what I'm looking for:
-I want to meet people who will help me to grow as a person. I want to learn new things from you and I hope that I can enhance your existence in some way too.
-I want to meet people who are secure in who they are and who look to foster healthy relationships in their life.

what I'm not looking for:
-pen pals, I already have more long distance friendships than I can manage properly
-a nag, I'm jewish/enough said

I have decided not to fill out "what I'm looking for", on the right, because my life is unscripted AND I would rather be judged on other things. If that doesn't make any sense to you, feel free to ask more probative questions.

I'm attempting to focus on the here and now and how I can be happiest in it. Right now this involves biking distances between 10 and 70 miles, going to yoga classes, riding my long board and relaxing somewhere chill. I believe I'm fairly self aware. I love 85%, give or take, of who I am. I love to be active, I love it so much in fact that failing to get any physical activity into my day makes me a sad panda.

Activities I am known to enjoy; skateboarding, biking, running, hiking, swimming, frisbee, skimboarding and snowboarding. I enjoy movies and some tv but I don't focus too well for long periods. I'm not very competitive but I do enjoy a good board game or game of cards. I learned how to play cribbage a year ago and I'm sure I could pick it up again with a little assistance.

Activities I would like to be enjoying; wind surfing, wakeboarding, and rock climbing.

***Just for kicks I took a look at my "similar users" on the lower right of my profile and today, 7 of 8 are more attentive. I'd like to say its not true but it might actually be a fact.***

Eating, a lot, I have a high metabolism (or else a tapeworm) and I eat constantly.

I read slow

Not big on scary movies, too many loop holes typically

I choose my music based on what compliments how I feel and this spans a wide array of genres

Is it tasty and at least marginally natural? I'll eat it.

I'm not emotionally dead but the list is either infinitely long or non existent.

who I am, my successes, my failures, and how I can be better, faster, stronger

where you are and how we can get along in a harmless or symbiotic manor.

To be honest, most of the profiles seem to read very much the same. (yes I do know how to read and yes I generally put the time in on the pages I visit although I look at the photos first in most cases) Ultimately though I have been fairly disappointed by internet connecting experiences.

If you want to be a friend/lover/rival/activity partner in the real world then submit your application and/or questions via OKC mail.

suggested topics include...
-how you are an emotionally stable person with a touch of crazy that makes you totally gorgeous
-any of the activities I listed above
-any activities I didn't note but that either (a) you enjoy and think I would too or (b) you want to try, you need a partner in crime and you think I fit the bill
-the western diet and how you are trying to escape it
-how you understand that I'm a bit of an introvert who seems to find a lot wrong with the world around him but you are sure that I wouldn't feel that way about you
