In the past I filled my entire profile with a semi-serious tone full of quips, puns and (hopefully witty) comments. I'll leave that for the second half of my profile.

The biggest question people have when looking at a dating/social profile is what is this person looking for? I would say right now the biggest things are someone to have a good time with, someone to connect with and intimacy. Ideally I'd like all of these things to come from the same person but I've learned that's easier said than done.

Professionally- I work as an accountant for one of the largest corporations on earth. I don't love it, I don't hate it. Sometimes its rewarding, sometimes its frustrating. That's ok since it doesn't define who I am.
Physically- I just purchased a place of my own for the very first time. It's a condo right off Route 80. It's one of those moments where you realize you're a full fledged adult and there is no turning back.
Personally- I have a decent amount of friends (75 according to Facebook) but the I can only count on the amount of people I get to hang out on a consistent basis on one hand. Therefore I am on a seemingly endless quest to meet new, quality people. As a general rule I'll meet anyone who isn't an a-hole and seems like they can carry on a decent conversation. Sometimes even if the "chemistry" isn't there you can still make a friend or get a good story out of the experience.

-useless 80s trivia
-asking questions that don't really need to be asked
- on the flip side revealing things maybe I shouldn't have revealed
-coming up with inventive ways to save a couple of bucks
-Pop-a-Matic Trouble (I haven't lost a game since I was a kid)

People don't really notice me at first- I tend to operate behind the scenes in life... but I guess I would say my devilish smirk. If I wear a tank top then maybe my arms.

BOTH- Sideways, Man on the Moon, Roger & Me, Being John Malkovich, All Three Back to the Futures
FOR THE KID IN ME- Never Ending Story, Muppets Take Manhattan, Best of Charles in Charge
(C)- Springsteen, Dire Straits, Tom Petty, Mellencamp, etc., 80s stuff like Tears for Fears, Crowded House and one hit wonders, bands just about everyone likes (ex. U2, Coldplay), good ol classic rock and occasionally something new that comes out The Fray. I'll even throw Dido in there.
(D)- Just about everything that doesn't have a lot of cheese (although I do like pizza); finding a good seafood place is always nice- Red Lobster just doesn't cut it. Into trying more ethnic foods like Indian and Thai. And anything with chipotle is good. Heck I'd probably eat your shoes if they had some chipolte flavor to it.

New list:
I'll be original and not put things like friends, family, music, air, Ipod (I don't even own one) and go with these six- semi regular physical activity, flirty text messages, intelligent left wing satirists (Jon Stewart types), cheap groceries at Shop Rite and Dollar tree, my trusty hiking stick and the promise of a better tomorrow.

Old list:
Wendy's late night pick up window, cable modem internet connection, late night TV reruns (sometimes I have no patience for originality), sleeping in on weekends, good friends & family and hope (it is a good thing...maybe the best of things...right?

People...life....politics...the future....relationships...my fantasy football team.... My mind does tend to wander from the surreal to the sublime sometimes. Not quite sure what that means but it sounds good.

Random silly things that I really don't spend much time thinking about but are examples of my observational humor are as follows:
-Why a lot of people seem to list witty as one of their defining adjectives...somehow I'd think they would come up with something wittier to describe themselves.
-Why Family Guy and That 70s show (which are decent shows don't get me wrong) need to be TV 8x a day. Can't a brother get some Benson or Diff'rent Strokes?
-Why people get lasik eye surgery? By me wearing glasses I can see the world two different ways- clear and blurry which I think is kinda cool. Plus glasses look good on a chick... call it the Palin effect.

Trying to recover from the previous 5 days. You put your time in, you should be allowed to do whatever the hell you want on a Friday night. Just staying in and watching DVDs or flipping around the TV is fine by me. If I get a nice offer to go out and have some fun I'll gladly accept but by no means is it a necessity. I'm always up for a late night diner run or Applebee's 1/2 price appetizer. Half price be my middle name. Hollar!

I've been known to almost cry towards the end of Mean Girls during Lindsay Lohan's speech at the prom. I repeat...almost.

You can appreciate my mix of humor and candor; you are up for some witty banter or appreciate the value of making new friends but of course leaving the door open for further possibilities.

If your profile has something that has piqued my interest I'll probably send you a message to ask you something about it. I'm curious like that...and sometimes idle chit chat online is a good way to pass the time.

Don't message me if (again not to be taken too seriously)
-you describe yourself as "wierd"- I can't tell whether you are "weird" or "wired".
-you wear sweatpants with writing on your butt (do you really want guys staring at your ass?)
-your profile says you are looking for a "normal" guy. I realize you don't want a complete psycho (which I'm not) but looking for normal is like settling for mediocrity in my book.

Do message if:
-you have not taken what I've written way too seriously
-you won't get pissed off if I correct you on "your" vs. "you're"
-you can forgive my own omission of key words in my writing
-If you're looking for a guy who plays an instrument...and are willing to consider Guitar Hero an instrument.
