I am a straight cut thoughtful guy with a playful streak a mile wide. I hail from South Africa (left for good at age 24) and suspect this tangibly flavours me.

I am also an imposing (dashing?) 6'2" in OKC units, which are clearly a little more petite than their real world counterparts.

Living abroad, finding a haven which strikes a nice balance between stimulation and security. South Africa is looking a little woolly these days, so I set my caravan rolling as soon as I graduated to adulthood.

1981-1999 (Durban, South Africa)
2000 (Lillehammer, Norway)
2001 (Durban/Milwaukee)
2002-2005 (Grahamstown, South Africa)
2006 (London/Oslo)
2007 (Oslo/New York)
2008 (New York)
2009-present (San Francisco)

I have dropped anchor here and am really taken with San Francisco. I acquired 2 (hand-me-down) cats in New York and have every intent of making myself part of the furniture.

I:
run (between 20-40 miles a week at present)
boulder (Mission cliffs membership sprouting mushrooms)
bike, snow board
use a motorbike as my primary means of motorized transportation
am up for basically anything dynamic and exhilarating.

butchering the Queens tongue
non sequiturs
calling bullshit
licking my plate clean
tearing the bottom out of my pants
seducing animals (Like a ballsy snow white)

My wonky accent
My gregarious nature
My roiling undercurrent of physical energy

food: Larb Ped
music: Radiohead, Death Cab for Cutie, Bjork, Springbok Nude Girls, Beirut, Portishead, Broken Social Scene, Daft Punk, The Flaming Lips, Paul Simon, Queen, Rodriguez (I listen to a wide range of crud, I am not going to articulate every musical strain which rocks my tits)

This is South African and rocks my world:

(Finding South African music clips on youtube is like searching for dodos (Raphus cucullatus) in thick scrub; pretty fucking unrewarding)

The Flaming Lips' "Do you realize" is the most bitter-sweet song I have ever heard:

Relaxing inside with someone stimulating
Open for suggestions

is unlikely to be delivered in text on a website. That said, I am a bit of a romantic fool. I also have a third nipple, not that it amounts to much but this is a fitted luxury which comes as part of the package.

You have some curiosity about the world and have had some success (or at least the gumption!) in exploring it.
You suspect you can make me snort milk out of my nose with a well placed punch line.
You have pluck.
