Well what can I say... I'm a pretty normal guy. Laid back most of the time, actually I think all the time. I enjoy hanging out with friends, whether or not its at a bar, around a fire or playing cards in someones basement. I don't care, just like to be around people. I love singing karaoke. My repertoire is growing but slowly. I go to a lot of concerts. I love Chicago, I try to go there as often as possible. I cant really define what I'm looking for in a partner but I know it when i see it. However I do like a people with a good vocabulary and nice teeth. The eventual outcome of this search will hopefully be a long term think but we'll see what happens. If i meet some good friends along the way then that would be cool too. I'm not looking for a hook up.

Right now I'm a packaging operator at a chemical factory. Its a good job but i'm looking for something that would allow me a little more freedom... actually a lot more freedom.

Arguing, I mean debating. Singing Sinatra tunes. I think i'm a pretty good cook. although i find it really hard to cook anything without making it spicy

Maybe that I'm tall but thats not all that unusual these days

Books: Dan Brown. I still have two of his to read, Peter Schiff, and Ayn Rand, The God Delusion, Running With Scissors, anything with statistics and the Rats of NIHM series was good

TV: Seinfeld, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Family Guy, American Dad, Sons of Anarchy, NFL, MLB, How I Met Your Mother, Two and a Half Men, Big Bang Theory, Brothers and Sisters, The Office, 30 Rock, Law and Order(all 3),

Music: lots and lots of music but my favorites are Phish, Frank Sinatra, Aerosmith, Tom Petty, Bob Marley, U2, Sheryl Crow, Jazz and Blues as well. and if it's outdoors and live i'm there

Food: I'll eat just about anything except liver, sour kraut, and most seafood. Pizza, Mexican, Pasta and Chinese are my favorites though
I prefer to eat food that is spicy enough to make me cry

The laptop, cellphone, good friends, beer, the freedom to come and go, good music

I spend a great deal of time thinking about a way to earn a living with a less structured schedule than my current job. and Politics, though i'm trying to cut back.

Friday nights I work till 11pm so i usually just go home but if there is something specific going on I'll go out. Saturdays are a different story.

I really don't have any private thoughts that i'm not willing to admit in public

You are a rational human being who's primary goal in life is to enjoy it. professional ambition is good too but whats the use if the end product isn't the means to have a good time.
