Name is Brian and I'm a happy guy. Mostly, I am about being social, hanging out with friends.
The most important thing to me is being honest with myself and allowing other people around me to feel like they are free to be themselves - I respect people I meet and who seem genuine. I like good honest conversations and am a good listener, and observant.
I drink, mostly on the weekends, if at all, but always socially. Usually out with friends, moderately, I don't drink to get wasted.
I work out regularly and try to eat healthy, when I can. I am not obsessive or clingy and am not the one to try and rule someone's time.
I like to smile, I say 'hi' to strangers in the hallway, hold the door open for women, kids/moms and elderly; just generally courteous and friendly.
I give honest, sometimes brutal, opinions. Nothing significant has ever come from not telling someone how I feel. And I have not always been correct, which brings me to...
I learn from mistakes. I make mistakes and errs in judgment but I learn from them and, therefore, grow. I heard someone say, once, "One who believes they know everything, will learn nothing. They cannot believe there is anything left for them to possibly learn."
I like it when someone can challenge my ideas and thoughts. I am not into someone who agrees with me all the time or always just wants to do/go what/wherever I want to do/go (being like-minded is OK, I understand and can dig that, but have some input).
You should just get to know me, really. The only agenda I have is to have fun and keep my mind open.
Oh yea, I FaceBook but only if I deem you OK. I got family and friends on it and I don't need a bunch of posts like 'you rocked my world last night' or 'you're gonna be a daddy', for everyone to see. that gets sooo old. I swear, it's never MY baby, they're always wrong 6-0. Genetic tests don't lie. Scene girls are so dumb...
I hope you like my humor. The only part of reality in that last paragraph was I really do FB.

Enjoying it.
Here are some details about my goals: Currently I work and manage in the IT field. I have just recently began a budget plan to buy a house in the fall of next year. Once I own my own home, I plan on going back to college. Basically, I have a good hold on my life and know where I am going, and keep my mind open to new ideas, experiences and relationships.

Listening, giving attention and honest opinions. Figuring out how complex things work. Being sarcastic and laughing at things I probably shouldn't. Observing. Making decisions. Bowling, billiards, a slew of card games, video games... all kinds of things really. I try to do my best at anything I do.

Good smile and deep blue eyes. My openness.

Some books that have changed how I look at the world are: A Language Older than Words and Culture of Make Believe - Derek Jensen, Ishmael series - Daniel Quinn, Disposable People: New Slavery in a Global Economy - Kevin Bales.
Some Authors I read for pleasure: Terry Brooks, Raymond E Feist, Margarett Weis/Tracy Hickman, Neil Gaimen.
As far as Movies go, I like movies with good cinematography and dialogue, mostly. But I also like some comedies, anime, documentaries and action films.
My music taste is somewhat picky. I like original sounding music and I don't want to hear something that sounds like it should be in a commercial.
I am pretty diverse in the food world and I cook well, with real food and fresh ingredients, not out of a box. I am not a vegetarian. Homo Sapiens have been eating meat for a very very long time and it has worked thus far. The issue I take with eating meat is factory farming and I am responsible with that. And as for my fellow meat eaters, I bet some of you would be vegetarian, if you had to catch and slaughter your own meat, make the kill.

Friends
Family
Honesty
An Open Mind
Sanity
Music

Mostly about what I am doing on the weekend or who I can hang out with after work. I keep my goals in mind all the time.

Doing something with friends.

I care

- You're at all curious and around the same age, or younger (10yrs younger would be my limit), than myself.
- You take care of yourself, physically. Not looking for some air brushed cover page model, just someone who respects their body.
- And if I message you first, don't worry about the first two "If's", they obviously do not apply.

So, really, other than those two stipulations, I have an open mind.
