I am smart, fun, and fit.

My Self-Summary

Hello! I'm into taking care of my self physically and spiritually. I believe in living a balanced life, nurturing mind, body, and soul. I love my scientific research job, as it is rewarding and challenges me intellectually. Hobby wise, I'm into soccer, hiking, nature, dancing, traveling, music, science, and general curiosity to experience new things in life. I love all kinds of cuisine, and enjoy a good bottle of wine with intimate conversation, divulging my soul.

I work on being spiritually aware and truly present in every moment to squeeze all the value I can out of life. Honesty and openness are crucial to living fully, in my opinion, especially being honest and open with oneself. Lately I've enjoyed meditation and intense exercise, as both thrust me into the moment and give me a deeper sense of existing in this world. I am very passionate about the magic of life and how the universe works. Whether good or bad, I believe that everything happens for a reason and I trust in life. As the Rolling Stones say, you don't always get what you want, but you get what you need.

My desire is to just live in tune with the flow of life and seize each moment.

What I’m doing with my life

I have a rewarding job in a laboratory, playing with fire, lasers, and electricity! It's awesome... I use my education and mind, while having fun with expensive toys, to solve problems in effort to improve the safety and cleanliness of our world. Each day I feel accomplished as I get to contribute to the welfare of our planet and life on it.

Outside of work, I live up each moment on various fronts; hanging out with friends, pursuing adventures on the weekends, dancing the night away, reading a good engaging book, exercising and eating well to nurture and care for my body, contemplating large ideas to deepen my understanding of what I see, and more. I travel whenever I can. Recently I spent my 2 week vacation in Greece, which was incredible. Before I started working about a year ago, I spent a year traveling, seeing a few countries in Europe, SE Asia, and finishing up with Australia and New Zealand.

On the inner front, I'm at a point in my life where I'm consciously working on deepening my connection with the world. It feels like I have embarked on a journey of self-discovery and I'm very excited to see where it takes me.

I’m really good at

Dancing... well, for a white guy. I love dancing, it's a great passion of mine. I need to learn more real dancing, like Salsa, so maybe I can make that a mission, especially if I meet you ;)

But really, I love going to dance clubs and just losing myself in the music. Rhythms, beats, melodies... they tickle my soul and make me feel quite alive. When I dance, I really feel like it's a spiritual experience. So, I guess whether I'm actually really good at dancing will have to be for you to decide, but I know I dance with a lot of passion, and I've had a fair share of compliments, so I'll have that suffice for this category :D

The first things people usually notice about me

My ludicrously long eye-lashes... Girls tend to get jealous. It's my goal to find a girlfriend that actually has longer eyelashes than me!

But that aside, as a personality trait, people tend to notice that I am very friendly and open, and I carry my heart on my sleeve. I feel I have little to hide and anything I am shy about, I tend to look at as a challenge to push myself out there. There is no reason for me to hide so I reach out as best I can. I show myself for people to take or leave as I am, there is no point in faking, for ultimately it hurts everyone.

My favorite books, movies, music, and food

I'm really loving Celestine Prophecy right now, it's a fantastic book... ignore the movie, read the book! As for movies, I love Fight Club and the message it brings about life and not living a materialistic and distracted life. Very much goes along with my attitude of always challenging myself to be true to the moment and know what I am about... the truth of the moment and our human imperfection is deeper and stronger than any ad.

Also, I love The Professional. An absolutely amazing and touching movie.

I love almost all genres of music... usually it just depends on whether the song is good or not. I love jazz, rock, rap, r&b, hip hop, classical, pop, techno, house... so yeah, show me new music!!

I'm pretty much equally open to food, too... I love all various ethnic and national cuisines. There is one common factor I prefer in my diet, tho... healthy and nutritious! But I do demand flavor and deliciousness, too. Believe me, it's possible to have it all :D I'll show you!

The six things I could never do without

Friends,
Chocolate,
Toothbrush,
Beard-trimmer,
Women,
Music.

I spend a lot of time thinking about

Women...

Ok, but seriously, besides the obvious ;) I really do think a lot about the big picture of life. I constantly have new things to contemplate, and each seems to contribute a step towards my enlightenment :D wrapping my mind around the world and my role in life is a grand challenge and a rewarding pursuit. It sets the mood for everything I do with my life. I'm a conscious liver and learner, a philosophizer if you will, and it's humbling to behold and admire the grandeur and beauty of it all!

On a typical Friday night I am

Hanging out with close friends, and enjoying the evening, whether bowling, going to a club (dancing, YEAH!!), watching a movie, lounging around and conversing, or anything else that comes to mind. My best late-nighters are with my friends in intimate settings where we talk about things close to our hearts, really listening and connecting with each other. I'm a night-owl at heart so the night time is often when I feel most inspired.

The most private thing I’m willing to admit here

I'm very happy with my life right now, I feel like I've been blessed with many amazing experiences, had great fortune in finding a rewarding and stable job, ran into fantastic people that have inspired me to grow and propelled me so far towards becoming a strong and able human being that I'm eternally grateful. I enjoy having a healthy and strong body, and am lucky to be able to take care of it and nourish it with quality food. I have plenty of hobbies and a good mind to pursue any intellectual curiosities that capture my fancy.

However, I will admit that I believe finding someone to share all that with would magnify my joys. In no way would I say I'm desperate for companionship. I don't NEED a woman to be happy or enjoy my life. No, my life is too damn awesome for me to ignore its goodness just because I haven't been lucky enough to meet that special one yet :D But I sure can admit that I WANT a woman to share it all with. That is why I'm here... duuh, hehe

You should message me if

If you feel that you also look for a depth of life that seems rare. If you like exploring your limits, and challenging yourself to broaden your comfort zone. If you want a man that's always open to helping each other grow and be the best human beings we can be. If you care for your mind body and soul, and actually put in effort to nourish all three. If you enjoy stimulating conversation, physical closeness, and spiritual connection...

Well, I'm pretty sure you get the idea. If you feel like I'm someone you may be interested in, there's a good bet you're someone I'd be interested in! So message me, it can't hurt... it's just the web ;)
