I worked in the computer industry for over 12 years at 2 companies until about 2005. The 1st company was the 2nd largest computer company in DE. at the time (AmeriStar Technologies). I was the Parts and accessories Manager. At the 2nd company (P.C Supplies, Inc.) I was an Account Executive and sold computers, networking equipment and services to retail, state and local government offices, schools etc..

I like joking, traveling, BBQ'ing, bowling (so-so), listening to music (usually on Rhapsody) singing, paintball. Sometimes I'll break out the keyboard and practice (teaching myself to read music). Can only play the beginngs of most songs and I like to play theme songs from tv shows or movies such as "Arthur" and "The Grinch" Haven't practiced in months though.

I'm a great listener and an observer of human behavior. I generally see the glass as half-full and like to think that most people are basically good. I respect everyone as human beings as long as they respect me. I hate arguing, but like playing devil's advocate at times just to keep things balanced. I'm very open-minded about most things and can usually see someone else's point of view even if I don't necessarily agree with it. I believe you should tell the people you love how you feel as much as possible and I love to spoil my nieces and nephews but not too much! My family and friends are a rich mixture of cultures and ethnicities and I try to absorb as much from all of them as I can! I can get along with many types of women from very femine girly girls to slightly tomboyish (emphasis on SLIGHTLY)!

Now, I am the Executive Chef/Gen. Mgr/Bouncer/Safety Inspector at a Sushi Bar and Japanese Restaurant in Middletown..big contrast from computers huh?! It's a lot of fun, hard work and low pay, but the owner/sushi chef is a good friend of mine so it's fine for now. (smile)
Oh yeah, I have my own recipe for the "WORLD'S BEST CLAMS CASINOS! I haven't found anyone that makes'em better.... YET! :)

Cooking (being a chef.. though not culinary school trained).. Somehow combining different leftovers (from friends and family's cupboards and fridges when they say there's nothing in there to eat) and adding herbs seasons etc and making something that tastes GREAT! They always say "hey, where'd you find that food"!

I'm also pretty good at being playfully silly, singing, sports, useless trivia (music, tv, movies), crosswords, peaceful negotiation, spelling, humor (puns, quick comebacks, one-liners, sarcasm, double-entendres, sexual innuendos), substituting words to songs, impressions, finding flaws(bloopers) in movies or tv shows.

My dimple when I smile (which is a lot)! My sense of humor, and my kindness and sincerity.

I haven't read any books lately, but used to read lots of Sci-Fi books such as Frank Herbert's Dune Trilogy, 2001 - A Space Oddysey. Greek/Roman/Norse/Indian Mythology books.

Just to name a few movies: Armageddon, The Bodyguard, The Guardian, The Negotiator, The Usual Suspects, The Sixth Sense, The Chronicles of Narnia, Gladiator, anything Will Smith, most M. Night Shyamalan, Milla Jojovich, Nicholas Cage, Dinero and Pacino. Some silly movies like Balls of Fury and Shallow Hal.
Even some animated movies like The Lion King (yes, I actually shed 1 or 2 very small tears:)

All types of music from ABBA to Chicago to Tears for Fears to Earth, Wind & Fire to Uncle Kracker, Nickelback, Coldplay, Jewel, Rascal Flatts, Ludacris, Jay-Z, No Doubt, Yoyo Ma

I am crazy about sushi and asian cuisine, but also like steak and burgers, mexican and soul food. Ever had deep-fried snapping turtle? It's delicioso!

The name of the song that's stuck in my head.
How many licks DOES it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop!
Is there intelligent life on other planets?
Is there intelligent life on this planet?
What can I do to make myself a better person?
When god makes love does he say "OH people, Oh people".. I know.. I'm gonna go to hell for that one!
The Big Bang Theory and the Expanding Universe.
Is there an Omniverse or different dimensions?
How can I make my Clams Casinos even better than they are?
Is light a substance?
And last but not least, sometimes I think about ABSOLUTELY DIDDLY!!!!

I generally work during the evenings so it's usually kinda late when I get home so I'll either cook dinner or order out. Check out Sci-Fi, Discovery or History channel. I may watch a movie or if I haven't used up all my energy, I'll work out (I usually work out around 3:45pm 3 or 4 days a week).
Sometimes if it's not too late some friends and I will break out the grill and some drinks and do some moonlight cookin' I can make sushi (although not at work) but don't tell my friend/boss. I don't want steal his thunder 'cause he is a sushi chef.

I'll have to get back to you on this one.

you're laid back, at least semi-playful, reasonably attractive, honest, and not a serial killer. I also like a bit of sass and spunk, but it's not required. As long a you know who you are and you treat people they way you wanna be treated goes a long way with me!

Peace!
