Just moved back from the San Fran Bay area.

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. 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 adventurous, passionate, and open-minded

I am living and experiencing life with zest! Working on my passions and achieving goals I set. I am trying to enjoy life as much as possible, and finding ways to better myself and learn from others. For work, currently I am running my own landscaping business, specializing in design and installation. I love the combination of nature and art.

The ability to laugh in crapy situations
Acknowledging both sides of the coin
Keeping calm when it counts
Doing things with my hands
Doing the right thing
Long conversations
Being a gentleman
Composing music
Being inquisitive
Smelling good
Reading Maps
Making fire
High fives
Listening
Cleaning

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 plus some of her other books, 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, Avatar, Zombieland, Point Break

Music:

I like pretty much any kind of rock other then screaming and groweling vocalists. Classic rock, Punk rock, Hard rock, Death rock, Folk rock, Rockabilly, Psychobilly, 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 proud to be a vegetarian so, no meat! 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, Indian, Ethiopean, Greek, Italian, among others. A personal goal of mine is to try at least one new food a month, if not more often. Oh, I do love me some salad bars, mmmm :) BTW Tequilla is something I highly enjoy.

Besides the obvious, food, shelter, loved ones...

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 or, Quantum physics. 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.
Another thing although not so private is, I dislike watching sports. I can enjoy playing them but, watching them is lame in my opinion.

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 are not private or closed. People who aren't limited by today's society. Those that can make the simplest things in life fun; e.g. 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.
