I am Eclectic, Adventurous, and Musical.
My Self-Summary
Hello and thanks for stopping to check out my profile. If I have
retained your interest, allow me to say more; Some of my endearing
qualities: Adventurous, Creative, Artistic, Musical, Open Minded,
Emotionally & Verbally Expressive, Liberal (Politically &
Socially), Environmentally Conscious, Laid Back & Easy Going
Personality.
I am fortunate to have a very close knit family and a small circle
of great friends. My Mother is an out-there artist and my Father an
old school conservative accountant. I grew up to appreciate both
Andy Warhol’s “Pop Art” and the opportunities created by making a
comfortable living. I enjoy attending Museums, catching live music
(TLA, the Trocadera, World Café Live are some my favorite venues),
seeing good movies (mostly of the Independent genre at the various
Ritz theaters), listening to great music and features on WXPN
(Y-Rock) and NPR, hanging out in coffee shops and bookstores.
I live an active life style, eat healthy (but enjoy indulging in a
large variety of cuisines), and am in pretty good physical shape
(mainly through playing Roller Hockey and Swimming laps, as well as
Biking, Hiking, and Walking).
Music is one of my passions, either playing my guitar or listening
to my favorite artists. My tastes include Indie Rock and Folk,
Alternative and Classic Rock, Punk & Ska, Reggae, Alt Country,
Classical and Jazz.
Traveling and experiencing new places is an ongoing pursuit of
mine. Over the past few years I have taken various trips to Europe
(Scandinavia, Scotland, England, Ireland, Czech Republic). I have
also recently traveled in Canada and cities in the Historic South.
Closer to home, NYC and the abundance of local day trips in the
Philly & South Jersey area are all very enjoyable.
