Hey, You like stuff? I like stuff too. Looks like we have stuff in common!

I am an active participant in life. My interests involve travel, meeting people, and learning new things. I love going to cities that are new to me, concerts, museums, and trying unusual activities. There are so many great things in the world that I want to try, see, and experience for myself. I am always looking for inspiration of various sorts and creativity is key in everything I do.
People that know me would also say that I live for music and that is very true. I play bass guitar and study music theory. Composing music and then performing for others is one of my biggest passions.

Some things I enjoy are:

Animals, Art, Body modification, Camping, Dancing especially salsa dancing, Exercising, Gardening and Landscaping, Halloween, Health, Iced tea, Intelligent people, Love and Loving, Nature, Off-roading, Outdoors, People watching, Photography, Questioning things, Road trips, Rope play, Romance, Shopping, Scuba diving, Uncontrollable smiles, Vacationing

Words that I would use to describe myself are:

Respectful, Romantic, Affectionate, Caring, Determined, Earnest, Persevering, Sensible, Sincere, Thoughtful, Trustworthy, Easy-going.

I am living and experiencing life with zest! Working on my passions and achieving goals I set. For work, currently I am running my own landscaping business, specializing in design and installation. I love the combination of nature and art.

Long conversations
Being a gentleman
Being inquisitive
Listening
Smelling good
High fives
Cleaning
Composing music
Acknowledging both sides of the coin
Doing things with my hands
Being a great friend
Doing the right thing
Keeping calm when it counts
Making fire

Usually its something that stands out like the holes in my ears, my straw hat, octopus belt buckle, interesting boots or fun hair. Often I hear that I put off a good vibe.

Books:

Utopia by Thomas More (I agree with many of the things in this book.) Paranoia by Joseph finder (good page turner) The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, and my latest favorite Paulo Coehlo's book the Alchemist

Movies:

The Thomas Crown affair, Boondock Saints, Labrynth, The Neverending story, The Goonies, American History X, Secretary, What about Bob, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, V is for Vendetta

Music:

I like pretty much any kind of rock other then screaming vocalists. Classic rock, Punk rock, Hard rock, Death rock, Folk rock, Rockabilly, Pshchobilly, Most metal, EBM, Goth, Industrial, Blues, and yes even country. A few of the bands that I love are AfI, Black Sabbath, Avail, Biohazard, Rancid, and Flogging Molly all who I have seen in concert. I have an eclectic taste in music but have not yet been exposed to much classical, jazz, and other worldly music. http://www.playlist.com/punkbass13

Food:

First off I'm a vegetarian so no meat! I would have to say pizza is at the top of the list, perhaps topped with peppers and onions, Mmmm. Pasta not to far behind as far as common food goes. Mexican food, delicioso in my opinion and my favorite place to have it is in Mexico. I have tasted a lot of different foods and I want to keep on sampling. I like Chinese food, Indian food, Ethiopean, Greek, among others. A personal goal of mine is to try at least one new food a month. Oh, I do love me some salad bars, mmmm :)

Besides the obvious, food, shelter, loved ones... ok I'll give this more thought...

Music
Nature
Love
Intellectual Stimulation
Sharing life and its experiences with others
Something to look forward to or live for

Lots and lots of things like activities for my next vacation. My mind is always on the go, and I enjoy sharing my thoughts with others. I also like to have my brain stimulated, so I always look forward to intelligent conversation.

I don't have a typical Friday night. In general, I like to be out and about, even if it is a low key dinner or movie with a friend.

Boxers are not my thing and I do not own any. Not too good for exercising in, especially running.

Who I'd like to meet:

Ambitious people who know what they want and go after it. Those who do not make excuses for their short-comings or blame their personal struggles for their lack of character. Those who are honest to themselves and others. Those who are courageous enough to admit when they are wrong. People who aren't limited by today's society. Those that can make the simplest things in life fun like doing laundry or grocery shopping. I do know that I tend to be attracted to passionate people, curious people. The ones that question and attempt to grow and learn every day. Someone who will bring their own unique way of looking at life and challenge me to broaden my horizons.
