Self-summary...well, about to embark on the next phase of my life with curiosity and excitement. I am fun loving, free spirited and passionate. I have a somewhat quirky personality, think a bit outside the box, love to laugh, experiencing all that life has to offer with as much joy as I can muster. I am looking for someone to share interests, great conversations, dreams, laughter, fun times and quiet times, someone I can just "be" with.
I love to hike and snowshoe, observing and photographing nature as I go. I love music, obsessed in fact, with tastes varying from the Foo Fighters all the way to Kelly Clarkson. (More insight to follow...) I'm a great cook, enjoying the creative process as well as the end result.
I love weekend day trips to undiscovered destinations or favorite places.
I love the continuous motion of the ocean surf but also love the calm, stillness and peace of a mirror-like lake.
I like to crank up the volume of my favorite tunes in my car while I sing and dance during my daily commute.

Rediscovering myself and finding I can't wait to see what happens next. Looking for someone special to help ground me, calm me and cherish me the way I have always hoped for and to be able to do the same back. I am looking for a man of his word, true to himself and the important people in his life.

Making people feel better, giving advice and somehow, always finding the right thing to say to help. Sometimes I wonder just where it comes from, like I am bring channeled or something.

My eyes and smile and my ease.

Just downloaded "Life of Pi" onto my Kindle. Want to read the book before seeing the movie. Jane Green is a favorite author of mine. Love "chick" books as well as a good mystery. Enjoyed "Gone Girl". I like books that tell people's stories, love to know why people do what they do. A study in human nature, people interest me.
Movie tastes vary, but I am a sucker for a quirky comedy. Having seen "Ted" this summer, it is now my new favorite comedy (great flick). Ultimate favorite movie that I could watch over and over, "Waitress"...great movie.
TV show musts are Californication, Shameless, House of Lies, Hung, Louie and Royal Pains. Just watched the entire series of Homeland and I am totally hooked. Also, just getting into Game of Thrones. Thoroughly enjoy it, but admittedly, I could do without the gore...sometimes I hide my eyes...
Musical tastes flow from the Foo Fighters, (Dave Grohl is my number one guilty pleasure), Incubus, Rage Against the Machine, (great after a tough day at work), Audioslave, David Gray, Damien Rice, Gavin Degraw, Jason Mraz, Coldplay to Kelly Clarkson and Colbie Caillat. Lately I have been drawn to Matt Nathanson...can't get enough of his words and fun, dance-able melodies. Andy Grammer is another new favorite, fun music that just makes me move...great springtime musts. Love to get out and listen to live bands and dance, dance, dance.
Some of my favorite foods include sushi and sashimi, rare rib eye steak, all seafood, popcorn and maple walnut ice cream, I've been told it's an "old people flavor", but I love it.

My children and family
My friends
My happiness
My music
My camera
My kindle
Adding one more, affection, got to touch and be touched...

Everything...I've been told that I think too much...

With my friends or just chilling after a long week...

Wouldn't be private now, would it?

You are an honest, genuine guy who understands the meaning of integrity. You like to get outside and explore but are also comfortable just chilling and cuddling together on the couch. You enjoy conversation, laughter and life and you want to share experiences and adventures with humor, interest and curiosity.
