open minded, hard working, and a travel addict
My self-summary Propose an edit
I'm 6'2, 33 (as of Oct. 24th!), 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.
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 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.
What I'm doing with my life Propose an edit
I am going to the San Jose / San Francisco area in about a week so
if you know of something really unique and/or twisted that I should
see and/or experience while I'm there, PLEASE tell me. I'm all
about new & unusual experiences and I would love to find
something so far beyond that it would blow my mind!
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".
I'm really good at Propose an edit
Anything business related, cooking, coming up with romantic
evenings or get aways, finding a great deal, and computer/tech geek
stuff.
The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit
My eyes; vibrant blue, and my height, 6'2".
My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit
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.
The six things I could never do without Propose an edit
1. Laptop 2. P.A.D.I. membership 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)
I spend a lot of time thinking about Propose an edit
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."
On a typical Friday night I am Propose an edit
Hanging out with friends, watching a movie, working, walking on the
Plaza, or doing one of the many activities listed in my self
summary.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit here Propose an edit
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.
