I think you can tell a lot about a person by the places their mind
wanders when they have time to daydream. If you spot a fossilized
seashell laying in a creek-bed of a local park, would you think to
yourself "that's a funny looking rock" and keep walking till you
reach your destination? Or would you kneel down to take a closer
look and wonder how long it's been there and what the world must
have been like when the little creature died. Giant extinct animals
we'd consider sea-monsters would be swimming overhead in the vast
inland sea that covered Ohio. It would be another 100 million years
before the first mammals appeared on earth, and 350 million years
before you knelt down next to the little fossil. You could try to
imagine how many strange and wonderful life forms have emerged and
passed in that amount of time, but you'd fail. But if you do try to
imagine such a thing, then there's a good chance I'd want to meet
you
I would classify myself as a skeptic. I love to think critically about everything in life, especially religion.
Politics are another subject that I love to scrutinize. There are so few people that know or even care about America's role the history of the Middle East. When people from that region attack us, we Americans are quick to condemn them without asking why. But when WE attack them, we fully expect them to understand why we're there. There will never be peace until we care more about justice than revenge.
Oh, and I also like cheese and very bitter beer :)
I'd like to meet anyone who has an open and inquisitive mind and likes to explore new interests and engage in a variety of physical and mental activities. I don't mind smokers, but it definitely puts a limit on how close I want to get to someone. I'm most compatible with liberal minded people. If you voted for Bush, we'd probably have lots to argue about :)
I believe relationships can take on many forms and still be mutually beneficial. They are like investments; you get the best returns when your investment has had time to mature. So ultimately, I'd like to find someone I can have a future with. But, meanwhile, being alone sucks and if someone comes along who for one reason or another doesn't fit the profile of a lifelong partner, but who is nonetheless attractive, trustworthy, and empathetic, then I wouldn't mind pursuing a platonic relationship that is still physically and mentally stimulating :)
Note to all religious nuts who feel the need to respond simply because I'm atheist: I'm more than happy to discuss religion, but please don't write unless you are actually willing to read the book you claim to pattern your entire existence after.
I am Introspective, logical, and silly
