I'm fun, witty, passionate, and dependable. I enjoy a bit of sarcasm and keep my friends in stitches. I'm always up for an adventure, trying a new restaurant (Japanese bbq!), live music (especially blues), or getting lost in a book (see below) or movie. I try to balance my intellectual, physical, and philosophical pursuits. I'm currently learning how to do handstands and backbends. Update: I'm getting better! Maybe I'll post a pic.

I've been bit by the traveling bug. I'm a sucker for an exciting adventure - global or local. I'm already planning my next adventure. Next up: Italy & Budapest!

I'm really thrive on learning new things. I'm currently working my way through The Four Hour Chef. Next homework recipe: Sexy Time Steak. You're curious. Admit it. I can't make this stuff up. Well, I could...

But I think you'll agree that there's only so much you can learn about someone by reading these personals. Let's start up a conversation and see what happens.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Striving for balance and enlightenment. The usual.

Krav Maga, fun, rock climbing, learning, dodgeball, programming, design, drawing, converting oxygen to carbon dioxide.

My laugh.

1) My friends & family
2) a sense of humor
3) adventure
4) the internet
5) my phone
6) art (and I think anything at its highest form is art)

Architecture, sculpture, art in general. How to better balance myself. Especially during hand stands. What to see in Italy and where to travel to next. Too many things to list really.

Busy.

I used to watch Glee.

You seek fun, adventure, laughter, and someone to experience it with.
