Self-descriptions are usually of one of two varieties: inflated to make ourselves appear more than what we really are and minimize our faults, or less than what we are because we are too modest to admit to those qualities that are great. Honesty is much more important.

I am not usually in the habit of talking about myself, but I'm an excellent conversationalist, the key to being a very good listener and how I commune with the world, encounter new experiences and people, and how I learn new points of view and experience some new cultures. Conversation is an art form that I may not have perfected, but I love to practice. I can be shy and adventurous depending upon my mood, but I am warm, friendly, adventurous, and cuddly. Plus, I love hugs.

I can speak Italian better than enough to get by, I seem to be really good at pop culture though I don't have a television, and I'm pretty good at going into a strange country or environment and exploring without fear. I like the energy of having friends, family, and acquaintances around because it makes the world a less complex and more beautiful place. The world is complicated enough and technology has made our lives more dependent, not simpler, so why don’t we just spend more time with those we care about before we realize it’s too late.

I am a voracious and passionate reader, curious about almost everything, and I lust after new experiences and new knowledge. I have recently learned to appreciate some newer contemporary authors including Barry Doyle and Irvine Welsh, and I am a recent convert to Indie Comics, but I have always appreciated animation from Saturday morning to Pixar. I don’t watch movies as often as I would like, but I appreciate the Independent, foreign, and classic variety. I have an appreciation for almost every type of music, but I generally appreciate the independent and unsigned stuff more often with a few classics thrown in for nostalgia. I love making music mixes for friends near and far.

I am in sales at the moment, the business to business variety, and while I seem to be really good at it, I am also working on an Internet radio Network thing, the natural evolution to a radio show I started from an apartment in Brooklyn, one of my real passions being music and discovering new bands.

I am really good at many many things, but I like to think I am on a perpetual journey for self-improvement that I will never perfect but always grow closer and closer to. I love helping people, and I love to listen. Some friends call for advice and while I do that, I also listen a lot and let them vent. Life is complicated enough and we are here to help each other become better human beings. I would like to believe I am doing some good in the world.

a smile behind deep penetrating blue eyes that reveal a intense but warm soul.

Lots of Illustrated books, Dr Seuss, Lane Smith, Mark Helprin novels, especially Winter's Tale and Soldier Of The Great War, and all of Harry Potter. Latest reads: The Commitments by Roddy Doyle, Parabola Magazine, The Sun Magazine, and a biography of Dante that I am still reading off and on. I am immersed in The Name Of The Rose by Umberto Eco. I seem to be on an Italian and Irish literature kick lately.

Music is universal, but I am partial to local and unsigned bands, some of it from friends everywhere. There are too many to list. but here are a few: Maggie Walters, Tom Vandenavond, Dave Hanley, Mark O'Connor, Django Reinhardt, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Ramones, Nick Lowe, Marshall Crenshaw, Joanna Newsome, and lots more Indie from a few Local College Radio stations.

I don't own a TV so I don't watch much. Freaks And Geeks and all of Apatof’s film projects are favorites. Wes Anderson, Tony Gatlif, the Farrelly Bros, the Cohen Bros, many independents and classics are also worth watching.

Face it, most of us could survive (although difficult in some cases) without caffeine, television, and an iPod. However, my do or die are: Friends, Family, Music, Books, an Open Heart, and a Sense Of Humour.

Everyone and everything has a purpose. I spend a lot of time thinking about many things, but I would like to know why and the reason we were all brought here to this place and time and we can all help the world become a better place.

Out seeing a band and hanging out with friends or curling up with a good book and letting my imagination run wild. I am pretty open to just about anything.

I'd rather walk around barefoot, but I clean up really well for the stiff suits and grown ups in your family.

Message me if you are looking for a real person. I am partial to a woman who isn’t afraid to think independently, have her own opinions, and isn’t afraid of being intelligent.

You should be someone who appreciates art, music, and literature, since I thrive on intellectual and artistic stimulation. You should want to have children, not necessarily now, but eventually. You should want to become a partner since family is very important and a responsibility that should be shared equally. And hopefully, you love kids and understand that they are people, too.

On a purely physical level, I am attracted to brunettes and redheads, though an occasional blond has caught my eye. Being Italian, I am mostly attracted to women who aren't so light skinned but like life, there are exceptions to every rule or preference.
