Read on if you can appreciate that some of this profile is tongue in cheek...

The first thing you will notice is that I have no kids. I am the most important person in my life. I look at myself in the mirror everyday and I realize that I am here for a reason even if that reason isn't always clear. In the end, you are really only responsible for yourself and your actions and in order to love others you must also first love yourself, which I do. ...

I am fiercely loyal to my family and friends. I don't let people down intentionally. I take pride in that my word actually has value.

I am looking for a woman who will walk with me through life and isn't afraid to take risks.

Trying my best to ignore that my life clock just added another year onto it..

Hurling. Yes its a sport and not a drinking game. Also, I will not quit playing it unless I have to move to a place that doesn't have a team/club. 40 pounds down since January and I figure between Hurling and TaiChi the number will keep heading south...that and I am on a pretty darned good team this year, semi final match this weekend!

I am good at making people laugh and cooking my own food. Really. I am not just saying that...

movie history, tarot ,tai chi and Western Mystery Traditions are things that usually take up my time. I have practiced/played TaiChi for 12 years. It is wonderful and opens doors to many things in your life.

I am 'larger than life'. I stand out in a crowd.

A) Dune novels, bonus points if you know what Starstruck is B) Magnolia,Ghost World,Boogie Nights,Sin City,Cloud Atlas C) Anything not Country-Western or rap D) Mexican,Italian,Spanish,French

water,pets,football(any),books,cards,music

When will I stop worrying and learn to love the Bomb? :)

Resting up for the rest of the weekend..or even an early jump by heading out on my quest for the best tacos in St. Louis.

I pass any background check I have ever had to take. Yeah, that makes me 'safe' and 'plain' and 'a nice guy'. If that bothers you, move along..

Lets go over the checklist:

1. If you read this far and you still aren't rolling your eyes. I am hoping you are laughing or at least smiling. Both are good for you. (they are healthy..seriously..)

2. If it doesn't bother you that I do not have children. I don't want to bring any of them into the world at this point of my life and is a strictly personal choice and not because I couldn't be a 'baby daddy'. There are advantages to having adult company. I am not anti-children, I just don't have any of my own. It is just something that never happened for me and it doesn't make me 'broken'.

3. If you really are looking for the one who really will have your back when things are going bad... among other things.

4. You are looking for someone who wants to be active. I am not the 'work, come home, sleep, repeat' person. I want to keep experiencing life and yes, it would be nice to share. Mom always told me to share..or else...

5. I am not the one that hurt you and you weren't the one that hurt me. Those who want respect, get respect!

P.S. I'm not bitter, I am a realist. It is what it is and cowards need not apply ;)
P.P.S. I will not apologize for who I am..
