I am intellectual, earthy, and frequently amused.
My Self-Summary
I have experience as a restaurant manager. I'm semi-bilingual (I
can speak Spanish in most situations), and I'm looking for a new
career opportunity. I like
skiing,
cooking,
rock climbing, fishing,
theater, the
arts, and a massive
variety of
music.
For now, I'm really in a pretty chill mode. New friends and people
to hang with are my priority at the moment.
What I’m doing with my life
I has a new gig! And the hours are significantly better than my
last job, so I actually can predict my free time!
I just bought a house a couple of months ago, and I'm spending a
lot of time tinkering with it. This will probably continue for the
foreseeable future.
You know, I'd be interested in checking out some sort of movement
based study. Martial arts, dance, or self defense (again.) Must
investigate this further.
I’m really good at
Teaching others, cooking, being supportive, being a smart-ass when
needed, skiing, falling off rock walls, manager-ing, laughing at
myself, and massages.
Hablo espanol y quiero aprender mucho mas.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm initially shy and kinda reserved except at work. I think most
people notice pretty quickly that I don't like to take myself
seriously for too long. I'm also short.
My favorite books, movies, music, and food
Favorite books (A partial list): Greek and Roman Mythology, Guns
Germs and Steel, The Hobbit, Lord of the Rings, the plays of
Shakespeare, Harry Potter, The Iliad and The Odyssey, World War Z,
Dante's Divine Comedy, Kitchen Confidential and The Nasty Bits by
Anthony Bourdain, I'm Just Here for the Food by Alton Brown, and

Rilke.

The six things I could never do without
Oxygen. Water. Food. Massages. Freedom of expression. Challenges.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
People who are important to me, language, work stuff, music,
finding/growing/cooking/enjoying food, and working on my house.
On a typical Friday night I am
Used to be working, but now I seem to be afflicted with semi-free
evenings. Hence the profile.
The most private thing I’m willing to admit here
I can wiggle my ears. No, that's not a metaphor.
You should message me if
You found this profile amusing/provocative/charming/etc... You'd
like me to elaborate on any topic. You're a foodie, or at least
adventurous...
