Hi, I'm Chris. I just moved back to Santa Barbara after almost 5 years living down in Ventura. I'm from the O.C. originally.

I have a very unique sense of humor and frequently comment on everything that goes on around me. I can rarely watch a movie or TV show without riffing on it. I find humor in almost everything around me, the bad and the good.

I'm an animal lover. In college I worked for 4 years at a pet store AND a dog groomer. Now I only have one cat (darn small place!) but someday hope to have a menagerie again.

I am pretty musical. I used to sing all the time (semi-pro) and still sing karoke and to guitar hero!

I'm honest (sometimes to a fault). Some people really love this, others can't handle it. But I don't criticize and get along with most people.

I LOVE to travel. I've been to Hong Kong, Thailand, Laos, Sweden, Denmark, Jamaica, the Caymans, and Mexico. Really hoping to visit Japan, Scotland (my ancestor's homeland), and Slovenia, Slovakia, and Czech Republic. (I've heard good things about Eastern Europe)

Random stuff about me:
I can tango, fox trot, rumba, and waltz.
I go to the gym 3-4 times a week
I eat yogurt every day (I love yogurt)
I always find something interesting to talk about
I build small robots as a hobby
I used to be a league bowler
When I was a teenager my parents sent me to Outward Bound and so I have all these freaky Chuck Norris like outdoor survival skills

I'm the IT Director and Head Programmer for a small-to-medium sized business out in Goleta. I like the flexability it offers me

I want to own my own business (again), but am far to good at pointing out flaws in various business models and killing off my own enthusiasm. It's going to happen. I sit up nights working on the perfect business idea.

coding, computers, cooking (LOVE to cook and cooking for other people - I don't care who you are, if I HATE you I'll cook you a good meal just because I know you'll enjoy it), making other people laugh, and thinking random thoughts.

My smile. I'm always smiling!
My energy level. I'm a pretty high-energy person.

Someone once asked me why I DON'T drink coffee and I said "because I'd explode."

I like mystery, sci-fi, horror, fantasy, etc books as well as poetry (Paradise Lost is one of my faves and I'm utterly non-religious). I have my nose in a book at least an hour a day.

I love Arrested Development, Twin peaks, Melrose place, Simpsons, BSG, Curb Your Enthusiasm, G4 (I'm a geek), and Dirty jobs!

I love modern and alternative rock, especially 90's stuff and 80's music, how can you not like 80's music? I also love 60's stuff (my mom was a certified woodstock attending hippy)

I love any sort of food. Thai, chinese, sushi, mexican, italian, etc. I'll eat anything. I've had some strange food in thailand and hong kong and I just ate it down.

the internet & computer (how did people work before these?),
my well-used cast iron fry pan,
my cat,
being able to travel,
people to talk too,
my singing voice

things I want to do but don't have time for: like joining a chorale society, or hiking the cascade mountains, or going back to Thailand, or travelling to England (I'm an anglophile), or going to Japan, or building some website business, or making my own video game (omg do I have a billion video game ideas) or thinking about complicated physics theories.

wandering around Santa Barbara somewhere, in a book shop, or cafe or even staying at home

I was married before. And happily. Until she turned to crime to make extra money, and committed several counts of felony fraud. That kind of was, umm, not good for our marriage.

You want a funny reply or you just want to chat!

If you want to go on a fun date with someone who will make you laugh, even better!
