I try to live with a verve that can only be properly measured in big gulps of summertime air and the fragrant gust of autumn leaves.

My mother raised me to be a sensitive domestic.
I keep a clean house and I possess empathy.

My father taught me how to use power tools and fix mechanical things. It is because of him that I enjoy the scent of diesel fuel.

I grew up in Detroit, MI
I get nostalgic about home when I smell freshly paved asphalt.
I have always loved cars, and I know lots of little details about all sorts of them.

My childhood was both meager and puritanical;
I enjoy the finer things and a bit of deviance now and then.

I speak Spanish, and it saddens me that I have not practiced as much as times past.

I'm a eudaemonist;
I make my decisions based on whether or not they will make me happy

If I were a pharmaceutical product, I would try to be Wellrounditol.

I consider my life an ongoing struggle of simultaneous pursuits.
I want the finer things,
I want to be happy,
I want to be interesting.

I try to stay well versed in popular culture so I can laugh at other peoples jokes.

I would hope it to be one of my more endearing qualities that I don't objectify women.

I am a business consultant based out of Philadelphia

Sometimes this can imply a lot of traveling, which is fun because I am still young enough to enjoy it. Although, given the current economic climate, I am often working here in the city.

Outside of work, Im trying to make the most of my free time.

Talking

Smiling

Loving life

cooking

cleaning

working

My energy is inescapable, you can tell from being around me that im charged with all sorts of positive vibes.

I have composure.

I am pretty well spoken

I try to dress well, maybe people notice that?

There are of course, many more for each of the sections below, so I will give my favorites of the moment:

Books: unbearable lightness of being, zen and the art of motorcycle maintainence, anything by tom robbins,Jeanette Winterson, and other books that stun me with their prose or their storytelling.

The last book I read was "The Picture of Dorian Grey"

Movies:Amelie, Immortal beloved, Waking Life, Stranger Than Fiction,run lola run, eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, really it is usually films that qualify as artsy or foreign. I do enjoy silly comedies from time to time. Occasionally, movies with very little plot and lots of explosions are good when the mood so calls for it.

Music: Drum n' Bass,House, Classical, Jazz, Downtempo. Music is really determined by my mood, so what I listen to changes frequently. I love it when people introduce me to new music, its always a great gift. I enjoy being introduced to new types of all of these subjects, actually. So if you have a great book, movie, music, or food that you have to share, let me know.

Foods: Food to me is one of the many joys of life. I never met a mole or pad thai I didnt like. Favorites are usually: Sushi, Thai, and Mexican food. Emphasis on spicy.

I could include chocolate here, but that would be false. Chocolate is not a food, it was invented by the Gods to prove that true love can exist.

In terms of food, it is easier to list the things I DONT Like:
Horseradish (unusually strong, only good for clearing sinuses)
Raisins (I loved you when you were a grape, now the thrill is gone)
Sauerkraut (come on, who really likes this?)
Swiss Cheese (it just doesnt taste right, sorry)
[if its not on that list, chances are i like it]

I could be classified as an epicure

Sunshine (Great Warmth)

Happiness (Ever Replenishing)

Physical Activity (Body Refreshing)

Food (Gastronomy)

Music (Mood Appropriate)

Friends (Good Company)

True Love

My Motivation in life

Happiness

Being rich in both physical and spiritual possession
[Sometimes these causes conflict]

If I belong in this city or somewhere else in the world

Drinking with friends.

I usually go out on Friday or Saturday nights.

I do stay in on occasion, but I need a good reason.
