I guess the best description of me is left of center. I don't stand out as a typical archtype that makes me easy to define. I have an ecclectic appreciation of music and listen to almost anything but mostly what is considered alternative or indie. I take great pleasure in hearing a mainstream station make a big deal about a "new" song I've been listiening to for months on college radio. People tell me I have a dry sense of humor and sometimes people take me seriously when I am only kidding. I know how to cook, clean, do laundry, fix a tear in my clothes, iron my shirts/pants, and sew a button back on my clothes/pants/coats. I read alot and find myself making sure to have a book on hand if I know I will be waiting in line or for an appointment. I am a big film buff and I like to watch movies for the directors as much as for the story. I am not a big sports fan but have a more than working knowledge of most sports because I find myself involved in situations with friends that like and enjoy sports. One thing very true about me is that I like new experiences and I am willing to try most things at least once.

I am adventourous, left of center, and infinitely curious

I spent the better part of my life trying to not become part of the system but ultimately in the end giving up and joining the system. I have a decent job that is uninspiring, a good living situation, and a fairly stable life. I would like to travel more and get myself in a career that makes me interested in going to work day by day. I feel that I should be doing more, but have trouble putting these plans into action.

Reading, cooking, talking, and coming up with fun things to do. My ex told me that I was a very fun date because of my adventurous nature. I am also good with food and I can usually find the good places to eat in any area where I live. People tell me that I can deal with most set backs because I'm flexible and don't make a rigid plan that falls apart when one thing goes wrong. If my carefully laid out plans fall through I can still have a fun time and make sure my companion has a fun time. I think having a dark sense of humor helps in this context.

I'm kinda tall and kinda heavy. I guess I can look hulking and bearish but on the good side I can look a little intimidating so most people don't give me much trouble. I've been to some pretty sketchy areas in my life and have managed to stay out of trouble. I am also able to engage complete strangers in interesting and detailed conversations. I have allot of diverse interests so I am able to talk about almost anything. The fact that I wear glasses may make others think I'm intellectual or nerdy and usually being seen with a book enforces this image. I like to dress timeless so I always feel somewhat in fashion. I like solid traditional clothes usually with some type of accessory or t-shirt to assert my individuality or interests.

Where I am in my life and where I am going in my life, why we are here, existence, where the wonder in life has gone (for example why is it that banality becomes more and more of a reality as we age. It's as if the imagination calcifies as you take on more responsibilities), death and what happens after you die, what I should do to challenge myself and push myself out of my comfort zone.

Sometimes with friends and hanging out. Sometimes treating myself to a nice dinner and catching a movie I want to see. Sometimes hanging out in a book store seeing if any of the authors I follow have written new work. Rarely hanging out at home watching TV by myself.

I have a thing for women with short hair and a more intellectual look. I think glasses look good on women who take the time to find a pair that suits their face. For some reason that I can't explain I like women in oversized sweatshirts and hoodies.

Your are into reading, movies, alternative music, food and foodie pursuits, having fun, wear oversized sweatshirts and hoodies, and like trying new things/sharing new adventures.
