and ideal lover. She is patient, thoughtful, and adventurous and is a valuable life partner. She is beautiful to me, a little sexy, physically fit and of a very tactile nature. We would give mutual respect to each other and share our thoughts and dreams. I need to feel a deep and meaningful connection to my romantic partner, so someone I could talk to very easily! Someone who can keep me focused and be the driving force behind my success. My ideal lady would be geeky, but well dressed and attractive!

-About Me
I generally like being happy, often in a boisterous way. I am rather hyperactive, and am usually in motion. I think being normal is boring, and mundane equals sucks. I love to articulate my thought, and discus all kinds of things.

I do go out, I like adventures. I appreciate edgy aspects of life. I like sitting on street corners with kids with Mohawks, or mosh pit dancing to killer music... while sitting in my car. I really like walking around parks and talking, or even just pretending to fight monsters with sticks.
I like sharing my time the most.

I have a LOT of AWESOME interests, and am really good at certain stuff, oh and and they are all cool things too! I will briefly describe them here as much of who I am is reflected in what I do.

-What I do with my time...

I love music, and both sing and play bass guitar. I love to sing and do it all the time. I play three different genres...
I sing Celtic and Scandinavian folk with Hravnsongr.com
I play in melodic Metal/Rock band Deadiron.com
I also am a founding member of the Punk/Oi! band Brazen Rogues. www.myspace.com/brazenroguesplus
Do not hit on me because I am in a band, that's lame and you'll be disappointed because I have a brain, don't get high. Oh, and wont put out on the first date :) ...usually... (Joke, joke!!)

I LOVE dancing too, but I am new to it!

-Important aspects of my life are...
The martial path Martial Arts. That's a biggie towards my personal growth and development.
I study Kung-fu and European Sword technique.
I regularly compete in tournament sword fighting competitions and melee events with groups such as the SCA (scademo.com)
I study ancient Norse culture, from spirituality to clothing to combat. This allows me to do reenactment of Viking era living history.
I really enjoy doing this stuff and find it hugely fulfilling.

Spiritually... I suppose I am a Asatru Taoist Atheist, if that makes sense at all.. I am huge into Norse heathenism, Asatru (the polytheistic ancestral spiritual practice of Iceland, and Scandinavia, similar to Shinto of Japan).
I basically fell in love with the viking gods & lore when I was very little. I love it and it's important to me.
That does not mean I take any religion literally, like I said I am a Taoist, it just means I understand them for what they are and are not, science is real, the Tao is openness and Asatru is awesome. That said I am a Gothi for a local kindred ;)

My favorite games is D&D, and I don't care how dorky that makes me, I hope this weeds people who suck out, lol!! I love role play gaming that use only your imaginations, and wits. It's like thespian-ism (I would have been an actor if it wouldn't have interfered with being so punk rock when I was younger... not sure if I made the right choice there in hind sight...

By day I am a Massotherapist and by night I am the lead singer of a touring metal band... oh and on the weekends I am a competitive tournament Sword Fighter. :-D

I am a LMT with Life-Rx, a holistic medical clinic.
See www.nordichealthmassage.com for more details.
Singer-Songwriter in DEADIRON
See www.deadiron.com for more details.

My five year goal is to have my career in full swing and be settled. Aside from that just getting better at my skills. Within ten years I would like to have my family settled too. Not that you can rush that sort of thing, but I'm just saying...

Talking ... a lot...
Creating cool things.
Making people pay attention to me, especially in large social gatherings, or when I am on stage.
Kicking ass.
Managing time... (no I'm just kidding, I SUCK at time management, absolutely horrid. I'm like ten minuets late for everything, and I always have just one more thing I need to do...)
Manifesting great people into my life.
Making my dreams real.

I do enjoy some cooking, sewing, and blacksmithing, and craftsmanship but I am not very industrious left to my own devises and prefer these activities as social ones.

That I am ridiculously cool, handsome and successful! ...or that I am goofy :)

Books: Havamal, Lord Of The Rings, A Game Of Thrones, Prose Edda, Njal's Saga, Book of Five Rings, Grunt's, American Gods.. many more..

Movies: Lot's but here is a few... The Princesses Bride, Legend, Labyrinth, The 13th Warrior, Lord of the Rings, Evil dead, Transformers... the cartoon movie... you know the one were Optimus Prime did not get to come back to life.

TV Shows: I don't watch TV. If I had to it would be Cartoons. Some times I will watch certain shows on DVD sets or on Hulu. I'll make big exceptions for a few series... BABYLON 5. Metalocolyps, and... Married with Children to name a few!

Music: Metal, Punk, Hardcore, Folk...
As for bands... lots... I really can not name them all.
So lets say, what is in my car's CD player right now
Tyr, Slayer, the Misfits, Wisdom in Chains, Metallica, The Clancy Brothers, Cryptopsy, and Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies.

Food: I love food. All food. I am motivated by food. I really like organic foods, and healthy foods, but I am not above fast food. I like Asian food, Indian food, Spicy food, Mexican food, you name it. Although I do not eat most Sugars, and avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup. I have pretty bad Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and it makes me an instant asshat if I eat sugar.

I also like Smoothies. A lot

Close intimacy with loved ones. I need a high level of social connection.

The Martial Way

Spirituality.

Music.

Self discovery, and growth

Freedom of mobility. I need a car. I feel trapped when I cant get around.

Visiting or moving to Iceland on a pilgrimage to study Asatru with the Ásatrúarfélagið. To explore the homeland of my gods and ancestors, and fighting in Viking combat, LH and SCA.

If anybody will actually responded to the email I sent them on this stupid dating site! Jeez you just put your self out there... and then... silence, not even get a response. Whats up with that? Tell me I suck, tell me thanks for writing but please don't, tell me my ears are too big, or you think swords are not cool...

... sword are in fact actually very cool...

...so is food... I'm hungry.

Trying to balance out the bazillion social obligations I have that all magically happen to be on the same time and on the same night.

That's a funny question. Um... lets see...
I am very... whats the word? ... Metro, yeah, that's it, and would probably have been gay too if I didn't like lady's so much!
But seriously, I am a very emotional person, I cry at movies.

um... what else...
..and I don't think I'm ugly, or stupid...

I think I also mentioned that I am Asatru, that means I worship Thor... as in the god of thunder... for real... :)

...and Odin... Freyr... Freya... Tyr... Balder... you know, the regular crew ;)

-Epilogue
If you like being positive, lighthearted, and open.
If you think you could survive a fist fight, especially if you think you could win.
If you think spirituality is cool without taking what you believe to seriously.
If you believe that you are special.
First date is coffee, mid day. Just to talk. Bottom line is, if we cant talk and have fun then, we can't ... do other stuff. :) If you can impress me with your charm and personality then we'll talk about a fun style date, ;)
