Funny, Intelligent, and Honest

My self-summary Propose an edit

Ok, ok... a pale shrek - but an ogre sized heart!

[start sad violin music] I was born on the wrong side of the railroad tracks... an orphan left alone.... ha! Wait, wait... that's not right. I was born and raised in a happy family in Southern California, and about 4 years ago moved to South Texas.

I am looking for a woman who is happy with who and where she is in life. One who can laugh at my dry humor, enjoys the little adventures that life throws at us every day (e.g. following my broken sense of direction), doesn't mind (appropriate) public displays of affection. Someone who is kind, non-confrontational, but isn't afraid to speak her mind. I's ain't no genius meself - but intelligence is a must.

I would prefer a woman who is emotionally stable and available, financially responsible, and has outgrown the need for drama in her life.

I have lots of interests that I would LOVE to share with someone - but it would be great if you brought some of your own along to share with me.

I am unique. I can almost guarantee you've never met someone like me. From the collection of music on my iPod that surely no other guy in Texas can match (lol) to my rapier self-depreciating wit. And I'm still childish enough to believe that something amazing will happen to me yet.

I have many hobbies and interests, but my favorite is photography. I'll typically be out taking nature pictures (birds, seascape, zoo, etc) and if you contact me the first thing I'll probably do is include a link to my pictures online (fishing for compliments )

I also enjoy reading a lot (most recent was The Wheel of Time book 9 from Robert Jordan - slowly working my way through those) fantasy/hero type, history, suspense, political thrillers. Jonah Goldbergs new book is on my nightstand now. I have LOTS of books - even after donating a ton to hospitals whenever I've moved. Oh yeah! I like to cook too... would prefer to cook WITH someone than FOR them.

My 17 y/o son - and he is going to college! yayyyy!. He'll be living on campus this semester

I like all kinds of music, but mostly for the lyrics. I was in a rock band in my youth (it's the law in California - all male teens must be in a band). So as long as the lyrics carry meaning for me it can be rock, country, musicals, light opera - just about anything. I've played bass, clarinet, sax, oboe, and banjo (weird...) I haven't played any of them for years but have been getting a jones to pick one up again.

I don't watch much TV - but as a warning I'll laugh at everything from Family Guy/Southpark to Spongebob/Fairly Odd Parents. Uhhhh not that I only watch animation... lol. History Channel, Foodnetwork, Comedy Central, News... Just not in large doses.

I have an amazing job that I simply love. I get to be creative, learn new things, help people... it's great!

Photography! Or... well I think so anyway (-: I ENJOY doing it - so, maybe that comes through. Ask me for my link to my online pictures! I'm good with computers too.

The first thing(s) people usually notice about me Propose an edit

My eyes and wit

My favorite books, movies, music, and food Propose an edit

My "favorites" change with my mood - so all of these vary. I really miss Douglas Adams, his writing could make me laugh like no other. Right now I'm reading Jonah Goldberg's new book. For foods... I like trying new things, but like all types. Except... raw tomatoes. I like tomatoes cooked - like in pizza sauce, ketchup, salsa... but raw? (shudder) The seeds of the tomato are suspended in the Devils Phlegm. I know... but that's just how it is.
