I'm 6'2, 33, in good shape, open-minded, and kind.

I love museums, nature, picnics, gardening, bike riding, camping, travel, working around the house, movies, zoos, the theater, float trips, roller derby, amusement parks (when they're not crowded), scuba diving, and just going for an afternoon drive.

My current travel wish list includes Egypt, the Trans-Siberian Railroad, and Machu Picchu. Unfortunately I'm not having a lot of luck finding anyone who can join me on anything that elaborate. How about it, feel like traveling half way around the world?

When I go out at night I like a fun, relaxing time. No 500 people crammed like sardines into some club with over priced drinks and bad music playing way too loud. Movies are great as is talking with friends, playing games, a nice little bar where the people are actually friendly & you can hear each other, or just dinner and a walk. I don't really watch much in the way of sports. I like to go to a hockey game or the roller derby every once in a while but that's about it.

I work near downtown KC and tend to spend a lot of time downtown, in midtown, and on the Plaza but am open to women from anywhere around the area.

Random Facts: I like to split meals at restaurants. If I won the lottery, one of the things I would do is start a free range animal shelter. There is something really hot about a woman in a long flowing skirt. I love to lay in bed and snuggle. I have an almost compulsive desire to travel and see/experience the most exotic things that the world has to offer. I'm very attracted to kinky women; no kink in particular, just anything that you're into that will make me ask quizzically "Really, you're into what?" which will likely be followed by, "Heck yeah, I'm up for it!". I have an adorable black & white Shih Tzu named Roo (except when he's bad, then his his name is Roocifer). I would rather be intelligent than handsome. I'm a great cook and can grow just about anything (several types of tomatoes, bell peppers, and sweet peppers at the moment).

With the exception of vacations and the occasional splurge, I live a fairly modest lifestyle. I have a little house, an old (by reliable) car, and am blissfully unaware of what the current cool/in thing is to buy or wear.

I work a lot but love to spend time with quality people. I've been self-employed for over 13 years and I have a cute little house that I'm restoring. Most of my interests are covered in my "self-summary".

As far as recent events are concerned... I recently went to Blue Stem and it was amazing, seriously the best meal that I've ever had. If you want an amazing 2-3 hour dining experience from a world class chef to mark something momentous, you have to try this place. I'm trying my best to go skydiving for the first time but I keep getting rained out, I just got back from New Orleans for a business trip and it was amazing. Loved the architecture, food, and music so much! I have two camping/rafting/canoeing trips planned in the next month.

Anything business related, cooking, coming up with romantic evenings or getaways, finding a great deal, and computer/tech geek stuff.

My eyes (light blue), my height (6'2"), and my smile (I do it a lot, I'm a pretty happy person).

Books: I tend toward informational, educational, historical, etc. most of the time. If I want a good or moving story I usually go with a movie. I also tend to read a lot of travel magazines looking for places to go. If I had to choose a favorite book, it would be Animal Farm by George Orwell.

Movies: It's hard to find a movie that I wont sit through but the only ones that I watch over and over tend to be romantic comedies or romantic dramas (think The Notebook, A River Runs Through It, Two Weeks Notice, etc.). From time to time I need a loud action blow em up explosion and mayhem fest type movie. The first are best at home curled up on the couch with a fire going and the second are always best in the theater.

Music: I can go for pretty much anything. I tend to listen to 93.9, 94.9, 95.7, 98.9, 101.1, & 103.3 with 101.1 being the one I check first for something good.

Food: I love most kinds of food with my favorites being Mexican, Chinese, and then Italian. I don't go for sushi and can certainly live without fruit in my salads but I tend to try pretty much anything that I come across. I love ice cream from Cold Stone and cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory.

1. Laptop 2. P.A.D.I. scuba diving card 3. Cheaptickets.com (for booking my vacations. I know its a shameless plug but they're great) 4. My family 5. An emotional connection 6. Some sort of business enterprise to put my energy toward (My motto is, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade... and then sell it! :o)

The places that I've been, the places that I want to see, and how I'm going to get there. I've been trying to come up with a place to volunteer and have tried a couple of things but nothing felt quite right; I'll have to think on that some more. Things I've done right, things I've done wrong, and how to do them better next time. As Socrates said, "A life without self-reflection is worthless."

Hanging out with friends, watching a movie, working, walking on the Plaza, or doing one of the many activities listed in my self summary.

During my mis-spent youth, I lived in a 60s VW Van in a field in north Georgia for a summer. I'm not likely to give up everything and move into a van again any time soon but at that point in my life, it was a blast. We hung out and partied all day, went to the lake to swim & play on the beach, and had all our friends who lived in the area over to party at night.

You're intelligent, you enjoy life, you're a quality person, you feel I'm wrong about something & have several clear, concise points to argue your opinion, or you share any of the interests I listed.
